The regular black Symmetry has some texture to it, Vader looks like it doesn’t. It is slippery?

I’d say midget Vader is a 5 out of 10 on the slick scale.. an example of a 10 would be Caudabe Lucid Clear and an 8 would be Caseology Waterfall Clear Case and I don’t think it’s slipperyier then the Apple Leather Case due to the sides

Anyone have the Nomad Rugged for the XS Max? How are the buttons/what kind of screen lip (or lack of) are we taking about. I canceled my order, but I just packed my SS to head back to amazon, and now I’m wondering if it’s worth a try.

I have the old thinker version of the Rugged for iPhone X. The buttons are great and the lip is good (even with a glass screen protector). The only downside is the thickness...

After reading/watching some reviews of the new thinner version, it seems like the lip decreased a lot to be minimal and the buttons got a bit worse. I think Hooterville just ordered one, so he can maybe post a small review when he gets it. ;)

I had one and returned it. It’s a nice case, the buttons are decent but not as good as the solidsuit and there’s less lip than the solidsuit but better grip. I still have and usually use the solidsuit.

I ended up buying the mini Vader and a switcheasy glass case, couldn’t resist the Black Friday sales.
 
I think I know what’s going to end up happening. I’m going to get annoyed with the shiny Vader logo and buy a regular symmetry then switch out the buttons.

Been there, done that. :rolleyes: That's my perfect case the regular black Symmetry case with the red Vader buttons.
Don't care about Star Wars or Darth Vader, just the red buttons.

Put the yellow buttons in my black Symmetry and the combo was not that great looking. :oops:

Now I’m gonna have to buy two symmetry cases. At least I’ll get them on sale lol. I hope the sale is still going on....
 
Damn it....Best Buy deals. Ended up with th OtterBox pursuit. Pleasantly surprised. Mobilereviewseh was right about it. Nice case.

What happened to your defender? Another return?

Best Buy and Nomad are dragging their @ss shipping out my cases. :mad:

I like it too, but can’t use a full screen protector with it. Her review was spot on.
It is far better than I thought. The fit is exceptional, although it takes forever to put together. And it works with my screen protector. I’m greatly impressed, and this is by far the best OtterBox I’ve seen for my phone.

Which screen protector are you using?
 
Anyone have any insight on the Tech 21 evo for the XS max? Thinking about it for sale at BB for $20 but not sure yet. TIA

Wearing that today actually. Specific questions? Kind of slick, fits a lot tighter than previous years, out of box the buttons are SUPER stiff. Not a bad case by any means but nothing extraordinary. Not terribly grippy but phone feels safe in it. I like material it’s made from.

Received the “updated” sheath for the XS today. It doesn’t have the right cutouts for the mic holes. Also received a blue sheath and it doesn’t either which I was aware wouldn’t. Still a bummer the black updated version doesn’t, hopefully it was just a mistake and they sent the wrong one.

That’s disappointing. They were supposed to get new ones. Mine doesn’t arrive until wed. Hopefully yours is just a mistake that can be corrected.
