totally a personal opinion. i can't remember if you preferred the black over the red or not. if so, and you are still within return period, go get the black. if you're torn, you'll just have to decide. they have skins of every color, including black and red, plus the naked skins (which i got) which will allow you to protect the device with the original color still showing through (assuming a clear case or no case). you could always keep the red and then get a black skin if you wanted to temporarily have a different color for a while. might be cool with the little red outlines/accents around the camera and very edge of bezel. but totally up to you.

i'm currently trying to decide which color to get myself. split between purple and black. but i bought the naked skin so that whatever color i choose, it will still be seen with the skin on. but i do love the retro skins and may eventually switch up to that in 6 months or something for a change. and i'm now leaning toward getting a clear apple case for the phone, assuming it fits with the skin on. hopefully the other poster will come back and let me know how tight it is.

fyi - the dry install skin has a matte finish (not glossy). the wet install skin is glossy/shiny. i got the dry matte skin because i prefer the feel and it's less likely to have fingerprint smudges.

Thanks guys. I’m going to sleep on it tonight and decide in the morning. I seriously am unbelievably indecisive!!!

i know the feeling. takes me a year to decide, then i second guess myself for the first 6 months of ownership :) it's a no win situation.

Wanted to share some photos of my midnight green. The phone lives in a case so color really didn't matter. I generally just get whatever is 'new' in hopes it helps resale a year from now:

Err, have you got a case on in those pics? If so, damn it's thin! And what case is it?
 
Guys, your views on the following please... Would a Product Red 11 look good with a pine green silicone case? Or does the "red and green should never be seen" apply here also?

No case on the iPhone in these pictures but I am using two cases right now The Otterbox Lumen for weekends out in the woods and the Apple Clear Case during the week.

red and green i think would look great, but where can you find a pine green case for the 11?

eBay. The picture shows a Pro, but the side bar shows 11. I've bought cases from eBay before and shockingly they fair better than the genuine Apple cases.

After much indecision, I returned my product red today. Now waiting for a boring black to come into stock. Then will order a dark red and olive silicone case.

that's likely from slickwraps. they have some really sweet retro skins.

is that the official apple case? i bought the naked slickwraps and i have always had trouble getting a case on with a skin. any issues? looks great. and if it's not the apple case, which one are you using? thanks.

It's just a cheap clear case I got on Amazon. Here's the link.

Like most clear cases, the back gets smudged from fingerprints and has to be periodically wiped, but I suppose if I was using the iPhone 11 without a case I'd be wiping fingerprints off too.

I had an 11 in white and loved it but heard so much hype about the green one so I exchanged it for the green and didn’t like it at all. So now I’m back on the white one and couldn’t be happier!
 
Thanks! So I take it the case went on over the skin without too much trouble.

Thanks for posting that pic, I’ve been looking for a direct comparison of the two colours.
I just got mine delivered and found the 11 RED to actually be quite pinkish. I really love the XR RED (which I named XRed ^^) with its darker red color, but the 11 is too much imho... already ordered a skin to cover the back side glass+camera section... I'm mostly interested in the red frame anyway.

That was my concern with my red and that’s why I returned it for a black.

a great idea of covering the back and leaving the sides. Please post pics when you’ve done it.

hopefully a deeper product red is released again in future.
 
Black, 128 GB. :) I got it from work, so can't complain.

Feelings so far:
- The display is fantastic, despite being LCD I think the colors may be just as good if not better than my X.
- The phone has a great premium feel to it. Feels better than last years XR.

However, I just think this phone is too big. I threw a case on it and it's just massive. Decided to go caseless and we'll see how that goes.

I much prefer the X/XS/11 Pro form factor to be honest.

Want something kept OTHher than black this time. Decided on the Red. Went to the Apple store to look, The red is gorgeous this year. More Candy Apple Red like the old Muscle Car color. Ordered the 128gb for 50.00 more through my Chase Rewards!!
