I would go with Green lol, how much bulkier is the Symmetry case compared to the Apple leather case?

I picked up the clear symmetry and dont notice that it’s any bulkier.

In pics it’s hard to see, but it’s just barely bigger, not noticeable to me when using either. Bottom pic is the apple on top of the symmetry and it almost completely covers it up

The clear Symmetry is thicker than the solid color ones. The Symmetry is a little thicker/bulkier than the Apple leather but provides way better protection for your phone.

Thanks for that info, now I am stuck on which iPhone case to replace my Apple leather case with lol
 
I'd really like to know why some of the colors were discontinued that were available for the X...specifically the silicone ones. Did they do it just because they wanted to match the colors that are available for the XS Max? or did they do it because the cases are made slightly differently to possibly increase durability?
I want them to bring back Dark Olive! That colour looked amazing with matching sport band

Rhinoshield Solid Suit in carbon fiber with yellow buttons. The case feels nice, fits perfect, looks great but it's slippery as a greased pig. Love the different colored buttons. Wonder if the "Leather" version would have more grip? Also don't like that the bottom grill cutouts are from last years iPhone X.

That SolidSuit looks amazing! Unfortunately, the quality is/was bad. I have got two of them for my X (both carbon). Both started peeling and the fit of both got worse over time. I am very curious if the XS (Max) versions are better on the long run!

So clean. This is why I’m leaning towards the solid suit. The pitaka has more features but doesn’t look this nice in my opinion.

Yea, I love the case but it is a slippery little devil. I'm wondering if the leather back one would have more grip?

I just ordered or rented this will let you know if it’s nice or not. I had an Apple Watch case from this company I really liked

Easier to rent it from your local Target store.

The SolidSuit is slippery because of those smooth sides...don't think leather is gonna change grip very much from the 3M Di-Noc Carbon Fiber sticker. The added weight of the case also doesn't help in that regard. My SolidSuit also had it's rubber coating peel like Thomasss95's. I think it's one of the most overrated cases and most of their good rep comes from great marketing through YouTubers.

What starts peeling the sides or the back carbon fiber area?

Just a couple of the cases I own.

Love the apple branded cases, the spigen ultra hybrid, ringke onyx.

Hate the ESR Kiko cases and the VRS single fit cases. ($2 each on slick deals when they came out)

The rubber coating on the inside, especially around the lip. It's most likely abrasion from taking the case on and off the phone. I got rid of the SolidSuit once I saw it was peeling. The carbon fiber is also just a sticker, so it's not like the aramid fibers used by Pitaka or Evutec.
