Case or no case on your XS Max???

I have to agree with that, some level of protection is well worth it, but at the same time you want to show off the looks of your phone too. Bumpers with clear backs are a good way to go.

I haven't even looked for cases yet, but I will be getting the Otterbox Defender and the Lifeproof Fre. I paid full retail price for the XS Max and there's no way in hell I'm going to use a flimsy case on the $1,500 phone.

Since I forked our a crazy $2369 for the 512GIG Max I’ll have to get a case. It only makes sense.
Still haven’t found one. I need the life proof case.

No case for my X, nor will I wear one on my XS Max. I don’t think I have used one dine the 6. I love the straight look of it.

I still go with basic protection, a Black Peel and a Red Silicone and a quality Tempered glass front. I can't add more bulk to an already large phone. I think adding an Otter Box just ruins it.

As they say, one should protect their investment. I will order this Spigen (link below). Another one I am thinking of, is the Apple Leather case.

The Spigen just arrived today. Can't stick a phone in it but I like the texture in back. Grippy without being sticky. And the buttons look like they won't be stiff. Also not bulky. Phone is so big and this case won't add to size. Didn't feel cheap for a cheap case.

I'll be upgrading from the 7 Plus. I really love the look of this phone, so I think I'll be trying to find some sort of Invisible Shield of equivalent.

You need a case made of airbags and titanium to insure that phone never gets hurt. That is just crazy amount but I do know the currency difference between the USD and AUD is significant.

Yeah. It’s pretty bad. Last year we paid $1800 for the 256gig iPhone X. I was so upset. Now this year it gets worse. Lol. We basically paying $1000 for than you guys. What a rip-off

Too expensive of a device to keep it outside of a case. I have an Apple Silicon on my X, so I plan on doing that again. I've decided against screen protection, though.
