I rest the bottom of the phone on my pinky, so a grippy back wins out slightly over slippery edges (Symmetry).
Got a tip for us?

Never owned a symmetry before... can you guys tell me if these are the new buttons or not? Thanks
Edit: also the XS MAX Disney otter box cases are on otterboxs site. 3 designs and all different from last years disney cases
Since the buttons are colored... they must be the nee design.
50% off on Speck cases today also.
Combine 3 or accessories for 25% additional off everything.
i'm waiting too and was told the same 1-2 weeks before the XS version is available.
Otterbox site also has a Boba Fett version with the new buttons.

Sucks that there’s no Kylo Ren case ):
Will probably just wait for the Black Friday sale @ target and hope they get some cases in

Yes, they are the newer design. Why did you have to show me this? I'm going broke over here.
$55.00 a crack and I'm going to need at least 2 of them.
Wonder if the Darth Vader image is etched or just printed on the back?

That black and red Vader....it almost got me. But I’m sticking with my slim and trim sheath.
Does everyone just go for the black color for the sheath ? the camo and navy gets no love ?
In stock at our local Best Buy, tempted to ride over (40 mile drive) and have a look.

Wow, that's far. The Best Buy near my office is walking distance, and the Best Buy near my home is four minutes!In stock at our local Best Buy, tempted to ride over (40 mile drive) and have a look.
My Sheath has supposedly been delivered, so I'll try to take pictures of the two cases to compare.
Ill take that Vader one anyday everyday. Pure orgasm lolVader or Stormtrooper

Didn’t end up getting either. They both felt like the stormtrooper / Vader decals were glossy stickers. $60 price hurts too.

"These aren't the [cases] you're looking for ..."
Yea, all I want are the red buttons and they aren’t worth $60.
I went earlier and checked them out at Best Buy. The Vader and Stormtrooper killed it. They both looked pretty cheesy. Too much gloss as you said and looked too cartoony.
I keep checking out the Mous case. Actually, I keep checking out the following cases:
- Mous Limitless 2.0
- RhinoShield SolidSuit
- Nomad Rugged
I can’t decide which one to buy on Black Friday...
Here are pictures of the Spigen Liquid Air (left) next to the Caudabe Sheath (right). The first few pictures are the phone inside the Liquid Air and the last picture is the phone inside the Sheath. The Sheath is definitely thinner than the Liquid Air. The Liquid Air adds width to the sides like the Apple Leather does. The Sheath adds width to the sides like the Spigen Liquid Crystal does. Although I like the back of the Sheath, I think I like the sides of the Liquid Air more; the sides are very smooth like glass but yet still has a nice grip. Both cases are TPU (I think), but Liquid Air feels like more like a TPU case than the Sheath does, and the sides have some give; the Sheath feels more like a hard case, so it appears to hug the phone tighter. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but even though the Liquid Air has the buttons covered, there are slits there (I don't know why they designed them this way). They're hard to see, but in some videos, as the reviewer is turning the case in their hands, you'll see a sliver of light pass through the button slits. I also managed to find a picture from MobileReview-Eh's site that kind of shows the slits. I definitely like the Sheath more than the Liquid Air. This is definitely a keeper for me. I think I might have found my last case. (Although I might eventually find my way back to the Pitaka MagCase.) I hope this helps.

I just received my sheath for the Xs, and it’s a great form factor. I actually find the case a little slippery, but it’s the thinnest and lightest case I’ve handled so far that offers protection for minor drops.
The fit is excellent, excellent balance between ease of installation/removal and stiff borders that offer excellent protection. Attention to detail is great. Buttons are quite responsive. Cutouts are precise and accurate. It’s quite thin and light weight, it weighs next to nothing.
It’s thinner and lighter than the apple silicone case, though I think I prefer the grip and texture on the silicone case. I will however be using the sheath because it’s noticeably thinner and lighter.
It does have the wrong symmetrical cutouts for the bottom mic though. I will be asking caudabe to send me the correct case when it’s available.
I will still be ordering a PowerSupport Air Jacket as soon as they’re released for the Xs though, I still think the Air Jacket in clear black is the best all around case out there. It offers excellent protection, it’s quite minimalist, and looks and feel great (well the one on my iPhone 7 did anyways!).
No love/excitement for the Air Jacket?
