Works for me! In your pictures, it was the 2nd one from the right on bottom. It looks pinkish.
Well, I think I’m going to try the otterbox defender. Nothing like turning my phone into a solid brick.
No, I have the space gray 11 pro. I missed out on the Walmart $20 deal, but it’s on sale at Best Buy for $40.99 and that’s for the defender pro. I’ll pay the extra $21 to not set foot inside of a Walmart. My otterbox collections is expanding. ? Not by much though, so far I have the clear symmetry, black commuter and now the black defender pro.
Yea, I have an extra Defender Pro for the Max that I would take $30. shipped for but that's doing you no good.
The Defender is a great feeling case but my OCD can't handle the thought of that hard plastic shell rubbing the sides of my phone. ?
?I hear you. So far, I’ve only seen that one case (no pun intended) where that xs max was scratched to hell.
I figured with the defender and my extra pop socket I’ll never worry about hurting my 11 pro.
Good lord the defender pro is a beast of a case and I’m really liking it. The buttons are kind of mushy because of how thick the rubber outer layer is, but this chunky boy feels solid and looks it can handle some serious drops. ? It has so much grip that I don’t think I even need a pop socket for a more secure grip.
I also like the Defender Pro but that plastic scratching the edges of my phone scares me, especially that area near the charge port. It is a FATTY though.
I’ll end up checking every few days for scratches. It feels awesome in the hands so I’m really hoping it doesn’t scratch my phone.
Yea, please keep me posted. I want to take mine out for another spin.

This case is hilarious. My wife asked me; did you get a new phone? I said nope and she asked; then what’s with that tablet? ?
Its hard to recommend one all around good case. They all have their issues so there’s going to be sacrifice from case to case. While one has good grip may lack responsive buttons or may lack in protection. One may have good protection, but lack grip. One may have both, but it’s to bulky. For myself the best all around case is the black otterbox symmetry with a pop socket. Not the symmetry with a built in pop socket. It’s a thin sleek design that will protect your phone from just about any drop and has awesome buttons. The pop socket adds that security of an improved grip. But, that can be said for any case really. If you like a thicker case you can use a rhinoshield with a pop socket or for a thinner case the sheath. I think that’s the reason why we try so many different cases because we each have not found the case that works best for us as an individual. Lol I hope that makes sense. It’s early here and I’m just getting my day started.
Finally found a clear case that is very good, and relatively inexpensive as well. Nice fit with very tactile buttons all the way around with no creaking when held. Certainly blows away the apple clear case for sure!

Might yellow in a few months so I picked up two. I think this and my forest green sheath will do it for me...

I’m actually sending off my Bullstrap case and wallet to rose anvil for a tear down to see what leather and stitching is used. He should show case it in an upcoming YouTube tear down video. I like Bullstrap’s products.
As promised, received the Figura case today. Overall, it is a very good case.
1. Buttons are good, but not as good as OB Symmetry or Apple Silicone. Close, but not quite. Takes a little more effort to push them.
2. Grip is great; maybe slightly less grippy than Apple Silicone. Hard to describe, but maybe a little rougher/more coarse texture.... you aren’t gonna drop this case. 3. So far seems to attract more lint than silicone. Maybe because I have had the case longer and it has smoothed down a bit...dunno.
4. More of a lip than Apple Silicone...see pics. Almost same size as Silicone overall, but on a flat surface, a little “thicker” due to the lip.
5. Of course, no “padding” or lining on the inside of the case, just bare silicone.
Anything else, just ask and I will do my best to answer.

Which case are you using in last pic and for which device?
