I have been using a Nomad wallet case with my iPhone X. Just about everyone said the phone sounded like I was under water and very muffled. I discovered that if you fold the front cover of the case against the back of the phone it covers the mic that is located in the rear camera bundle. This mic apparently is used to reduce background noise during calls. I have seen a few posts that the Apple wallet case produces similar results.
