Case or no case on your XS Max???

[judgetom]

After a visit to the Apple shop today, I picked up a blue Apple leather case. I much say it is much more slippery than my previous Apple leather cases.

Hmm...

Same over here with a black one. Think it will take its time to get better a better grip. Made the same experience with the leather case for the X last year. After 4 weeks of constant usage it got grip.

Although peel is the original..as mentioned prior totallee is made stronger. After a couple of removals, peel will lose shape. I used peel when I had the jet-black iPhone 7 that was prone to scratches. Both are great cases for minimal and just to avoid scratches. Felt like nothing was on it, but grippy.

The Peel case I got today feels like cheap plastic with zero grip. I would be afraid I would drop the phone. Going to see if I can return it... I don't mind losing the return shipping.

Silicone in Black on Gold XS MAX. Hate to cover the Gold, but it is what it is.

Black and gold is a nice contrast, so if you are going to cover the gold going with black is a good choice.

Apple’s leather cases are the only ones that get better with wear and use

Picked up an Otterbox Traction case from Apple. Pretty good case.

I bought one and it kept collecting dust so I returned it not even 24 hours later

I bought the Apple leather case in midnight blue. I might add a screen protector too. After a month or two, I’ll probably use the Max naked.

Whats your thoughts on the midnight blue? I had the saddle brown on my 8+ and liked it but wanting a different color this time. I been eyeing that midnight blue. I know once it patina it’s probably going to look black

A device this expensive it would be suicide not using a case in my opinion.

A kamikaze mission

Apple leather case maybe in midnight blue. These are my go to cases because it adds grip, style, and moderate protection. Add a tempered glass screen protector and im straight

No case for me. Didn't use a case on my 7+ or 8+ either. I get the AppleCare+ so I don't have to worry about buying a case. Some say I'm crazy to not put a $1k+ phone in a case but personally, I hate the idea of putting a $1k+ phone in a $50 case. There isn't a case on the market that comes close to the design or beauty of the au naturel iPhone.

Lifeproof Next, its a rugged clear case. I don’t think it detracts from the phones looks. https://www.lifeproof.com/en-us/next-for-iphone-xs-max/lpnx-apl-iphp18.html

Do you not feel the phone itself is slippery? That’s the only reason I use a case. I really would rather not...

It is a little at first, but after a day or two you get used to it. Personally I found the older devices (6 & 7) with the matte finish to be more slippery. Now that the 8, X, and XS are all glass backs I find them to be much easier to grip.

Definitely slippery. I dropped my phone onto a crockery plate last night because of how slippery it is. I can’t wait to get my case

Caudabe is better than both. I’ve had cases from all 3 and not impressed with the Totallee or Peel. Caudabe just doesn’t have many colors right now. Hope they add more soon! I’ve never seen a case fit so precisely as the Caudabe I had for my 6S.

I just got a completely clear soft tpu case from ESR today. It’s pretty minimal and I like it a lot. Makes the phone grippy and shows off the gold sides and back. These type of cases yellow over time but they’re inexpensive and so you can just get a new one. $12 on Amazon. The Spigen liquid silicone is nice too but no better than this ESR.

Agreed.
