Which case has the best on hand feeling? I think grips play a lot in this part. Prefer case with sticky feeling or doesn't slip out of your hand easily

Definitely the  Leather cases for me. The silicone just sticks too much.

I have never bought a silicone case from apple always leather. I got my first silicone apple case on discount at Best Buy and I’m impressed. I love the feel and comfort and grippy nature. For $8 it was a steal.

Speck Presidio Grip hits the sweet spot of being nice and grippy without being sticky. I had a Presidio Grip on my XS, currently have the Caudabe Sheath on my 13 Pro and its grip feels nowhere near as secure/positive as the Speck.

I like the Caudabe Sheath, but I'm waiting to see if Speck comes out with more colors for the Presidio Grip 2 MagSafe. As soon as there's a color I really like, I'll be buying one.

I had the presidio grip before. Don't you think the texture behind is a little bit uncomfortable on your palm if they rub against each other alot?

Personal/subjective, and it can change as your life changes.

A mini with grip is fine if you mostly need it for drunk texting and calling ubers.

Typing up work emails and doing product photos? Might want to consider a pro max, a slicker surface for sliding in and out pockets/jackets/bags, and maybe even a folio or handling attachment.

I've never had any discomfort with it at all. I actually like the extra grippiness of the Presidio Grip against my palm.

So far... Mous Limitless 4.0 feels the best. Holding it give a very secure grip feeling and won't slip out.

For best feel in the hand, you can't beat a silicone case. It doesn't even have to be from Apple. Pretty much any silicone case from any manufacturer will be great in the hand. How long they stay that way and how annoying they are to slide in and out of pockets is a different story. But brand new, straight out of the box/package, they're the best feel.

I have an iPhone 8 silicone case on my work SE and I love how they feel once they've aged. Just today I dropped it for the first time and as I always do, I kicked my foot out trying to save it and ended up kicking it under a dumpster (recyclables only, thankfully). Still looks great. I prefer leather for my personal device but this would be a close second.
