Damn, should of just got this case straight up. Only reason i didnt' was my XR one had no lip at all and would lay on the glass screen protector face down, and i presumed this would be the same. So:

Good buttons, not as clicky as the symmetry but way better than the Active i tried, the symmetry buttons started to annoy me, too easy and sticking out a bit, so was hitting them all the time. These are recessed a bit.
Perfect amount of lip with a GSP
Good grip
Same nice leather and its black black

Can't fault it really. Keeper.

Do you notice that this one is slightly thinner than the Active version?

Also got a battery smart case today, man it weighs a bit, rang up to do a return and they said keep it and have refunded me $199 Here. Not sure what to do with it now.

I’ve always bought bunches of cases and always ended up having the phone naked.
That changed with Apple’s leather cases. I imagine this is the case with most good quality leather cases.

I had dropped my iPhone X with the saddle brown case in pools, pavements, roads. It got scratched, discoloured, scuffed but still looked good because of the well ageing leather.

I now got the green leather case to match the 11 Pro without second thought.

It’s all about how it falls, if you are unlucky enough and it lands bottom down it will damage the phone.

That’s exactly what happened to myself BobSamm. After I dropped my 11 pro I was almost positive no damage was present because I’ve seen Apple leather cases protect phones. But, just my luck it dropped and bounced right on the bottom edge on asphalt damaging the bottom of my phone. ? My Nomad case comes in the mail today and I’ll be using that until I get bored with it.

Yes!! Thank you for posting this. Got my rugged case today and I was on the fence about returning it. It feels a bit “mushy” to me. That’s the best way I can describe it, but it’s a solid case. I’ll stick with it for now.

In my travels this morning, I stopped at my local Best Buy just to pass the time and ended up walking out with their insignia case that is the dark frosted. It actually might be the best case I’ve tried thus far.

One with the hard back? Softer-ish sides?

If it’s that one ^^^ I posted about it a bit back. It IS a solid case. Seems to finger print worse than any other but I really like that case, too. Not sure what it is about it but

Those look identical to Rhinoshield’s cases. I couldn’t see the honeycomb design inside of the case to see if it is a Rhinoshield replica.
I ordered a Spigen liquid air case from amazon that should be here today. Thin and somewhat protective with decent buttons for $12.99. My Nomad buttons are terrible.

I actually have to speak in case. It’s very good, and a great value. I just find the back gets fingerprinted like crazy
