I got the spigen liquid crystal case, I was going to return it because of the holes that are cut are incorrect, but needed some protection temporary. I had it on my note 8 and 7 plus and liked it a lot. The ultra thin case from spigen was too thin and was easily ripped. I probably check on amazon next week to see if they have any new cases that the holes are cut correctly with the phone, and return this spigen case that currently using.
 
Well, I decided to send my Catalyst back. It's very nice but I just don't trust it protecting if I drop it on it's back. It's rated to 10ft but only for a corner drop and like I said, the camera is almost flush with the back of the case. Even the Caudabe sheath has a deeper camera cutout.

I ordered an Evolutive Solid Suit and also a Caseology Legion. I just couldn't bring myself to pay $60 for the Mous.

FYI mous answered me, I asked them why their case price increased by $10 in 1 week. They claim it's because there was an increased demand and they needed to hire more people...ok. I'll probably buy one again if the price comes back down at some point, it's a solid case. Just not $60 solid.

Right now using my Sheath, it's very nice. So currently waiting for Solid Suit, Legion, and Sena Dean leather.

The legion is better than expected. I have defaulted back to my presidio grip, but the legion is #2 for me.

The Sheath's buttons are very good. Not the absolute best I've used but much better than many.

Thank-U.

I've tried at least 6 times to reach Caudabe by phone for several days, they never answer the phone, just get--> leave a message and they will call...No Callbacks!!! I've emailed them...No Reply!!! I've instagramed them...No response!!!

They may have what I want but they may not get what they want from me!!!
 
My usual go-to case, the Midnight Blue Silicone from Apple, is okay... but does make the phone look pretty bulky and heavier!

I have AppleCare+ this time round (on iUP) and I'm considering going careless... unless anyone here can find me a thin case that has good grip! The silicone case oozes grip due to the material, though the steel & glass of the narked phone is also pretty grippy, if a little weird feeling. I tried a couple of thin cases and they just slid right out of my hands, I don't trust them at all. Is there anything with the superior friction of the Apple case but in a thinner design?

Try the Caudabe Veil XT. Grip is the best I’ve seen/use on an uber-thin case.

Getting the UAG Pathfinder in camouflage (just become available). Have it on the S9+. I love the look, feel and level of protection.

Wasn’t a fan of the Otterbox Traction. Allows dust inside the case.
 
Does anyone have the nomad rugged case and can compare it with the Apple leather case?

They say it’s 33% thinner this year and I’d like to see how it compares with the Apple leather case.

Thanks.

I love my Sheath!! I really liked it on my X and I’m enjoying it equally on my Max. I like the Mous as well - I got it for my wife cuz she drops her phone all the time. Ironically she switched to what was supposed to be a temp $1 Caseology case cuz she liked the color. The Mous arrived pretty quickly.

Thank-U.

Ordered the Unicorn Beetle Supcase have one for my SE and its worked well, I'll take out the stock screen protector from the case and I have a glass one coming with the phone

Does anyone know a case that has a built in screen protector like the older otterbox defender? The new ones are screenless.


Unicorn Supcase Beetle, thou i usually remove them and replace with a glass protector

 Leather Case Taupe is the best case for gold iPhone Xs Max, hands down. Even better if you rock it with matching color wallpaper
 
Gone again for the ringke onyx. https://amzn.to/2NaRSsX in black.

I always start off keen for a clear case, but then revert to something more understated. Especially when phone is often on my work desk

One downside for me on the officia leather cases, is that the bottom ports are so exposed
