I always get one Apple silicone and one Apple leather case for my phones. I ordered the midnight blue silicone this time (had white with my silver XS). I think the midnight blue pairs well with the green on the camera bump.

I'm still deciding on the leather color. Either midnight blue, saddle brown, or black. I will probably go with brown. I think the green leather doesn't have enough contrast with the green phone.

How did the green leather wear over time? Did it get a nice patina or just look dirty?
Not dirty. Just darker. See comparison below.

Has anyone else put an X or XS in an 11 Pro case?

Do the buttons line up? Or are they different

Oh this thread returns. We had such a good time last year lol. This year will be different for me. After trying so so many cases and failing to love them last year....this year I’m going with the one I always end up with anyway. Apple leather in black. I already received it yesterday and it’s great. Good luck to everyone!

I ordered a Spigen Liquid Crystal from Amazon for my 11 Pro Max. Then I broke down and also ordered a Totallee clear case, super thin. Someone please save me from myself.

I’m torn on what to do as far as a case goes. I’ve been using Totallee’s ultra thin cases (matte finish clear) on my X for the past two years. I like the fact they’re so thin, it’s almost like going case-less.

But I worry about the matte glass back picking up scratches if I go case-less, which will come across as glossy streaks, which will stand out even more than a scratch on glossy glass. I’ll give it try naked (the Pro Max, not me) for a couple of weeks and see what I think. The other option I may consider is putting a vinyl wrap on it.

I ordered a saddle brown leather case from Apple which I switch to depending on what I’m wearing. I love this case with a couple months of patina.

I also ordered the black leather case from Cyrill which the company was purchased by Spigen. This is the grippiest and thinnest black leather case I have found and I love it. I discovered it when toying with a s10+ don’t ask. And have used it on my XS max since.

I got Apple's clear case, if I don't like it for some reason I'll exchange it with the forest green leather case, that's what I had for the XS max anyway and I liked it.

What are the chances a Sena ultra slim sleeve from my xs max is going to fit the 11 pro max? I know the dimensions are very slightly bigger.

I’ve got a black leather apple case and the Alaskan blue silicone. Haven’t decided whether I’m keeping the gold, space grey or green yet so we’ll see which combination I like lol.
