Which case did you get for your new iPhone 11/Pro/Max? [Merged]

Ordered the midnight green 11 pro. Still heavily doubting if to put on a case and/or which case to put on. Doubting between the forest green leather or the saddle brown..

What are you guys looking for in the combination with the Midnight Green iPhone?
 
Bought a couple cheap flexible TPU cases with air-cushioned corners from Amazon like I do every year. I have AppleCare, so I'm really just looking for something to protect from scratches.

That's the problem with these long combined threads... no one goes back and reads and answers legitimate questions...

I wonder the same thing... not just with spigen for other clear ones, too. I mean I know the apple leather worked well for me the last 2 phones.... but this year I want clear. Not a fan of apples open bottom. I also want matte and it appears spigen and others are all shiny. Haven't been able to get an answer on if the apple one is matte like the phones....

I'm torn. I ordered a cheapy from amazon for immediate use and the clear from apple (not shipping til later since I waited.)

if you are concerned about dust and lint then even moreso I would say leather... I never have issues with lint with my apple leather... just some dirt when I use the phone at the range with my dirty hands! lol! but it cleans off! (the dirty hands were more of a problem with my pretty pink case on my X.... but with black you don't have to worry about dirt or dust/lint with leather!)

Incipio usually has a "transparent" case that is matte, looks like the clear case they have up is clear though. I would keep an eye on their site.

I did the exact same thing. I had saddle brown the last 2 years. I will probably go with the green and return the clear as I’ve never like a clear case but I figured I give apples a shot
 
Thinking of forrest green leather or saddle brown leather, or both. Maybe a bumper if they still make those?
 
I was thinking of doing this, I could already picture the patina and the midnight green shade combined. However, I’m thinking of rocking it naked with Apple care plus and a screen protector at least. I don’t know what to do.

I just got this one in the mail today, its clear with a print. Pretty sturdy case. I will buy more cases later. This is good for now along with my screen protectors.

Easier to swallow when it's a cheap case... notsumuch when it's apple priced. Wonder if they replace it if it yellows six months from now? I don't want to have to spend another $35 when I normally have my apple cases the full year.

How did the green leather wear over time? Did it get a nice patina or just look dirty?

That’s a great idea. I’ve always wanted to do it but chicken out. I’d hate dealing with the broken glass and the process of having it replaced. I’ve used a leather case when outdoors but keep it nude whenever I’m at home or at my desk at work.
 
I went with the Apple Pine Green silicone case for my Midnight Green iPhone Pro Max. I had the Apple green leather case for my XS Max last year but I don't want the exact same case again.
 
Just got the tech 21 evo check in. Tremendous improvements over previous iterations. Bottom lip is no longer saggy, buttons are better and interchangeable. Only draw back, as with all clear/smoke cases, fingerprints. Really can’t wait for my 11 pro max

The Torras slim case I ordered from Amazon yesterday for the 11 Pro just arrived. Been using the XS version for the past 6 months and it’s held up better than the other 2-3 brands of slim cases I tried prior to it as far as resisting scuffs and scratches. Feel of it is also very nice and the 11 version looks to be exactly the same material and fit/finish.

Also ordered an Apple leather case to have another option but I prefer the thinner cases so it won’t likely get used as often.

Apple leather cases are very thin.

Ordered my iPhone 11 pro this morning, and I had Favorited both the Max & the 5.8 cases, I was not sure which phone i was going with. During check out I was moving too quick and ordered the damn Max case...Boy I am stupid, by the time I realized the clear cases were on back order until mid October. Oh well, cancelled the clear and will probably go with the yellow in leather
