I have been using a Magpul Field case on my iPhone 6S and iPad Mini 2 for 4+ years and love them They are like a hard rubber, almost plastic like. But very low profile. That's the main thing, I just want minimal protection and something to make the phone easier to hold without it slipping thru my fingers.

Can anyone recommend a similar inexpensive case, since Magput doesn't make the Field case for the new iPhone 11?

Sounds like the Caudabe Sheath would be perfect. It’s a fan favorite around these forums. Very slim, good grip, good drop protection. Been using it for years and love it.

Thanks, that looks great. My one concern is if it will be thick enough to protect the camera lenses when placing it down on a table. The new camera has the lense stick out in addition to a bump-out for the entire area. So it sticks out far.

Funny how that works, huh? lol
 
I found knock-offs that were VERY close to the original for, i believe, my iPhone X, a little over a year ago on eBay. I'd keep an eye on there for a knock-off. Not to knock Magpul, but they had been taking their time on developing phone cases.

Attention to the most minute details /precision seem to characterise the Caudabe cases.
Also, they do have a 30 day return policy.
Right now - their web site shows a 15% discount thru Sun
However, I got an email from them today which offers 20% discount on 2019 iPhone accessories thru Sun if you use code: LAUNCH20 at checkout

FWIW: I do have their Sheath case for my XR - that's how I can speak to its manufacturing precision .
However, I never use it as I prefer my Mujjo leather case
(Didn't want you to think I might be a Caudabe shill ;))

Thank you! I ordered it and got the discount with LAUNCH20
 
The case is great. It's even lower profile than my Magpul case because it does not have the ribs on it.

It looks like a high quality case, let's see if its lasts for 4 years like the Magpul :p

My only concern is if the back of the case will keep the camera lense off of the surface I put the phone down onto, since the 11 camera and camera bump sticks out kinda far. We will see tomorrow.

Check eBay for ‘rugged’ cases. Using one on my XS Max and already have one for Pro Max. Not much difference.
