Apple Launches New iPhone XS Case and Apple Watch Band Color Options

Relentless Power said:
A Screen protector that protects your display from scratches, scuffs and damage is ‘unnecessary crap’? I think there would be millions of iPhone users that would disagree with your assertion. There is a lot of money to be made either way from watch bands as a direct accessory to the Watch, as a screen protector is for the iPhone.

If the phone drops on its weak point, no screen protector will stop the screen from going pop. Seen 100s shattered with protectors.

You also have to go out of your way to try and scratch a modern smart phone display, so the only people who are thankful are the people who don't look after their stuff properly.

I hate how the Apple cases do not close at the bottom

Yes and that's exactly where my 6 Plus got a chip out of it when using the Apple silicone case. Why wouldn't they protect all the way round ?

My Head Case one protects all the way around and as the edges are clear, you can hardly see it.
 
Not much love for the Pacific Green, why don't people like it? I might get both case and band.

I thought it was so the iPhone could cleanly work with docs, charging cables, etc. Although plenty of other cases have bottom protection and can still work fine.

Definitely seems like something went wrong with the Xr cases somehow (bad color matching or something) since we're looking at the 2nd batch of Xs cases.

Guessing the Xr's will come but one wonders if it'll be after the Christmas holiday.

It’s outrageous they haven’t released cases for the iPhone XR, I suppose they don’t care about iPhone XR customers
 
I would like the black nike watch band which doesn’t seem to be available.

When is Apple going to offer handbags and shoes?

It’s been proven that Products like these sell like hot cakes in today’s market. The ugly sneaker trend is still hot at the moment.

Got the black one for my XS but it's only been in and out of my pocket a few times and the lovely matt finish comes off leaving glossy wear on the corners :-(

and this is where my iPhone Xs Max got its tiny micro scratches on the glass back already at the lower half. I guess some dust or something got inside and moved up and down

It’s amusing that the people lambasting Apple for not releasing an official Xr case are probably the people least likely to get one.

Not sure about that. I have loads of third party cases for my Xr but am getting my sister-in-law an Xr as a delayed birthday gift and would love to get her an Apple case for it for Christmas. Instead, I got her a nice leather case from Amazon.

I could get her a cheap silicone one from Amazon like the one I have. But it's a gift and the Apple branding still carries a bit of prestige for gifts even if we can be happy with knockoffs for ourselves.

Apple is missing some money here. At no other time of the year do I feel inclined now to overspend on their stuff except the winter holidays and birthdays and Father's/Mother's Day.

That's what I was looking for. It came out first, so why isn't it an option? I want a band that matches everything yet is reflective, and these aren't it.

The price of the Apple watch bands are the biggest gross margins Apple must have. It's so large that it's gross. Not sure why anybody would ever buy an Apple watch band.

Pretty cool, eh?

Ugly colors but at least Apple is doing something besides watching their stock price got down daily. :rolleyes:

Yeah and probably a good percentage of those are people who've put on a screen protector after braking the screen instead of getting it replaced. I've seen people with phones with broken tempered glass protectors but the screen itself is fine, those people maybe can't be bothered to replace the protector or haven't had the time.
