Synthesis word on Facebook for XS Max is another 2 or 3 weeks before they’re shipping keep in mind that’s on top of the already 8 weeks lead time
They told me 2-3 weeks about 2 months ago.

yeah, that's what i have heard...i guess they had some problems in the first batch they received have defects/being unacceptable to them.
i have an XS so those are in stock (i think they are for the XR too).
i'll provide a review when i get mine. (probably in a week based on past experience)

Something must be F’d up on thier production run as in years of owning the Synthesis I’ve never seen delays like this especially missing the holidays rush season yikes
Feeling lucky as I just don’t have the inverted pocket problem most seem to have. I don’t wear baggy jeans but don’t have skinny ones either. The case works great for me so far. More so than the solidsuit even though I feel the SS is better drop protected and looks better than the grip.
I do fear that the dbrand grip will invert pockets but anxious to try it.
Damn. That’s what I’m waiting onSynthesis word on Facebook for XS Max is another 2 or 3 weeks before they’re shipping keep in mind that’s on top of the already 8 weeks lead time

I agree. I’m not a fan of the look of the grip, but it handles better than any case for a big phone
i don't quite get the fully inverted pocket, but it definitely pulls at the pocket lining when i take it out, and it's harder to quickly slide in when i'm on the go.
overall, a solid case that will serve its purpose well when i'm out backpacking and fishing. i think the grippers will be very useful when i have wet hands. i can only imagine what the SS protection must be like if its greater than the Speck's. this is more than enough for my drop scenarios (for the record, for all of my prior phones, they have thankfully survived drops in much less cushioned cases...(all drops being 4-5ft or less)
I also have to say, I’m surprised how much the wrong sized speaker cut out bother me. So far only Caudabe and Otterbox seem to have it right.
Otterbox Symmetry for XS still have the symmetric cutouts...not sure if its different for any other OB model. Caudabe is the only one thus far that i've seen that have given XS particular attention. you Max owners are fortunate the XS Max is an entirely new design/size.
For the max I have only seen Caudabe and OB. I’m surprised how much it actually bothers me. But yet, it does
Can anyone that purchased the Caudabe Sheath in the Blue or Green color for the Max confirm that the latest batch have the correct asymmetrical cutouts on the bottom?
It’s funny because it’s the opposite for me. The asymmetrical cases look odd to me. Maybe because I rarely look at the bottom of the phone itself, but I can see the case cutouts from various angles.
I actually really like the plyo cases but they are so prone to scratches.
Not bad for a $15 case. Symmetrical cutouts on bottom, buttons OK. Doesn’t feel like a “10 footer” to me but overall feels super solid in hand. Definitely paid more for something I liked LESS.
Which color? I had the ash color for the X. And the scratches and finger prints were awful
I got my Otterbox today and I love it BUT I just remembered how quickly my edges yellowed even after they replaced it. So I’m returning both the Speck and Otterbox and I re-ordered the Speck and another Speck case at 50% off and then used the code in here for another 20% off So I paid $4 more for two Specks than the Otterbox! Score!

Evutec is correct also. But it really doesn’t bother me at all. I never even swapped my Sheath for that. I actually like the symmetrical look if I had to be picky.
