Please post a pic of that nectarine case when you get it? More orange or pink in reality?
It came in and I’m going to return it. The orange is more of a pastel orange than a bright orange which makes it seem almost pinkish.
I will say, that I’m having a hard time with the silicone right now. Is collecting dust from everywhere and having three pets in the house isn’t helping
Has anyone spotted any relatively sleek cases that have a hole that can support a wrist strap / lanyard, similar to this?:

But for the XS Max and available without importing to the UK. Thanks!

I am really liking my ultra thin case from Totallee. I got the matte black color. I can hardly tell that the case is even on the phone.
I doubt it provides much drop protection, but it makes the phone less slippery in my hand without it becoming a dust magnet. I also like that I can set my phone on hard surfaces without worrying about scratching.

Is it grippy or just a little less slick than naked? Soft case? Does it have a lip for the screen?
I bought two different cases.
This one because its not bulky and would deliver by launch: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GTCJLW1/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and this one because it's super cute:

I really like that one, but it seems like you can’t put it face down on a table because it doesn’t go over the screen.
I will chime in about my new case, the silicone apple blue horizon I think is the name. On all my last 4 iPhones I have ordered Amazon cases and end up within a month of owning the case going back to the Apple Silicone. The only think I don't like it the cutout at the bottom. I want more protection there. Oh whale.
The case this year feels more "slick" and not as grippy as other years. I'm not sure what has changed...
I also love the felt inside of the case, keeps the back scratch free usually which is nice.

I bought the ultra thin totallee in frosted black matte. The case is more slick than the phone would be naked. At least mine is. No lip, but I didn't expect there to be. Overall I'm not really a fan of it. I'm looking for something different. Probably going to go with an Apple Leather case.
Apple Leather cases have never failed me. I exchanged the Forrest green for the midnight blue and couldn’t be happier!
I got my Platinum D3O and Sena cases and really like them both. Cutout on both is big enough for the slightly bigger camera on the XS since they were made for the X. Got the Platinum on eBay for $7 instead of $30 from Best Buy and the Sena for $40 from Amazon (didn’t like how my Midnight Blue Apple Leather case wore on my 7). Still waiting on the knockoff ElementCase from eBay.

“To get all the attention from people around me”. You got issues bro
Wasn’t the shade of green I was expecting it to be. Plus, it looks like it would turn black in a couple of months of use. So I was between the black case or the midnight blue. I had used midnight blue for the 6 plus and it never faded nor did it turn black, so went for that one.
It’s definitely not grippy. But it’s not slick either. It slides in and out of my pocket about like my leather case, but it’s super thin.
It feels better in my hand with the case on than with it off.
First impressions of the speck are very good. Feels sturdy like it can definitely take a serious drop. It doesn’t feel too bulky though. The soft touch coating doesn’t a good job balancing between being grippy and slick. So I have a good handle on the phone but it doesn’t stick to my pockets. The buttons are very responsive just like speck always has. I’m very impressed so far!
Which speck? I had the presidio grip for my X. Nice case definitely felt protective. A little gripoy in the pockets depending on what type of pants I had in but not that bad. Great case
I bought the Apple leather case today, blue. It is a tad slippery. Might need to be worn in a little.
Once you use it for a month or two it'll have a lot more grip.
I carry my iPhone on my belt. Ordered the Zizo Bolt series case for my XSMax as it is quite similar to the one I had for my 7+. Ordered from Amazon
