I can’t remember who posted it but that new Nomad carbon fiber is still calling my name. And they just sent me a coupon because I’ve had it in my cart so long lol. I’m going to try to resist.
Guilty, it was me! How much % off is the code?

I am also trying to resist the Carbon case, but having owned two Nomad cases so far it's hard, because the quality is so good!

I’m in the Apple store. This otterbox traction case is really nice but the colors are super ugly!

It’s 10%. My one concern was the buttons but you said they were good now so I might do it. Lol

I totally agree on the traction. I was at my Apple store yesterday and while not a fan of clear cases, I could have been convinced if there wasn’t a “splash” of color. Ugly imo

My only deal breaker are the shipping costs to Europe, which are about $15. That's about half the case's price (with 10% off).

The buttons on mine are good indeed and I remember another user saying the buttons on his Rugged for XS Max are good too. I will try to find his post and quote it.

EDIT: Found the comment in the X case thread...

Been using the rugged case on my xs max and the buttons are much easier to press than the old versions of this case.

Please let me know how you like it and please post a few pictures! I would have bought it without thinking if I lived in the USA, but returning it is expensive for me. So if I don't like it, I have spend quite some money (for a student) on something I don't use. I guess I will wait until a YouTube review is posted... Maybe if you like it a lot, I can't resist it! ;)

I’ll be sure to update you. It won’t ship until Oct 20th since this is a pre order.

I've been very impressed with Apple's white silicone case after a couple of weeks. The black leather case has been my default for years, so I just wanted something different this time around.

It's been easy to clean and feels great in-hand. We'll see how well it holds up over time, but so far so good!

Currently my favorite case too. In black. It really does feel great. FYI if it wears poorly, like it peels or flakes or cracks Apple will replace it under the year warranty.
 
anyone using Spigen Tough Armor? is it heavy?...dont wanna make my xs max heavier than it already is....how's the side grip?
 
I’ve got the thin one, phone almost feels caseless although only covers the sides leaving the top and bottom exposed, no lip on the screen either although the feel of the case in the hand far outweighs those slight drawbacks.

It’s the first case bar the apple leather ones I’ve felt really compliments such an expensive phone.

Not handled the more protective one so cannot comment on it.
What's the Pitika like to take off the phone? I remember it being a bit tight to remove from my X.

It’s very tight, the fit isn’t exactly right as it’s slightly off at the top sides, I contacted Pitaka support who are sending another one out, they really do have excellent support.

They are out of stock on site at the mo although got mine from amazon UK.

When I get replacement I’ll let you know how it is.

I need your advice guys.
I really like the softness and the grip of the Apple silicone case, but I really don’t like the bottom exposed.
It’s not about its cost, if you know some model please feel free to mention it.
Thank you all!

Thanks. I’m in the UK and have one in my Amazon basket. Just trying to decide whether to buy or not.
 
Thanks Kristin. I’ve already watched your video. You do excellent case reviews. :)

Mobile reviews Eh said the NX has more texture but maybe he was comparing to last years Solid suit and not this years?
Thanks so much:) It is possible that Aaron at Mobile Reviews Eh was comparing the new Mod NX to the old SolidSuit, or we may have gotten review samples from different batches. But the two new SolidSuit cases for the Xs Max that I got (more are coming later this month in some of the other finishes) are definitely a bit grippier than the three Mod NX samples for the Xs Max they sent me. Both are definitely better and more textured than the previous year's versions, however.

Well it’s easy hassle free returns so may as well. See if yours fits better than mine.
Yeah, will do. Have ordered. I got a £15 discount as I ordered a Philips Hue light yesterday for delivery today that didn't turn up. Rang Amazon to complain as it now said Wednesday. They said they'd reschedule delivery for tomorrow and gave me a £15 credit! Amazon has great customer service if you can be bothered using it. I think most people don't bother but as a Prime member I always give them a call if I don't get the stated delivery date. Makes the Pitika case £29.

I have amazon prime and never complain, may have to start lol, got mine for £40 as they were doing an offer if you top up your account £40 you get £45. Let us know how the case fits, as I’m sure you’ll get yours sooner than I get my replacement!
