I am surprised not more people love the Nomad Rugged. Maybe the old version I use is better than the new one...
 
Can't decide if I like these yellow buttons in my plain black Symmetry or not :confused:

What do you think?

Any of you guys with Sheath tried this Spigen? Seems to be about the same in minimality...

Spigen Liquid Air Armor Designed... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GTCS2BJ?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I posted about it here: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-xs-max-merged.2137318/page-116#post-26778900
Basically, it's a decent case. It feels as wide as the Apple leather case (the Sheath is thinner). The cut out for the camera is perfect. The sides of the case feel great. There are slits around each of the buttons for some reason; the Liquid Crystal has the slits, too (none of the ones I used for my previous iPhones had the slits, so I don't know why Spigen started doing this). The button feedback is amazing, though, and I don't know if it's because of these slits. The lip is high enough that my finger snagged on them whenever I swiped (as you can see from the other cases on my list, I'm used to either no lip at the bottom or cases that have lips pretty much flush with the screen, so I couldn't get adjusted to suddenly having a lip). If I had to rank it on the list of cases I own, it would be:
1. Pitaka MagCase
2. Caudabe Sheath
3. Spigen Liquid Air Armor
4. Apple Leather
5. Totallee Leather Case
6. Spigen Neo Hybrid

Thanks a lot for this! Seems like I am stuck with my ‘old’ Nomad Rugged then... The new Rugged has worse buttons, the SolidSuit still seems to peel (like the two I had for my X), and the quality of the Mous is not as good as I expected for the price after reading the opinions here...

Anyone here who got the Mous Limitless 2.0? If so, how is the quality on yours?

Could you post some pictures? How are the buttons and thickness compared to other cases?

The mous 2.0 I tried was in no way any better than the solidsuit and IMO worse in a few ways. Buttons worse, swiping up worse, and overall looked bulkier.

I still have not removed my Sheath.

It survived the beer festival, rather, I managed not to drop it. Which is a miracle considering the amount of beer I drank.

However, the following day it was tested. It fell out of my gym shorts pocket (which have been a bane of cell phone safety for me) from a Ford Explorer Sport onto the concrete, which I imagine was a 3-4 foot fall. The case had no evidence of scrapes or damage. Just some dirt that wiped off. The phone survived with only the tiniest crack in the screen protector on the lower left corner despite a loud thud.

I was very impressed and I’m certain the veil xt would not have fared as well.

But I’ve enjoyed the grip of the sheath so much that I’ve not even thought about putting the veil back on, even though I figured it would be my daily driver.

Was it a face down drop? That's the first actual "drop test" I've read for the Sheath.

Nice, one of my favorite cases. I also love that the slate & carmine have the blacked out lettering on the back.

You might need to try the blacked out Monarch, also a fantastic case.
[doublepost=1542214456][/doublepost]I also want this:

In your opinion is the Monarch worth the extra price over the standard UAG? Is it much bulkier? I haven't had a UAG since my Nexus 6 but I'm seriously thinking about getting one now.

Something else that I’ve noticed is that the edges of the solid suit are further away from the edges of the screen. Top and bottom too. This allows for easier swipes.

I don't know what they did differently from other cases but I've noticed that as well. Much easier swiping than a few other cases I've tried, especially compared to the Mous.

I think the Carbon Monarch is lighter then the plastic version FYI
 
Anyone using Rhinoshield Lense and Solidsuit for XS.

Im thinking of getting a couple. Are they of good quality?

Plus will it be ok if i leave lense adaptor attahced. Does it effect using iphone camera when not using lenses.

Thanks

My coworker ordered a lens (I think it's the wide/macro combo) with her brushed steel SolidSuit along with some buttons. It's had the same "shipping label created" message since November 12. I think something isn't right. Does RhinoShield normally take this long to ship?

I think their website said they’re still on pre order for the lenses for the max?
