For $h1t$ and giggles, I decided to try out the Pitaka Magcase Pro to compare to the Evutec Aer Carbon. I'm still not a fan of the look of the Magcase Pro, but I really like the lowered lips on the sides and bottom. I'm not using a screen protector this time, so the lower sides and bottom are wonderful and flush with the screen. If you use a screen protector, forget it. The sharp edges aren't that comfy, but it does improve the grip(maybe psychologically, as you will feel if the phone is going to slip). Compared to the Aer, it's heavier by far. The Aer makes the XS Max feel pretty light. The Magcase Pro is solid and feels like it's part of the phone when on. I'm not getting the fingerprint issues on either case. The Evutec is a simple classy looking case with it's clean lines and seamless transition from aramid to TPU. The Magcase Pro is a solid rugged case with the lower lips being the best part I think. However it reminds me of a fixed up Honda Civic with a spoiler on top of a spoiler and overdone body kit with flared out fenders...yeah, I basically think it's kinda tacky looking.

I’m really digging the Evutec feels great and nice design. Thanks for posting your review
 
No d brand grip desire?

I know the new ones not out yet but the idea of a skin with a grippy side and safety is pretty cool to me.
 
RIP classic black with red buttons. Until my buttons get here of course.

I'm keeping the red buttons.
Hope AE14 is OK with the stock black buttons. Didn't even think about that.

We live about 30 minutes outside of Gainesville so I guess I should be a Go Gators fan.

Please don’t. Lol
 
I decided to wait until Black Friday and then either buy the new Nomad Rugged or SolidSuit for XS. Spending a lot of money on cases while being a student is just not the right thing to do...
 
Does anyone know if there’s going to be an updated version of the Caudabe Synthesis with correct speaker cutouts?
 
This solid suit classic black stays so clean. I never feel the need to wipe it down for smudges or fingerprints. I still do it anyway but that’s not because it looks bad.
