Picked up a Midnight silicone for my PM. Feels good so far, still got a leather on the way.
 
That's a bummer. I've used them for many years and never had a fail. Fortunately their customer service is great and they'll undoubtedly replace it.
Yes they refunded me and sent a new one but I have a 13 pro max now, it's still in the snail mail to Australia.

They refunded and replaced it, I found it slippery, wouldn't buy another one, sheath would be better imo.
Hmm I’ll see if they’ll cancel my order and refund since it hasn’t shipped yet. I’m not a fan of the sheath as it wouldn’t be my choice if I wanted something completely opaque.
 
No problem and I know a lot of people say to stay away from the Apple clear case since it's a lot more slippery than other clear cases and there is no protection at the bottom (it's open) compared to other clear cases.

I think the Spigen Ultra Hybrid (Clear case) is the best looking clear case that has the MagSafe rings that's comparable to the Apple clear case. I've seen other similar to Speck or Mous clear
For the first time, I bought a silicone case instead of leather. I’m really happy I did. I really like the feel of it! Went with Abyss Blue, I like it a lot!
I have that for the Sierra Blue Max. It’s a beautiful combo.

The back is very smooth like last and this years OB symmetry, even the sides with the grip were not that good. The sheath has more grip, but the sides come away easier from the phone in a drop, have experienced that.
 
I plan on getting 5 for my 13 Pro Max (when it arrives one day).
To start.
Yeah, I tend to go a little accessory crazy. :rolleyes:

Silicone: Blue Jay, Abyss Blue, and Clover Green.

Leather: Dark Cherry and Sequoia Green.

I really love the Blue Jay for silicone and the Dark Cherry for leather. But I'll try 'em all.

I don’t blame you. If I could I would. Enjoy

I purchased a Midnight leather to go with my 13PM since they don’t have saddle brown. I noticed the leather case fits more snug this year.

Anyone notice that the power button and volume buttons are harder to press compared to last year? It’s also not as ‘clickity’ feeling.

Yep definitely noticed the buttons being not as clicky. But not by much.

The buttons on the clear case last year were so stiff that I stopped using the case.

Make sure you try Blue Jay last.
I made mistake by putting on Blue Jay first and cant see past the beauty of that case.
Abyss Blue and Dark Cherry still lurking in my cupboard untouched lol:
 
Popular and good choice!

Did they improve the silicone case this year? It’s not as sticky and doesn’t dust seem to attract and lint as much as past years.

After being in my pocket both Saturday and Sunday, it had a decent amount of lint stuck to the case. Not sure how it compares to last years though.

How about the glass screen protectors? I see that some of you guys have the glass screen protectors that cover the area of notch where Face ID sensors and Front Camera are located. Are the functions of those affected?

I tried out the Pro Max version of this in the kumquat color and was disappointed and returned it. It doesn't look bad, but the rails are super flimsy and squishy (they caught a bunch of dust in between the lip of the case and the screen) and it's way stickier than I'd like. Nowhere near the quality and feel of the Apple silicon cases, but I guess you get what you pay for!

I have the tech armor screen protector and it works just fine. Covers the notch with no issue using these functions.
