Have you used the dark aubergine much? How is it aging? I ordered one the other day with the BestBuy Black Friday discount.
Got a tip for us?

Am I the only one obsessed with buying cases? (Pt. 3)

Looks good still. I like the red but it feels slippery compared to the aubergine. It probably isn’t really different.
I'm looking for a battery case.. would really love to find one that passes audio through the lightning port.
* Before anyone says "use Bluetooth" I travel a fair amount and use my Bose QC20 headphones. (I also have the QC35's, but they are bulky and difficult to sleep when wearing)

Alright y’all, is there such thing out there as a clear case for the X that’s grippy but also doesn’t discolor over time? GO!
Start here, can’t promise it won’t discolor but I’ve been eyeing these. Fits your bill quite nice if it doesn’t yellow. Presidios are solid cases and this one happens to have a clear back.

Thanks Blaine. My phone is now preparing to ship, so I guess I should start ordering a case.. ha

So I cannot recommend this. It randomly stops charging my iPhone X, and pressing the button on the back sometimes re-initiates charging and sometimes doesn't. Sometimes the only way to re-initiate charging is to take the phone out of the case a bit to break the charging connection and then reseat the phone inside the case.
I'm disappointed; I guess I'll wait for Mophie to release theirs.

Where & how does everyone store their cases? I’d like to keep my additional cases clean (& free of dust & debris)
This will be my first time using multiple cases, lol, so sorry for the newbie questions! Just want to get some ideas.
I’ll be picking up the ultra violet silicone case for my 2nd!

Take pics! I had an Apple store gift card so I just ordered the rose red for my X as my first case. I put mine in a tiny little box
I usually just put them back in the original packaging when switching.
Bumper quite nice, not sure how much I’d trust to drop it with it though. These SuperShieldz are excellent for protecting back of.
I haven’t used Incipio in awhile, how has their quality been? I have a hard time finding good cases now cause I hate slippery cases.
Not too bad honestly. I have those two above, and NGP Sport from Walmart. None are probably my favorite but they do seem to be of decent quality. NGP Advanced pictured above is least slick of bunch per se. pretty solid case. Thinner than I was expecting which is arguably nice.
Guess what Blaine? Finally got my X yesterday. Now the case hunt begins officially.
How do you like it? What color did you get? This gonna be fun...
I love it. I’m in love with the screen. And I got the silver, so pretty much any color case would look good with it. Have the rose red silicone now, but planning on possibly getting a spigen ultra hybrid. Say, did you use a screen protector on yours?
Latest case I picked up from Amazon is the Anker Karapax Touch for 8.99. Looks great, grips well but not sure of drop protection.

Yes using a screen protector. The BodyGuardz actually. Have had decent luck with them, like their installation tray and have had to use their warranty before and been an exceptional experience.
I have several more cases on way, three Patchwork’s, a UAG Parhfinder and couple off eBay LOL. Really itching to get a Rhinoshield CrashGuard and a Mod next.

Do you have the link to the screen protector? I got a moshi one for free but it was a PITA to install.. had to reapply and readjust like 4 times to get it to align with the notch and not be crooked.. but those trays would help a good install.

Att store sells them and should have them in stock. I have the Spy Glass version too as for Black Friday their website was half off.
This never occurred to me until I actually started using cases with the iPhone X. All previous iPhones were naked but this one is just too expensive to repair, so I'm forced to use a case.
I keep thinking to buy a new case every week/2 weeks because I want the coolest, sleekest looking case that somehow preserves the sleek look/richness of the iPhone X itself.
