Got this gem in today. Solid case @$15. That bright orange border around the blackness of screen is sweet. It’s a BRIGHT orange, too. Good click buttons, right solid figment. Slightly loose directly above lightning port and beside volume buttons but nothing I would classify as abnormal. Solid feeling in hand and on the grippier side.

As I say, definitely paid a lot more for cases I liked a lot less. Solid case all around at $15.

That seems to be my go to at the moment. It’s slippery as hell though for the first week or so. The gray/black Apple leather case has way more grip right out of the box.

Damn, does the grey get blacker over time or stay the same?

Some say it gets blacker, but it’s still the same shade of black as far as I can tell. I’ve used it for about a week on and off. In the patina proud thread some have posted that in a few days it gets black, but I haven’t noticed mine getting any darker.

It does make the phone look sleek and it handles much better. That’s a great photo by the way.

I’m not to sure if the grip is a little wider than the pro. I think I read the pro is also a bit sticky to the touch which is great for grip. It still has the same great buttons as well.

Ok so I've tried Rhinoshield Solidsuit, Mous Contour, Otterbox symmetry and finally, Speck Presidio Pro (black)... I have to say that my final choice is Presidio Pro (all the way). Pretty similar to the ob symmetry but with grippy back. Seems protective and looks very smart

How do you find the finger printing?

I had both Mujjo and Bullstrap leather cases for my Xr ... both were really nice .... and both had enough roughness that I didn't worry about dropping the phone.

Traded the Xr for an 11 pro and picked up the Apple midnight blue leather case and it's very slippery. Does that tend to become less of an issue after a while?

Also curious how people compare Mujjo and Bullstrap cases to Apple's.

Yea, the fingerprints/smudges on the Presidio Pro drove me insane. ?

For $19.99 might be worth trying again though. Wonder if the Camo Joint would have less fingerprints?
I see no discount on the camo ones.

My wife just ordered me a custom case off of Redbubble for the holidays. It is their tough case with the correct speaker cutouts. Should have it later this week. Woohoo

I've had plenty or Presidio Pro's in the past and they were all fingerprint city.
Maybe these newer ones are better?

Not sure but it didn’t look or feel like it would be a fingerprint magnet. Seems more like a matte look. Mine will be here Wednesday so I’ll see...

I wish that was the case. I had one of the new ones just a few weeks ago. It was returned within 24 hours. It was an absolute mess on the back

Just put that carbon Mous case on and now I know why I stopped using it....................FINGERPRINT CITY ! :mad:
How can anyone live with the fingerprint mess on the back of this case?
Is there anyway to avoid the fingerprints on this aramid fiber?
