Picked up a black Otterbox Pursuit. Spent time in Best Buy today comparing it to the Defender Pro. I went there thinking I’d buy the Pro but it was just too much TPU and a lint magnet. Pursuit has a slippery back but nice, grippy sides. I like the forward facing speaker grills too.

Bellroy caramel leather case for XS Max. Grippier than the Apple leather case that I have.

Alright, I won’t be getting a SolidSuit again... RhinoShield still uses the same material for the X verion (I have an X). Only the XS is improved. See e-mail below.

In my opinion, this is the best looking case out there! Covers the bottom, good buttons (since it doesn’t cover them), nice leather, and great quality (on pictures at least).

But, there is a but, it doesn’t offer much drop protection I think. Such a shame, but acceptable if you see how slim it is.

Doesn't the XS case fit fine on the X ?

Strong desire to pull my pitaka out of the box....I think I have a problem.

Sold mine and shipped it out already.
 
I have two cases landing today I’ll post pictures and reviews of once they land.
1) Ringke Dual X
2) iPhone XS Max AER Aramid Fiber Case with Vent Mount

And Tuesday or Wednesday
3) Caudabe Lucid Clear

I ended up putting a pop socket on my Element Illusion case for traveling and it’s working well. It’s ok to make fun of my about the pop socket I to thought it was a silly invention until I started using it on the run dragging suit cases around an airport and riding trains etc. works nicely in a pinch lol
[doublepost=1540214876][/doublepost]@Hooterville and @THE JUICEMAN are you both done with your case conquest? Or are there new targets in your sight still to be had?

the conquest is killing me...I keep going to look at the leather solid suit or the carbon fibre solid suit. I just keep getting pushed back by the buttons.

I was done until this morning lol. Now I’m deciding between the solid suit and the pitaka mag case pro.

It’s an addicting adventure! My wife’s been making fun of me stating how detailed and determined we’ve becoming reviewers of so many cases in a short period of time o_O;) from buttons to slipperyness lol

The leather Slippery Suit is in my Amazon cart and ready to go. Still holding off though.

Correct, but the camera cut-out isn’t perfect, and I like things perfect...

Just give the Nomad Rugged a try if you want brown or black leather.

I wonder when Nomad reaches out to me to send me a free case (or a pay check)... ;)
