Try the Caseology Vault. 1mm thicker on the back than the Sheath, but much more grippy.

Since they removed the microfiber interior from the Magcase Pro, is it the Aramid like previous Evutecs? Or is it TPU?
I didnt find the vault grippier at all. Outside of the Presidio Grip, I found the Sheath the grippiest case by far
I'll compare it to the SlipperySuit Friday when it shows up. The SS is one fine fitting case and I like it.
You get the carbon?

It’s actually a very hard plastic inside. Just like the symmetry

I think we should talk to Rhinoshield and tell them to rename it the slippery suit lol.
No I got the plain black which is supposed to be more grippy.
Now that I wasted $50. on the Pitaka Pro everyone is returning them. 
At least I'll get to try one out on Friday.

It’s not wasted. You might love it. It’s really a great case. Just the flat sides are not for me.
I found the TPU on the Caseology Vault to much more "stickier" than the Caudabe. Almost like the Caudabe, while pebbled, has a sheen or polished feeling on the TPU, making it feel more premium, but still grippy. The Caseology Vault reminds me of Sheath, but with the Silk Base/Kung-Fu Grip texture, but "stickier", not as sticky as the Apple Silicone though.
Please don't make me order the Bodyguardz.
Love their glass protectors, using the Pure 2 Edge now.
It’s actually much nicer than I thought and reminiscent in fit to rhinoshield.Please don't make me order the Bodyguardz.

Yes and no. The BG is grippy in the sides.....which is where it matters most imo.
Wait until they go on sale.... and then combine with their return customer discount..Please don't make me order the Bodyguardz.
definitely sign up for the website. There was a discount and feee shipping. Ordered on a thursday and received monday
Yea, already have their return customer discount. Might order one just for fun.

Can you post some real pictures of this Bodyguardz case?
Not yet! It looks pretty simple and protective and grippy. I haven’t read all the new messages today. Are the buttons good?
Think I'm going to order the leather SlipperySuit, have buttons that need homes.

I think you’ve found the one! You must really like it if you are ordering number 2. I’m excited to try it Saturday. Hopefully I’m not let down like the pitaka.
If I remember when I get home...sure

yes, and fits eerily similar to the SolidSuit, which is a must for me
I'll never find "The One" as I'm a case junkie that needs an intervention bad.
The SlipperySuit is a fine case except for it's slipperiness. The buttons are some of the best you will find on any case, it's slim and fits the phone like a glove. I don't see this case becoming loose if you used it for the next 10 years. It's tight and right. Also it's hard plastic, nothing soft about it including the interior which I wish were a softer rubber.
All in all I like it.
Always liked the Solid Suits I had before. No major complaints other than definitely not very grippy.
To the people buying a SolidSuit (like THE JUICEMAM
- Peeling
- Fit getting loose over time
- Carbon fibre is fake, just a sticker
As I said many times, try the Nomad Rugged! It has the same positives, but with excellent quality. The new 33% thinner version of the Rugged should be perfect. I am using the old version for 9 months now and will never buy another brand.
As a multiple case solidsuit/playproof user I have to say I've never experienced the fit issues. Also the newest xs cases do use real carbon fiber (the older versions used a carbon look-alike) I think for the price they are one of the best cases out there.
The older versions did have peeling but the new material the xs versions are made from seem solid and I don't see any way they will peel but I guess only time will tell.
