So, anyone else disappointed with the current colours available to order for the XS [Max]?
Had the Violet one from day one with my X and checked daily for the 42mm watch strap in that colour to come back in. Now my phone won't match :(.
I'm sure I cant be the only one who had a matching set up and won't be able to with the new phones :mad:

Yes, I agree. But go to Amazon – they have lots of third-party cases and I’m sure you’ll find at least one that you like! And of course they’re much cheaper than Apple cases.

When it comes to case colors you can always go with SlickWraps and give your phone a whole new look for $30 and you can remove and reuse so why not.

Thats what made me come and write this thread :rotfl:
I had a look on Amazon and got irritated. Used to go with Spigen but, the one I used to use is quite bulky and realised it was the one I'd added to the basket, so that was a no go. Found a slim fitting Spigen which was quite nice.
From looking through the cases thread on here a bit more, I found another make that had an ok purple and got a few more ideas but, fortunately through one of those random cases the Amazon suggestions under the product showed a case I really liked. It's blue but, it's a dark purple-ish blue. Not quite what I wanted but, nice grip and only £8.99 :D
