Yes I find it much grippier than the phone in a good way

I have the first and the fourth. Great cases. Love the apple saddle brown leather case.
Sorry for the bad pics...on a road trip
Oh, and I have the iCarez 3D screen protector on, so that diminishes the “lip” around the screen.

Yes! This is my favorite case of all time, since they improved the texture last year for the X. It’s not sticky like an Apple silicone case or other TPU cases, but it has a rough-ish texture to it that provides positive grip without being sticky.
Is the icarez the full coverage version? And is there still enough lip so the phone can lay face down? No lifting of the screen protector?
Yep full coverage and no lifting with this case. You can still feel a slight lip; enough to lay the phone on its face IMO.
I received my case today: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GYVWSG9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I recommend it if you want to show off the beauty of the Xs max.

Just received my Mous Limitless 2.0 in leather for my XS Max. I should have opted for the carbon fiber, but the leather is good too. I had the Apple leather case when I received the phone, as I’ve used that case on many phones over the years and grew to like it. But on the Max, I found it wasn’t as comfortable to hold - and the lack of bottom protection bothered me a bit. I’m surprised by how comfortable the Mous case is. It’s kind of beveled on the back of the phone and rounded on the front, so gripping is easier. The lip on the bottom doesn’t bother me. The case also fits fine in my ProClip USB mount in the car - which can get tricky with cases that have bottom protection.
anccer Colorful Series for iPhone XS Max Case Ultra-Thin Anti-Drop Premium Material Slim Full Protection Cover for Apple iPhone XS Max 6.5 inch (Matte Gray) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GZDBJSV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_v6RQBbSRYMQ91
Got this one in matte gray but it looks more black than gray. Really like the grip feel. It has this "sand paper" texture, but not as sticky in the pocket as silicone cases can be.
It's a minimalistic case, so not much protection if dropped. There's barely any screen lip, should be ok for perfectly flat surface, but I never put my phone screen down. Due to its early availability there are some extra holes (bottom and bottom side). No branding.

This looks pretty ideal for me, do you have any single (even nitpicky) complaint about either product? Something that could be improved? I’ve never used a screen protector but I’m considering one this time around.

Just curious, how much did you pay for it? Was it before or after their $10 price increase?
Didn’t know there was an increase. I se the XS is $49 and the XS Max is $59 for the leather - which is what I paid. But, I’m returning it. After a few hours using it, the bottom port openings started leaving an irritating dent on my pinky where I support the bottom of the phone. Back to the Apple Leather case.
This case looks great! Mine should be here any day. Quick question for you, I like to take my cases off quite a bit, how easy is this one to put on & take off?
I have zero (even but-picky) complaints about the Caudabe Sheath. For a minimalist case with decent drop protection, in my opinion, it is the perfect case. When I got my X last year, I initially went with the Caudabe Veil XT (also a good case, with great grip, but only for scratch protection). I then decided to try the Sheath (original version with the weird camera cut-out design, but upgraded to the Classic version when it came out. So the only thing I cannot attest to is longevity. I have continuously used the Classic Sheath since May 25th and can only notice a very slight difference between the grip of it and the brand new Max Sheath, so I would say durability is top notch.
As for the iCarez, I have been pleased. Been using them on my X for several months. Will say that I had more problems applying it on the Max. Never any issues with bubbles on my X, but did on the Max.
I have had no problems doing so on my X. I try to take it off every couple of weeks to clean the phone and case; to remove any dust. I have not observed any stretching or anything. There is enough of a lip to make removal fairly easy.
Did you find it a bit difficult to get it on? I really have to force it in. I have The candy shell and also bought the presidio pro. I don’t like the texture on the presidio pro. I’m going to return that one.
In case this helps anyone:
I sent Spigen an email asking if the full cover screen protector, as included with the Ultra Hybrid 360, would be available to purchase separately. They said it won’t be for now, but that they have more glass protectors coming at some point in the future.
My question was for the Xr specifically, but I assume it’s true for all the new models.
