My wife has the beetle pro and it’s a beast case as well. Not as bulky as the defender, but it’s up there. It’s nice, the built in screen protector is the usual plastic type which I would prefer to remove, but the phone still works perfectly with it on.

Im partial to the armadillotek since they’re a Texas based small company and I like the way it looks. There’s a few reviews on the armadillotek on YouTube. Sorry I couldn’t offer more info.
Any idea about the speakers? I asked him on Twitter, and they kind of gave me the runaround and sent me a video about a different phone

On the beetle pro; they’re ok. They don’t block any of the sound. I can’t say if they’re asymmetrical or not. My wife doesn’t have an iPhone.

Can't speak for the quality taking it off as i haven't yet but it doesn't feel sharp round the edges or anywhere really, maybe they improved the 11 Pro model? I have a Bellroy hide & seek wallet and also the card sleeve, big fan of their products.

I have the hide and seek too, had note sleeve before that. They have a 3 year warranty anyway and they replaced mine, if i don't like the Mujjo will get one. Their wallets go on sale from a few websites here but cases don't seem to.

Do you like how the buttons work?

since i am using the sheath now more as the daily driver, I was curious if anyone had any experience with the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro for the 11 PM? I am curious about the cutouts nd if they are asymmetrical

I am looking for a larger "traveling case"., so was thinking this or the armadillotek

I got a nice blue Ballistic Tough Jacket that I'll sell you for $20.00 :rolleyes: Correct cutouts and all. $50.00 Case.

How’s the bottom tpu? Is it “saggy”

No, not at all. Here are a couple pics of the actual case.

I don't understand.

Why don't case manufactures create a case with a stand, BUT, with the stand being on the other side, so the volume buttons of the case are UP and easy to get to, when the device is using the stand?

Well, inquiring minds want to know...

I bought an Apple Leather case, but, just received my Spigen Tough Armor, with a stand.

Mujjo Black Leather.
Really nice leather case. Perfect fit. Just enough lip with a GSP. Excellent grip not slippery at all. Buttons good will probably get better with use when leather softens up.
Smells like real leather and nice packaging even better than Nomads lol.
Can't fault it really. Was $25AUD cheaper than Apples Black cough grey case.
Think i am done now with this and the Symmetry ;)

Looking nice! I’ve been seriously thinking of trying my apple saddle brown case again. Oh well, I have apple care do breaks shouldn’t be a problem. I may get another symmetry tomorrow as well.

Yep same as Apples, although the leather seems a little bit thicker and has a nice texture to it, not a case you would drop easily, probably the best in that regard to any i have tried so far.
Nice Microfibre lining inside too.

Looks nice! I think I am about to put my Apple Leather case back on.

My Spigen Touch Armor feels like it's cutting my little finger. Since it rest at the bottom of the case, near the charging port...

Yeah just realised how nice the phone is too hold and use with an open bottom after using the symmetry for a month, guess Apple know it too lol.

Agreed. Just rather annoying when I want to watch YouTube videos while at lunch. No kick stand...

I got my Lifeproof Slam today. It’s quite bulky and heavy. Haven’t decided if I’ll keep or not. Also loose around volume buttons.
