I’m looking for a thin/slim case for my iPhone X. Nothing crazy, but something light that offers a decent amount of protection, preferably plastic or something that doesn’t collect dust/lint. Also easy to take on and off.

Any recommendations are appreciated.

I would recommend the SILK Base Grip for iPhone X. I currently have one on mine. Thin, grippy, good protection and doesn’t collect lint/fingerprints.

Why? I was thinking about picking one of these up. What’s wrong with the texture?
It’s got a sandstone type of texture. Some like it some don’t. When my hands are very dry it can be off putting but otherwise it has the grip I need.

I ended up going with this one, I got it yesterday. It's perfect in regards to thickness/fit, but I'm not sure how I feel about the texture. :-/
For me the thin profile and the fact that the camera cutout is super precise makes me keep it on my phone full time.

Picked up one of these this week with the sale they are having. Like the look and grip of the sheath. Has the sandstone texture as the previous poster noted which adds to grip for me.

I'm still using this. It's the smartest, minimalist design I've used.

Slipping it in/out of pockets due to the thinness is a reminder of how clever it is.

It doesn't get dirty as the back never touches the surface, & due to having no sides, your fingers have full reach behind & to the far side, so grip's as good as if you had no case on. This then results in your thumb gaining extra reach on the screen, for improved one handed use.

You can put it face down without worrying about scratching the screen.

You get over the exposed sides, as the lustre of having a shiny new device usually wanes over time, so worrying about scratches becomes less of a big deal. But it's minimised anyway, since your hand is covering the sides, which are sticky on the X...enhancing your grip & reducing the chances of you dropping the thing.

That’s an interesting design. I couldn’t use it due to the exposed sides but still a cool looking case nonetheless.

dont bother - at least for the 8, the Tozo case on Amazon is EXACTLY identical, texture and everything.

oh, and its under ten bucks and i can have it the same day, vs peel who charges like 25 and spends a week shipping it across the country via truck.

the peel is a waste of money. the tozo isnt similar, it IS the peel case, 1000%.
