Going with leather forest green this time. I’ve always gone leather, either midnight blue or saddle brown, so thought I should change things up a bit this year. The forest green seems like it will go well with the slight green visible through the camera cutout. And it’s already quite a dark shade, so how much worse can it look after a few months eh?
Got a tip for us?

Naked all day for me. What's the point of getting the Midnight Green if you're not going to show it off or enjoy the beauty unless you went clear.
When you put it that way, maybe it could be worth considering the clear case. I’m only worried about how well it resists yellowing.
I bought the leather one because It was in the moment.... bought this clear liquid case but i usually just get a clear skin and rock it without a case. So probably careless even after all the purchases
Spigen Clear Case. $13 on Amazon, I cant justify $39 for Apples Clear Case when its the same case that everyone else sells for under $15
Clear cases will always turn yellow over time, the Apple clear case is no exception.
Couldn’t have asked for a clearer response - thank you.
That’s actually not correct. TPU cases will turn brown or green because the rubber starts to oxidize as soon as you put them on. You can see this process happening after only a few months. They get really ugly over time.
I tried using a Spigen TPU clear case that was supposedly immune to discoloration on my XS Max, but it started to turn after a few months.
Hard plastic cases, however, do not discolor. They do get scratched, though, which I why I always buy the ultra thin ones from eBay (usually half a dozen or so for about a dollar each) and swap them out as needed.
My son has had a Apple clear case on his XR this they were released and there is no yellowing at all.
That is very useful to know - thank you. Also, I was under the impression that the Apple clear case was soft plastic - don't really prefer hard plastic cases.
I go caseless most of the time. With my Xs max, I’ve been using the forest green leather case occasionally. It’s a beauty. But I dint want to repeat the same one with the midnight green 11 pro max. So I think I’ll go for the ‘Donker Citroen’ as it’s called in Dutch...
Hmm... that’s what I’m a little worried about too. On one hand, my forest green case still looks relatively good. On the other hand, it’s a dark colour! I wish they had this colour in silicone.
