I'm not sure if I got a better quality Apple Leather case this time, but normally it takes about a week for the slipperiness to wear off. This time it took about three days or maybe I was just holding this iPhone MAX more. I do believe my break in period is complete.

Don’t care for Apple leather. Too slick. Much better alternatives for the $50 you’ll spend. Personally I like the Apple silicone more, if it has to be to be OEM.

They seem to have improved the leather cases, at least for the Xs Max -- mine was not slick at all when I bought it. And, as others stated, the slickness of my previous Apple leather cases wore off quickly .

It's got a nice feel and it lasts. That's how I would introduce someone to this case . But be prepared to pay a premium for it .

I used the OtterBox Commuter on my 6s Plus for over 2 years. I liked it. It felt good and was great protection. I switched to the Apple leather case and like it too. It feels nice, but doesn't offer as much protection as the OtterBox. When I get around to buying the XS Max, it will be in an OtterBox.

I had a Otterbox Commuter for my 7 Plus and used it for my outdoor activities. A lot more bulky than the Apple Leather but more security in certain situations. Nice case, but my Apple leather is far more comfortable for everyday normal activities.

I was told at the Apple store that these cases have drop tested thousands of times! Was shocked when i heard that. But yea, i have never had any damage while using Apple cases.

Keep in mind the Apple store is a business trying to sell their products. Don't believe everything they say....LOL

I bet in all those tests, they didn't drop it face down. One can't tell a lot from those controlled tests. All the case makers say the same thing about their drop tests. LOL

I really like Sena's Italian Leather cases, but there were out out in time for the Xs-Max, and I am not sure they're out now. Now that I have the Apple Leather, even though I love Sena, they lost a sale by the long delay. Oh well.
