I like the ModNX more this year than in previous years (the whole backplate thing seems to work better with the square sides of the new phone), but overall, i still prefer the SolidSuit. But that is just personal preference...
Got the Liquid Air cover from Spigen today. Easier to put on then the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and not "sticky" to touch.
Oh man... I had one of these for my 4 and carried it over to the 4S so it got used for almost three years. I'll never forget that texture on the back. If I were a case person these days I'd be all over that.
I just want to reiterate my earlier comment DO NOT BUY FROM MOUS.
The worst CS I’ve ever experienced.
A case where the cut-outs are all off preventing access to device buttons/functionality. They’ll admit they’ve got them wrong but then ask you to pay for the return.
Awful.

I tried the Gear4 Battersea. The case and grip were nice but the buttons were terrible. Hard to push with no feedback at all.
The Speck Presidio 2 and Otterbox Symmetry are good enough for now.
Presidio2 has the best buttons of any case I have tried. The grip is not as good as previous years and it does have some finger printing. The grip is good enough though and the protection and buttons make it a very nice case. Fit is also extremely nice.
The Symmetry has about the same grip as the Presidio 2 but not as good buttons. The buttons still work pretty well, just not as good as the Iphone 11 series. No fingerprinting on the back and a nice fit.
Price on both are too high but if you have a retailer that has sales, they can be worth it. ATT offers 30% off when you buy 3 accessories online or buy 2 get 1 free in store. The online offer can use just about any accessory as the 3rd.

That looks great, thanks! I ordered mine and a set of screen protectors last night. Can't wait for arrival... how long after order did you receive?
I always buy WAY too many cases. I sold my Xr today, in total I had 27 cases for it.
I tend to grab some go to cases before the phone arrives then collect them after, I loved the clear ESR case on my Xr, and use one for my iPad too so grabbed their clear case, and then spotted the halo lock case, wasn't so much the halo lock that made me order but the colour, their standard TPU case is darker blue.
I am not disappointed. LOVE the blue of the halo lock case. Sorry for the crappy pics of the clear case, hard to take with no glare but it's got the tiny dots to stop the rainbow effect and it adds basically no bulk. Grabbed one of their USB C - Lightening cables too since I like to keep the phone accessories in the box for when I sell it on. Honestly given the price of their cases the quality is fab.
Ordered the ESR glass back case too. Plus the Ringke air s and a casology pop.

I ordered mine on Sunday evening off a seller on eBay, paid extra for 1st class post and got it today.
Lol they've offered me replacement and admitted that their case is warped. I highly doubt that replacement will be any different.
Quick review of the clear while I wait for mine to be delivered? (I have the blue 12, too. I think the combo looks great.)
Feels good in the hand, the leather has a really nice texture. Not as good as Apple’s leather. But if you put them side by side I’m not sure Apple’s would be worth that extra £40

Looks exactly like the Caudabe Veil for almost 1/3rd the price.

For those who like Speck grip cases but dont like the latest changes then this is for you:
Really grippy with good protection and not to bulky, I will use it until my caudabe sheath arrives.

Does the magsafe work ok through it?

Why wouldn't it? It doesn't get any thinner than that and at 0.35mm, the magnet shouldn't have any issues attaching...
However, my issue with it would be that the sides do not raise over the screen, if you use a screen protector. I've had this combination with my iPhone X... Super slim case and screen protector. The Screen protector would regularly break and I would have to buy new ones every 1-2 months... Over the course of 3 years it must have cost me over 200 bucks in screen protectors.
Yes, still cheaper than a single screen replacement, but could be avoided if the case's lid raised above the screen protector...

I went with the Tech21 Evo Clear. I had a Tech21 on my 7 plus that I just upgraded from and that case was on there since day one, up until 10/23 when the pros came in. Had been through MANY drops and my 7plus looks brand new still. I was torn trying to find a good clear case for my PB Pro because it is just a nice looking phone and color. Tech21 has very clear back but the edges are not as clear. The right side where the mmwave window is is very clear so I don’t believe it will mess with that if I can ever find mmWave where I live lol. When looking at the phone screen the sides seem cloudy and more of a white, thought it was a defect but I bought the same case for my wife’s Silver Pro and it’s he same. I think it’s just the the way the material is made for the 10ft drop protection. Tech21 site claims MagSafe COMPATIBILITY but I haven’t purchased a MagSafe puck yet so I can comment on that yet. Overall I would recommend this case. It doesn’t add much more bulk but you can feel that the case is there. Something that you get used to immediately. I feel much better now with it on and feel like it’s going to really protect my Pro. Raised lips on both front and back. Snuff fit but was easy to put on. Somewhat of a finger print magnet but I’d rather wipe prints than pick up a shattered phone. Very nice button response, you still get a very satisfying click. Anti-yellowing but we will see in a few months.
I’m one of those people who can only buy products made by Apple for my iPhone.
I bought the white silicone case and the clear plastic one.
The white case seems to add zero weight. It’s insanely soft to the touch and it takes the “sharpness” off the iPhone’s edges. It makes the blue camera bump really pop and the whole combo looks great. It’s a win.
The clear case is very soft. But it’s visually distracting, a massive fingerprint magnet and the white circle is not centred around the Apple logo. Total fail. It’s going back.
Both cases are fiddly to get on and off. But I love the animation on the lock screen when you put them on.

Indeed it does
