Have you ever dropped it while using this case? I really like the Evutec case, but they never say how many feet the drop protection is...
Got a tip for us?

Only once at home ...60 cm to laminate flooring ...so does not count and no damage
Honestly, I usually take all manufacturers' marketing claims that state how many feet the drop protection is with a grain of salt. But if you really want to believe their claims, I believe Evutec rates all their cases as exceeding MIL-STD-810 standard with 4 Feet survival height with at test of 26 drops. Here is the page I found that on, it's the third button down:

On reddit or here when talking about their excitement about the Aer for the XS Max, someone posted how their Evutec Aer last year flew out of their hands and down some stone steps, only to find both iPhone X and case undamaged.

Another one bites the dust. It’s a shame since it’s a really case.
Can someone compare the grip and the thickness of the Bodyguardz case with the Sheath? Is the grip about the same?
I've already returned a million things to Amazon so I'm just going to sell this one.
I loved the case for about 30 minutes and put it back in it's box.
Here’s the model I have landing Monday will be curious and can report back how it looks and feels https://carbonfibergear.com/products/iphone-xs-max-aer-karbon-case-with-vent-mount
Apparently it’s just being released. I hadn’t heard of the company before I randomly saw it in my FB feed and had a coupon so it was 40 bucks
Here’s the other cases I’m renting/ testing the at the moment for my XS Max
1) UAG Monarch carbon fiber back $50.00
2) Caseology Waterfall Clear case $5.00
3) Apple leather case Cape Cod $40.00
4) Element Case Illusion black $30.00
Landing early next week:
5) Caudabe Lucid Clear $23.36
6) Evutec AER Case $40.00
My favorites thus far are the UAG + Apple + Element until the others arrive
I have the BB brand Body Guard Tempered glass screen protector I also like $20.00 as anything happens to it you can walk into BB and get instant replacement for free
@juiceman + @Hooterville made me do it lol these people are serious about cases so I’m doing a tour and will return a few potentially
The Symmetry may not be perfect but it’s a damn fine case. I want a black one also. 
Still going with the spigen slim armor. I haven’t found any deal breakers yet. Pleasantly surprised.
Rhinoshield slippery suit is out for delivery.

I'm returning my Pitika also. Can't live with the finger smudges on the case.I've already returned a million things to Amazon so I'm just going to sell this one.

Same here. If I can't sell it I'll just send it back to Amazon.
Does the Evutec have the same fingerprint/smudge problem?
Glad this year I’m not the one to blame
Which Evutec did you order? Wood or the Karbon? Really like my Karbon... its a great value for money. Not sure about how well under serious drop it would hold up but most don’t need 15 ft of drop protection anyways.
Can't live with the fingerprint/smudge problem the back has. I have the cleanest hands in America, No cheeseburger or fried chicken hands here.
Same over this side of the pond! I have the cleanest hands in England!
lol, I’ve never liked the carbon fiber look, reminds me too much of souped up 1980’s Honda Civic dashboards.
Question about the Evutec, it’s so thin the camera juts out? When you put it down does it wobble?
I’m trying to convince myself not to place another order from Amazon. It’s a tossup between the leather solid suit or the defense ultra by X Doria
Better wait for Juiceman's Slippery Suit review.
Well well well. What do we have here. A Rhinoshield Solid Suit. Amazon came early. This is the best fitting and feeling case I’ve used so far. Fits like a glove. Not hard to get on. And I really don’t have trouble taking it off either. I started from the bottom corners and it popped right out.
Best buttons of any case hands down. I love that. It just feels good in the hand (shout out to flossy again).
Also. I am no longer calling it the slippery suit because between the textured sides and the soft touch back I honestly don’t find this case slippery at all. Maybe I have dry hands? Not sure but this grip is perfectly fine with me.
The main reason for getting a case is protection. And if the drop tests are not rigged then this case is an absolute tank. I feel safe handing it to my daughter. 11ft drop protection gives great peace of mind.
Now if anyone wants a stylish case this plain black one is not it. But I like keeping things simple. Unless I find some glaring issue with it this is THE case for me. I’ll probably end up getting some red buttons because....Go Dawgs. Anyway now I’m just rambling. Loving the case so far!
