Yeah I watched your diztronic review for the x last night. Hopefully it’s not too lose for me.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah let me know how you like it. I’m super picky when it comes to cases and that’s part reason why I loved the Voyeur series back in the day because it was such a snug fit.
While looking at the Diz I also checked the other suggestions on Amazon...Have you or anyone tried any of these from EasyACC?

When is that new Solidsuit review going to be up
Hey Tee, how is the grip on the leather solidsuit?
Not familiar. Looks a little busy for my tastes. Could be good though.

I thought this one looked a lot like most other slim cases! https://www.easyacc.com/en/1085-easyacc-black-tpu-case-with-matte-finish-for-iphone-xs-max.html
That's the first one. He has a new video with all the different colors/styles coming up.
Just ordered The whole button collection from rhinoshield. I have a 25% off code so for $12 it was worth it. I like the white buttons 
Case alert!
My coworker just showed my the case mate barely there on their phone. They got it from ATT. It’s slim with great grip and great buttons. No fingerprints. I’m going to get more hands on time shortly.
Edit: I’m not sure it’s the barley there or not but I know it’s case mate. More to come.

Thanks for the code. I used it, so hopefully you got your credit. It took me a while to find where you posted the code. (I'm new to this site.) Mine is scheduled for delivery today, so I'll report back later today. Most of the reviews are saying it feels really good. One review mentioned it doesn't feel like leather but rubber. One review said that it feels like they took a sticker and stuck it on a cheap case. I don't know what to expect!
Thanks again for the code.
Ok it’s the case mate protection package

I’ve been using it for a while now. My only con is the buttons rattle if you shake it. Really liking everything else.

I've been a user of the Tech21 Tactical for many years. They stopped making it, I stopped giving them my money. On a recommendation here, I picked up the Speck Presidio Grip. 2 weeks, the grip lines started coming off. Highly disappointed in the quality of that. I took a chance on the Mous Limitless 2.0 for the XS Max. I grabbed the Carbon Fiber version. I LOVE this case. My one and only complaint, it's a bit slick laying it down screen up on a smooth surface. It can be bumped and slide easily. Other than that, I'm shocked at how much I love this. Used a 20% off code and it shipped from Nous and arrived in 3 days. Very happy, and highly recommend the Mous Limitless 2.0, at least for the XS Max!
She is live....When is that new Solidsuit review going to be up

What is the 25% off code?
I got the leather case from Barley there. Nice case.
I’ve been considering that case also. My wife likes hers but she has the smaller one. Do you find it bulky on the Max? Do you have any pictures??
this is great forum...a good place for us to feed our addiction and learn a little
anyway, that Sheath is starting to grow on me in spite of the defect on the bottom of the case. i haven't heard back from Caudabe as to when the new batch will come in, but hopefully it won't be too long. if they dont expect it back, i may smooth the defect out using sandpaper.
so, i've run into a new thing i'd love to hear thoughts on. i had previously been using a Maxboost protector. i liked the clarity and the only downside was the obvious installation with the notch and border at the visible screen edge of the phone, so based on all of the rave reviews on these forums, i went ahead and ordered the Icarez 2.5D to try out a semi-full screen protector for the first time. i'll review it elsewhere, but what surprised me as how much the 0.33mm thickness makes a perceived difference in comparison to the 0.25mm Maxboost. there is still a lip for facedown placing the phone a smooth surface, but the edges of the Sheath case don't provide much buffer with this thicker screen protector.
anyway, i like the edge to edge glass (i didn't go 3D since i worry about it not being compatible with some cases): the installation with the Sheath is so clean that it doesn't look like there is a protector installed at all, but now i'm concerned about whether i lost protection even though this protector is thicker and presumably more protective?
would love to hear thoughts on this...

You must be happy with the SS. Going all in! Getting some camera lenses too? Lol
I do. I heard the lip at the top and bottom can be too large for people. If you’re not using a glass screen protector, I can totally see this being an issue. Using glass, it’s more than perfect for me.
