nice what color did ya get?

assuming this case isn't terrible I think im gonna get it

$40 isn't the worst in the world, and I dont wanna play case swap game and I also dont want to worry abut shattering the phone and paying $549 for a phone swap if I wreck the back glass on it

the leather is going immediately back even tho I enjoyed it until its fall

--

would you mind taking some pics of the one u got, even without phone? curious what it looks like in th wild not just stock photos

looks interesting

I can't trust leather apple since my 7+ just shattered from a 3 foot drop

I dunno if id trust silicone either at this point?

would this do the trick? I like the see through design for the silver back

It, absolutely is. I dropped my iPhone 6s Plus from a height that was less than 3 feet (can’t recall which case was on it at the time) and the screen shattered. After getting the phone replaced at the Apple Store I purchased this Otterbox case (sold exclusively at Apple Stores) for it.

I’ve dropped it, in this case, a couple of times and my iPhone remained unscathed. The last drop occurred while I was exiting my vehicle. The phone slid across the garage floor (height was greater than when I previously shattered my screen) and landed face down. You can imagine how my face looked as I picked up the phone and turned it around to see the screen. There was zero damage to my phone! Needless to say I’m picking up this same Otterbox case for my iPhone X today at the Apple Store. I shall be ready when my iPhone X is delivered tomorrow.

End of testimonial :D

I like the back but that case looks so bulky

Not as bulky as other “security “ style cases. In fact it’s the same, in weight and bulk, as the one I replaced it with (see testimonial posted here) and that one I purchased for looks. In fact I don’t find this case to be bulky at all. This is the lightest secure case I’ve seen so far.

And I love how only a quarter of the back is a solid color. The power button takes a little more pressure to activate though.
 
I have this case for my 7+ and I'm going to use the new one for the iPhone X. I was very happy with this case it sustains drops and it is a nice looking case the leather on the bottom has not worn very much at all after a year of use.

I would highly recommend it if you're on the fence about it

Sounds perfect for peace of mind.

Stillcsufks looking at this shattered 7+ ugh
 
Just picked up mine at the Apple Store today. The one on my iPhone 6s Plus is gray (that's when the Space Gray was really gray). This time I picked black.

Which color X u getting ?

I picked up the blue should go well with silver

Already returned the leather X not gonna risk shattering such an expensive device

Seems like you made a good choice! Please post pictures of your silver iPhone with the blue case when you get it.
I just took a look at Apple's silicone case. It looks nice but doesn't seem like it would provide much (drop) protection. Surprisingly enough the Otterbox case is the same price. :oops:
I agree with what you said about risking another shattering experience.

It having a leather component and being otterbox and not that bulky for overly protective AND see through (I wanna see that white back) AND same price as silicone all solidified it for me

Did you consider the black model?

I originally wanted the black but got lured into blue in person

Black is just standard. Would go real well with the space grey

But black would work with silver too I think the blue looks black in a lot of lighting I just like added touch of color.

The wine looked awful in person. And intriguing in online stock photos

The cases have a cool horizontal slide open without breaking a seal so u can just see the case without committing to it.

Nice packaging !

That looks really sharp, plus no worries about drops. :cool:

Shattering my 7plus with leather apple case sucked earlier this week two days before X never broke a screen before. Saved me from not making an expensive X mistake tho

Promptly returned the leather X case and went with this. Glad I bought it in store the day before X release bc by Friday they were all gone everywhere.

I wanted day1 protection

I have the Silver X as well, I actually prefer the blue leather to the black but the blue front is what’s throwing me off.

You tried it on?

It looks black in so much lighting to me and when I see it I like it

The lip is “different” from the bezel naturally wrapped around the OLED
So I embrace the additional flare

The blue leather piece looks nicer to me
Too. More retro to a cooler time or something with that blue plastic

This case will be a hit

It adds quite a bit of heft but it feels great and I don’t mind knowing that back glass is a 549 mistake

And it’s see through!

Most cases completely
Cover the back to where color doesn’t matter

Haven’t tried it yet; the Apple stores are all out of stock but I’ll check it out tomorrow as they’ll have the demo until a on display
