I just switched back to my Ringke Fusion (my “temp” case when the phone was released lol) from my Mous Contour. Hadn’t been in this thread in a while and saw a few pages back about the leather seeming to wear prematurely. Noticed that on mine and realized I’ve only had it for a little over a month! My Nomad I had for a lot longer and it didn’t wear nearly as bad. Anyway I contacted customer service so we’ll see what they say.
Yeah, it's my current favourite. Very light case, yet feels protective. I'm also using it on my Samsung Galaxy S10+.
My Apple leather folio went back today.
As much as I like the idea of a folio case, the flap was just too cumbersome for day-to-day use. Especially when answering phone calls, or trying to snap a quick photo of my kid. It felt like adding an extra step to everything I do with the phone.
Not being compatible with my car vent mount was another knock against the case.
The auto wake/sleep wasn’t as cool as I imagined it would be. Especially since I still have to unlock the phone after opening the flap.
I felt oddly self-conscious having to open the case each time I wanted to glance at the time, or check a text.
All that being said, I still want to love folio cases, and might even give it a shot later down the road.

Why you say that lol!?
Lol, it’s slowly starting to turn “black”, but it definitely is gray. My saddle brown will be here tomorrow.Its grey though
What sucks is that I ordered when the sale was going on, only after I paid did I receive an email saying due to high demand it will ship within 7-14 days. ? No mention of delayed shipping until after they got my money.

Bartlesville kind of sounds like Hooterville from Green Acres

How hard was the skin to get on the back around that thin area of the camera cutout?
Still on the clear case. Great fit, grippy, and not gone yellow yet. I discovered a new "trick": I turned on the "LED flash for alerts" option under accessibilities, and when placed with the camera (and hence flash LED) face down, whenever I get a call or notification the entire sides of the case flash brightly. Cool.
I’ve used Spigen cases in the past and have their liquid air in black. Definitely nice cases and the flash trick is a good idea.
FYI, otterbox is running a seasonal special of Star Wars printed cases. I didn’t take a deeper look to see if it’s for the symmetry though.

I’ve seen some of what I think are the exact same cases sold here for much more on aliexpress especially the totallee and bare cases. While they’re selling those cases for $25-$35 they’re selling for $1-$2 on aliexpress.Found this one on aliexpress, price is sort of very cheap around $4

The only downside ordering there is the shipping, it's often free but can take a month or two
While everyone else if going super thin, I'm going Mega FAT ! Say hello to my little friend.

How’s the interior? Does it have a rubberized material that touches the phone or is it hard plastic like the inside of the otterbox defender?
iPhone Xr. Almost one year in:
Still no case.
Still no drops
Still no cracks.
Might get a an XPEL wrap for my new car, though, when I buy it next year or so.

Yea, the Shield. It has a rubberized material along all of the inside edges including the part that actually touches the front display. No worries about it scratching the edges or display of your phone like the Defender. The buttons are fantastic but this case is as slippery as a greased pig. The back also looks like a thin piece of printed cardboard and shows fingerprints like no tomorrow.
Plus once your phone is in you will literally need a crow bar to get it back out. I've had this case in the past and have no clue why I ordered it again. It's feeling like an Amazon return to me.
?Thanks for the quick rundown before I ordered the case. I almost, almost pulled the trigger just now.
Edit: Does anyone know of a fat case besides the defender pro or the shield that has a similar inner lining? Like a tpu or rubberized inner lining? I’m feeling anxious with such a thin case on my phone. And I’ve dropped it once already today.
The Shield is a decent case. I just can't handle the fingerprints or slipperiness of it. The sides are that hard plastic and have zero grip at all.
I still have a gray and blue Ballistic Tough Jacket case for $20.00 a piece if you need a decent heavy duty case with good grip. This is a good fat case.
