What cases do you plan to get for your iPhone XS Max?

New case today. The Otterbox Symmetry. Fantastic slim case. Otterbox has much improved this case over past versions.
So slim that the phone feels like there is hardly a case on it at all. The buttons have been redesigned and are now plastic inserts that work fantastic and are very tactile. A little slippery but I absolutely love this case.

Are the sides slippery or just the back? How does it compare to the Monarch?

Just the back. I still like the Monarch better but they are 2 different animals.
I've had the Symmetry case for the past 10 phones I've owned and this is by far the best Symmetry yet.

Re: Best cases for iPhone XS Max

I think next year my device of choice will be the Max model. I typically get the Apple leather case as I love the design. If I was purchasing a device this year, that'd be the one I'd get.

7 Cases

Otterbox Symmetry - Yellow & Clear
UAG Pathfinder - White & Blue
Apple Silicone - Black & Horizon Blue
Caseology Clear

I think I need a kickstand case, black otterbox symmetry, or white silicone. I need to stop. I have use case scenarios for each one though. Got to match lol.

Been thinking of getting the >>> Vaja - Black Pointille - GRIP - IPHONE XS MAX LEATHER CASE $109.00 <<< Is Vaja worth it? I have the Apple (Product) Red Leather. Is the Vaja that much more "Oooh!" than the Apple Case, or will I feel like "Why did I spend $120 with shipping?" Anyone here have one?

I had a Vaja leather for my 6 Plus four years ago. At first I was like ooh I’m liking this case. But after a while I kept beating myself up about spending so much money on a case. YMMV

I like this case, but not for $120. My Black Apple Leather will do.

I don't mind spending the $ but I have to get something of value out of it. I wish it was like Coach or Wilson Leather were you can walk in and hold one before buying such an unique item. I need to see how it feels in my hand. $10 on Amazon I can toss it out, no worries, $120 would be 2 dinners out for my wife and me.

This is just my opinion, but for $109.00 they could at least cover the power and volume buttons.
