I need Caudabe to have better shipping. It’s going to take a week to get to me from the day I ordered. In the world of free 2 day shipping that’s a bit much.[/QUOTE

My order from Caudabe was via DHL SurePost or whatever they call it and took a over a week, DHL to post office then post office to me

When you put the iPhone into the case with the screen protector, did it snag lifting the protector up at any time?

Not at all but it was super close the edges of the protector but a perfect fit.
I got rid of the case over the fingerprint problem on the back.

This Bodyguardz pure 2 edge is a fantastic protector that comes with the alignment tray and goes on perfect.

Got a new casetify case. I love how it doesn’t feel bulky.
 
Two questions:

1. I can’t find a real wood slim case for the XS. Anybody have any recommendations?

2. How do I set my Animoji as my profile avatar on here?
 
I've been very impressed with Apple's white silicone case after a couple of weeks. The black leather case has been my default for years, so I just wanted something different this time around.

It's been easy to clean and feels great in-hand. We'll see how well it holds up over time, but so far so good!

UPDATE: Welp... I spoke too soon, because a month later and this case is looking awful. I baby my phone (no drops, no moisture) and tried a few different methods of cleaning it... No luck.

My white silicone watch band still looks brand new after 2 years, so I thought the case would hold up for a while as well. I'm now using Apple's black silicone case.

Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a white silicone look so dirty. Usually it’s regarded around here as the most durable color in the silicone lineup

Ouch. Thanks for the update. I bet Apple will replace that for you if you take it in. Also bad news.....the black one turns too. It turns grey looking.

Oh dear. Also ordered a Spigen thin fit. Friday night drinking and “order in the next 5 minutes to get it tomorrow “ are not a good combination! 3 cases?!
Cases arrived. The Spigan and the Torras are similar. Very thin. The Spigan is open at the top and the bottom. The Otterbox I like. I think it's great protection but man is it hard to take off! Don't like that about it. The Solid Suit was easier to take off.
 
I run the Solid Suit Carbon Fiber on my XS Max and I am very satisfied with it as I bought it for maximum protection with minimum bulk....To me it's got a decent grip to it....plus I am pretty good at not dropping my phone.
How much bulkier is it than say the apple leather case... i know it’s gonna add some, I just didn’t know if it’s gonna be a huge shock

Hard to say. Probably double the bulk. I’ll get you a picture in just a few minutes.

Okay maybe not double. But it feels twice as bulky. But I don’t find it overly bulky. Hopefully that makes sense.

I've been a user of the Tech21 Tactical for many years. They stopped making it, I stopped giving them my money. On a recommendation here, I picked up the Speck Presidio Grip. 2 weeks, the grip lines started coming off. Highly disappointed in the quality of that. I took a chance on the Mous Limitless 2.0 for the XS Max. I grabbed the Carbon Fiber version. I LOVE this case. My one and only complaint, it's a bit slick laying it down screen up on a smooth surface. It can be bumped and slide easily. Other than that, I'm shocked at how much I love this. Used a 20% off code and it shipped from Nous and arrived in 3 days. Very happy, and highly recommend the Mous Limitless 2.0, at least for the XS Max!
the mous is grippy ?
 
Hmm, the Otterbox Statement at the Apple store feels nice. Forgot my wife has that on her 8plus. Hey have a felt version that feels nice.
