Currently have a pouch and use a skin on my Xr. Think want a case now as well. Used to get the silicone one from Apple as good quality.

I don't want bulk, want it clear, see Apple finally has the clear case out, but in UK it's £45!! Really not sure it's worth that and wondering if there's any clear cases that come close, if indeed the Apple clear case is quality as well as haven't seen it.

The peel cases advertise "thinnest" about and quality, the Xr is £20, anyone got one for Xr? Or is Apple one really the best?

Also will these cases work with a skin on the back?

Thanks
 
Yeah they're super thin. Its as thin as you can essentially get polypropylene without it becoming useless. Depending on the color decides grippiness. There are chinese providers out there that sell high quality apple logo'd silicone cases since they dont make any for the XR.

Thanks, just looked again and on peel says 0.3 thick. There's lots on Amazon say the same, I'd prefer one with logo on if possible as thin as peel, do I have any suggestions or links please?

Used to actually sell these kinds of cases, they’re all the same really. Get what you can afford.

Don't mind paying for good quality case. Used to but Apple leather and silicone ones, just find the clear one to be too expensive, but if it's different/better than rivals happy to get that.

So you think all the Amazon ones are roughly same? I'm wanting a non bumper/drop one, basically as thin as can and if a colour with logo on.

If you want Silicone cases with Apple branding head to eBay. Browse lists which mention they have the logo or retail packaging.

If you want ultra thin polypropylene cases head to amazon.

I’ve personally fallen in love with the silicone cases from EBay. They are of retail quality (check out my ports in the “What case do you want for your Xr thread)

Peel is a dropshipping brand. Sites like Aliexpress or even eBay offer the exact same cases, with different colours, for fraction of the price. We're speaking $2 or $3.
 
Hello. This is my first ever post on MacRumors.

Just chiming in. I have the following case, and I can't imagine anything being thinner than it. It's crazy thin:

TOZO for iPhone XR Case 6.1 Inch (2018) Ultra-Thin Hard Cover Slim Fit [0.35mm] World's Thinnest Protect Bumper for iPhone XR [ Semi-Transparent ] Lightweight [Matte Finish White]

I don't actually use it since I'm a tiny bit too paranoid. I don't use super thick Otterboxes or anything, but this one is almost like not even having a case, apart from scratch protection.

It's pretty nice otherwise.
