I had a sheath for the X and XS Max. Never had that issue but a bad fall can certainly happen. The one positive to the Symmetry is it is so nicely thin for a protective case.
I loved the sheath till that happened, as it was only 2ft i lost all confidence in their 6ft claim for such a thin case. Guess it's all about how it lands, but i reckon it wouldn't of happened in the symmetry as the sides are stiffer and thicker.
I even got a thin CarbonThat case for my Pro thinking i wanted thin/light as possible, and dropped it on the road about 3ft, lucky it landed on the back corners and got no damage.
Those are the only 2 times in a year i have dropped my phone though.

Which one do you use/recommend?
It seems nearly all the cases are terrible. The official apple ones offer literally no protection.
Its hard to get the perfect case, that's why we are all buying/trying so many. I am using the OB Symmetry i got it for $20 here when i bought some Bose 700, normally $59AUD retail.
Still have a CarbonThat case, very nice thin case but has no lip protection.
The OB does have a smooth back but doesn't worry me as the sides have grip.
