I’ve dropped mine and there was no damage. Love the Apple leather cases.
Definitely the uag. The solid suit isn't very big, at least as far as a protective case goes.
Seriously? I had no idea, I use PayPal for everything. How does that work? I'll have to look into that, I wonder if it's too late for me to get the shipping back. Thanks for that info, finally got it set up.

My new sheath is at my local post office today for delivery. I do have to say I am greatly impressed at their customer service who sent me one no questions asked. Customer service like that is how you keep customers. Other companies can learn from that.
Finally headed home to get the XR and microfiber solid suit. Both are waiting for me in my desk. 3 hr flight and then a review!
Which one do you have? The Armor or the normal one? My normal one should be here today!
Happy Friday!
I love the Sheath.
Pros:
Super thin, grip, excellent customer service, buttons, design, no fingerprints, fit and minimal branding.
Cons:
Assumed lack of protection. Haven’t seen any tests. I can’t find anything else. It’s great!

You ever return your SlipperySuit
It’s been in my bag for days. Haven’t made it to UPS. Plan to go today lol

You must have “slipperysuit” copy and pasted and ready for a moments notice to use. It’s longer than typing out the regular name.
Sure thing. I think the only real difference between the two versions is the cut out. I currently have the original on my phone now, my only gripe ever about this case is the perceived lack of protection. I know what the company claims, but I definitely do not want to try it out
I will commit to 50 cents paypal if you do the testing and your phone breaks.
See if another 2200 members will also commit.
Ok, i see the slippery suit comparisons. Lol.
The microfiber back actually adds the grip, it’s def the sides that struggle in that category
I also see the hype around the buttons.

does anyone want to guess the level of protection? to me, it can't be worse than some of the cases [shown below] i've used with the exception of maybe a little bit less lip. (maybe 0.2-0.4mm less lip than the one shown below for the iPhone 7)... all of these phones suffered from a handful of drops in the couple of years i owned each phone/case. all falls were no greater than 4 ft.
my hope is that the Sheath offers similar protection to these cases below (3-4 ft drop) i'm guessing that the Sheath has to offer similar protection as my iPhone 5/6 cases, but maybe the Luvvitt shown below has a little more corner cushion...
i definitely feel as if the Sheath has more protection than the Apple Leather case, do you guys agree?
my old cases...
iphone 7 (Luvvitt Clear Grip) --- maybe a little better protection with raised corners? ... i really liked this case except that it left marks on the back of my black phone which i can't tell is due to some chemical reaction or tiny particles that marred the black finish (the matte black model). i am slightly tempted to get another one of these for the iPhone XS. the only problem is beyond the marks on the backside of my phone (probably wouldn't happen with glass, esp if i bought a $5 protector to put over the back glass) is that the back scratched up easily...but great grip and gave a nice look to the phone even if it did look scratched and beat up.
iPhone 6 (Insignia soft shell case) was bought as a placeholder from Best Buy: insignia case...just a thin shell that was fairly grippy, didn't show fingerprints, had reasonable buttons and a small lip.
iPhone 5: belkin sheer grip (horrible buttons but thin profile

that does look nice. i wonder how it will hold up in time (the microfiber). this is tempting me to consider the SlipperySuit. any good coupon codes?
still also thinking about the Symmetry and Mous Limited 2.0... the drop tests of the latter are very impressive, but i haven't heard too many reports about buttons. after having the Sheath and my previous Luvvitt case, i value tactile buttons that are close to replicating the naked button feel.

Sheath case is in and I like it. Bye Bye SlipperySuit. 
The Sheath fits perfect and feels absolutely fantastic in hand. The only downside is it offers little to no drop protection and it does not lay flat on it's back, rocks back and forth because of the camera hump.
Where is my Simply Carbon Fiber case at

good comparison. i'm guessing that one small benefit of the smaller cutout is it should make the bottom a little stiffer. that being said, i 'm pretty satisfied with how firmly the bottom is attached to the phone (to mitigate the chance of the case popping off in the event of a fall)
At this point....yes. This is likely my daily case going forward. Although, knowing my history, that will last two days
