Thanks for the pics. You like this better than the SlipperySuit?

No problem. I do like it better. Compared to the SS it’s MUCH thinner and MUCH grippier. I know that I’m sacrificing protection here but that was the plan combined with Apple Care. Well that was the most recent plan.

This is your first Sheath right? Curious if the grip changed at all.

 

[Jaggrey]

Well I got my Patchworks in. Grip is good but case is kinda wide. Back is hard plastic so that’s pretty slick, but the sides are good. So I dunno.

 

[Jaggrey]

I’ll take it?

Sure I can forward it to you. They just sent me another one to another email account, and they showed up on my Facebook feed with a 10% off coupon. Why the heck did I pay full price?!

This is my 3rd. 2nd for the Max. Grip seems the same to me on all 3.

Does your Patchworks rock back and forth while laying on it's back on a flat surface?
My phone stayed in this case for about 10 minutes before I changed cases.

 

[AE14]

Yep.

Looking forward to getting this....it should be here Saturday.

I have a plain black Solid Suit and leather Mous Limitless 2.0 for the iPhone XS.

I love everything about the SS except the smooth edges. My hands are dry and I find it hard to hold on to the slippery edges.

The Mous has slightly better grip on the edges. The leather back however, is not as grippy as the rubber back on the black SS. FYI, the camera cutout on the Mous case has the old iPhone X positioning. It doesn’t really bother me, but be warned that the camera is not exactly centered in the cutout.

I’m using the Mous for now based purely on the grippiness factor. If the SS had more grip, it would have been the perfect case for me.

Hi,

Can you please post pics of mous case

TIA

Ok. Time to check the mailbox.

Crossing fingers for new version.

New cutouts on mine

Nope mine lays perfectly flat. But I’m not sure if I’m keeping this one.

Leather sleeve from crazy horse craft. Very well made!

 

[HuskerHarley]

Yep.

Does the edge feel sharp above the speakers where it transitions from Back to curved Bottom?

There is definitely a seam there but I wouldn’t call it sharp. I wonder why they put the texture every where but on the bottom.

Anyone try out the Patchworks Level Arc for the Xs Max?

 

[Hooterville]

Wonder if I can get the Lavalamp case for the max ?

Just got mine in today. My thoughts are a few posts up.

I got it and while it has fantastic grip and decent buttons I don't like it.
Mine is bowed like a banana out of the package and even with the phone install it does not lay flat on the back. I posted some pictures of it a few pages back.

ok yeah I was wondering if that was the case...Yeah I can easily see how what you said could be. I loved my Patchworks Mono Grip for S9+ but of course they don't make that design anymore
[doublepost=1541644362][/doublepost]Im trying to find the case that's going to pull me away from the SolidSuit. Im loving the Nomad Rugged on my XR so I might get that for the Max.

I’ve been using for about an hour and I think the smooth bottom is for the support pinky. And actually (this is a weird compliment) my pinky finger fits very comfortably in the lightning cutout. As if it’s curved for your pleasure.

Any sort of padding on the inside? Maybe like the SS

 

[Derek87]

Yep.

Thanks so much for sharing these. Looks great.

Glad your seam isn’t sharp. Mine is better after filing it down.

Nope. For your viewing pleasure.

There’s no padding, it’s a very different case from the SS. This is almost like a barely there case just with some great grip. It’s very thin and YMMV on any kind of drop.
