eBayer is located in Hong Kong and has a 96 percent rating which isn’t too good. It’s fake. I’ve gotten from same vendor for my X for colbalt blue and it’s easily fake. So slippery but looks real

Last year I bought an Apple leather case from Apple, and a Apple leather case off of ebay for half the price. Literally no difference in quality. Apple silicone and Apple Leather case are nothing more than $1 cases. Vastly overpriced for the amount it costs to make. That's why knockoffs are just as good. Costs very little to make Apple or knockoff cases. Charging $40 for a silicone or $50 for a leather case, that costs at most $1 to make is the real crime.

Not anymore. Hasn’t been true since 7 and 7 plus era. They changed the way they make the leather going back to last year with the X. I hate the leather now.

Well I have a gray leather case for my 8+ since launch last year and it is grippy enough for me, but it is a very a very personal thing. Mostly I got it because the silicone case was annoying to get in and out of my pocket and leather is much easier. I am also impressed of how well it has worn throughout the year.

If that’s what you want to do then do it. I bought an eBay silicone and felt cheap and very slippery and had no grip. If you pay so much for and iPhone 40 bucks

I’m just going off you saying it’s not a Apple fake case when it isn’t made by Apple and the quality is much different. The sides have a crease in them and it’s slippery then real silicone Apple uses. But whatever saves you money and makes you happy is the only thing that matters

Anyone have a code for the caudabe cases? Used the clear thin one for my x lady year and I remember getting a code from the forums.
 
I would like to use a clear case, but the ones I have tried in the past show fingerprints, and I hate that. Are
their any that don’t show fingerprints.

I didn’t realize they were out already - they were saying Friday all this time. Unless it’s already Friday where they’re at. Anyway, when I went to the website it offered me a 10% coupon for signing up for their newsletter.
 
Just picked up my new case at the Apple Store today. I’ve become a big fan of the Otterbox Symmetry series, however the Otterbox Statement caught my eye. Mirror image of the symmetry but a clear back and a leather grip piece. Not too shabby and it’s an Otterbox so max protection. What case did y’all get??

My favorite case. Have used it on my 7+ and x. Ordered this for my XS Max. Hope the black looks nice with my gold max
 
I want to get the Apple leather case but I did just receive some RhinoShield SolidSuit and Mod X cases.
