Just make sure you are ordering the new, thin redesigned model. Last years Symmetry had the thick rubber buttons and rubber padding on the inside back shell.

It’s solid. The only downside are the flush buttons like hooterville said. It could also be considered a tad bit bulky. So I guess that’s two minor downsides.
The speck is terrible. The buttons are tougher than almost all other cases I triedAnyone fondled this at BB:

Again, all you solid suiters, no microfiber back version? Seems It would have more grip then the classic?
I had MF for my X; slick as...
I chose leather because it looks better to me. Microfiber reminds me of cleaning cloths
so not my favorite. I am worried about grip on leather but will wait and see. Hoping its decent enough.
I suppose a pop socket wont look so great or stick to leather so much. Anyone try that? Any other ways to hold Max phone?

Wasn’t available on Amazon.
I think it is for the max

Oh whoops. Must have missed it.
[doublepost=1540669750][/doublepost]I’m back and forth between the solid suit and the Apple leather today. Going to be a tough call.

Just bought one at Best Buy and did a price match for $29.50
The black Symmetry is much tighter/harder to get on then the red one.
Dawgs kicking a little Gator @ss at the moment.

The Symmetry and SolidSuit are pretty much the same size. The symmetry is a tiny bit taller and the SolidSuit is a tiny bit wider. IMO the Symmetry has much better grip and protection than the SolidSuit. Here are a few side by side pictures I just took.
Not a fan of the Otterbox logo or the tpu. It always seems flimsy.Just bought one at Best Buy and did a price match for $29.50

Is Magcase Pro for X compatible with XS. Really like that microfibre on the inside. Does it have the same finger print magnet problem m.
Looked at this Speck case today at Best Buy and have lost all respect for Speck.
How can a case manufacturer put out a case that has completely inoperable buttons?
Maybe there was a secret door or something I was missing?

I got the Speck Gemshell. I like it but it’s difficult to get on and off and the buttons are much stiffer than an Otterbox. I plan on switching when I see the Otterbox on sale

Better protection how?
Just saw this. The rhinoshield protection is impressive.
