Which case will you be getting for your new XS/XS Max? [MERGED]

My XS Max Gold is gorgeous as it is, and any case ruins it.
I got one clear silicone case, but I do not like how it looks and feels, my Max feels so bulky and uncomfortable to hold with any case. I am rocking it caseless most of the time.
The only must is a screen protector. Somehow, these screens develop hairline scratches (barely visible) no matter how much are you careful with it.

Hey, I checked the tracking and it says the case it out for delivery. I'm looking forward to your thoughts/review of the case.
Speck and Belkin were the only ones taking it to extremes.
Those Speck cases were so awkward looking, they had to create a FAQ about them.
Yea the car mount is a bit awkward. Huge and non-adjustable. Better than nothing I guess. It works well enough with a Spigen? magnetic car mount I have in my wife’s car, which is adjustable.
Based on all the talk recently I went ahead and also ordered the Sheath for my XS Max. Figured I would give it a try. Mine should be here tomorrow.
Just got the Otterbox Figura from Apple. Very similar to the Sheath. Very nice case, good fit and grip and solid protection.
I suppose. It’s quite textured and offers increased grip. Gotta day, although expensive $40, it’s much better than I thought it would be. Similar size to the sheath, appropriate cutout, and excellent grip
Slightly more than the sheath. I would say similar to the Ringke Onyx
Trying to determine whether I like the design on back and the price. But intriguing, since you compared it to the Sheath.
Thanks for your take!

I did purchase their clear Vue, but I like this far better. Vue will be going back for sure.
LOL. Caudabe should give MacRumors members a special discount just due to all the referrals. My Sheath should arrive by Saturday but I’m hoping for Friday.
Definitely stiffer than the Vue and the Symmetry. Which is something I like personally. The other buttons are too easily hit imo.
I got two cases for my Gold XS Max - the clear Spigen Ultra Hybrid and the Fine Port Otterbox Symmetry. I don't for the Spigen - it smudges readily and just looks too "plasticy". Plus, I don't think it would do well if dropped onto a hard surface. I like the Otterbox though it is bulkier. It looks good and feels good. I also got the clip holster for the Otterbox - not for wearing on my belt but for handy extra protection when I want to toss the phone into a bag/backpack.
So I got my Sheath case about an hour ago and mine just so happens to have an irregular shaped camera bump cutout causing the phone to rock back and forth very easily. I could deal with a little motion like Technically Tee's review but mine was more like other Youtuber who did the review on it and it is very annoying. I very well could have just got a bad unit but will be returning mine. Overall though it is a nice case. Very thin, feels great in hand w/ good grip but having a case that rocks like mine does is a deal breaker for me. Hopefully those who ordered have better luck.
Contact them, because they will make it right and send you another. Both the cases I have are fine around the camera hump, but I’ve seen that irregularity you mentioned before.
It would be different if I could just walk into a store I would surely swap it out. I may give it one more attempt but not really in the mood to be playing the case lottery game mailing back and forth knowing this is a known issue.
