No clue as it’s been sold out for over a month and no change in site on availability. Maybe you get lucky here and find someone who snagged one before they were out. That was my original target but I can’t find one any where
Last years Monarch for the X was the worst. The bottom was so saggy, worst than an 80 year old womans boobs.
This years Monarch & Pathfinder are fine. Not saggy but still soft rubber.
That’s good to hear. Glad they made an improvement.Last years Monarch for the X was the worst. The bottom was so saggy, worst than an 80 year old womans boobs.

Be warned; it’ll cost you your house lol. It escalates quickly.
Stop being so positive about that case, you make me spend money!
Lol! *shrugs*

Haha good thing about YouTube is I have a working relationship with most of these brands. Some just don’t communicate well lol.
[doublepost=1540392155][/doublepost]Getting the new finishes of the SolidSuit for the Xs Max any day now so should make for a cool video. I know of the wood one but haven’t checked out the others.
What is your favorite Max case so far?
Have you tested the new verion of the Nomad Rugged yet? I would love to hear your opinion on it, especially compared to the SolidSuit!
Man it’s some good ones but I have to stay true to the SolidSuit. The subtle grip they added on the sides is what really won me over and feel that was the only weak point for the SolidSuit. So that’s my daily right now, classic black SolidSuit. I have the MagPro coming from Pitaka and that’s what moved me away from the SolidSuit for the X so we will see.

I haven’t yet. I usually get some nomad cases sent to me but they said they were limited with stock so I don’t think they give them to smaller creators like myself around that time. I’m going to try to reach out again and give a check up.
Today i got Caudabe Sheath delivered. My first impressions are positive. Good looking minimal case, with a good finish and a nice grip for my taste. Hope i won't have to test how good can protect XS Max after an accident. Also compatible with ZAGG Tempered Glass Curve. Now i am kinda patient for the next case, thinking of Nomad Rugged in brown leather or Rhinoshield Solidsuit. What do you reckon?
Ok, confession time....the leather solid suit is really winning me over. The grip is sufficient and the feel of the leather is very nice.
Surprisingly pleased

Man I was going back and forth about the leather and the classic black so hard. I still flip flop between the two. The carbon was an instant no because it was a little too slippery.
Please, I don't want to buy another SlipperySuit.
That leather has been in my Amazon cart a while and is very tempting.

Nobody has the Nomad Rugged.
nope...havent tried that one. Its been out of stock for a long while
[doublepost=1540406865][/doublepost]
I have the classic black coming too. Ugh dilemmas
Please give a classic vs leather grip test when the classic arrives.
I feel I’ve been disappointed too many times by Rhinoshield. My hands are so dry everything feels slick so I don’t think I’m gonna try them again.
I’m legitimately upset right now.
I usually wind up eventually getting a thin, minimalist case. With the Xs Max, I was afraid to get one because of the glass front/back and stainless steel sides. I told myself I would only buy a black Apple leather case. But then I bought a Spigen Neo Hybrid. I exchanged the black Apple leather case for forest green. I purchased a Spigen Liquid Air Armor. But I missed the way a thin case feels, so I bought the Pitaka case, which ends up being the only case I use (on my 6s Plus, 8 Plus, and now Xs Max).
