I noticed the forest green is sold out for the XS... anyone know if they discontinued it or will it be back? I am really upset I missed out on this color.
Got a tip for us?

Nope, it was seasonal for fall 2018, thats past, its now sold out and won't come back unfortunately.. they just released new colours for summer 2019.
Your best bet would be heading into a local Apple Store and seeing if they have any stock left on hand - the stock displayed online is different vs what's in the store. Or a 3rd party retailer

Amazon has some refurbs. I wouldn't discount going with a non-Apple brand. For the most part they are pretty much identical.
E-bay also has them.
Refurb is the top link and there are 4 left:

Sorry I didn’t even notice that. Those things are hard to find. I was looking for a black one for my X and it was impossible. I went for another brand for half the price and am satisfied though.
Good luck
The package alone looks fake enoughI bought a “knock off” from eBay.. seems like its genuine though?
I had one of these fakes from eBay and I hated it with a passion. The leather felt very odd and just even felt kinda gross. Hard to explain but kinda rubbery, a bit too sticky for leather, and just felt bad to the touch. Hope yours is better!
It feels ok, I have never had a genuine one to compare with though. It smelled off at first but it actually smells like leather now which is sort of strange.
Going off the eye-test, the case itself looks like the real thing. If it's fake, they did a really good job. Have you thought about purchasing a Surphy case in forest green? https://www.amazon.com/SURPHY-Protective-Metallic-Microfiber-Compatible/dp/B07P1G9PG9 It has good reviews. I almost pulled the trigger, but one review scared me away. They mentioned that they dropped the case and there was white underneath the green, and there is white around some of the cutouts indicating it's not dyed all the way through.

Ill probably get that, thanks for sharing. I have determined mine to be fake for sure. The camera cut out is poor and the inside etching is slightly off!

Going by that pic above, the camera cutout looks just a fraction too large, so purely based on that, I would say it is indeed a fake.
On my genuine Forest Green case, the camera cutout is almost flush with the camera itself (can't provide a photo as its on my phone!!!) with the camera sitting literally about only 1mm below the cutout. Your cutout seems a few mm deeper than mine (when I hold up my case right next to your pic)....
