I dislike the feeling of plastic, so even though they only last about two years before I inevitably degrade the corners, it’s the Apple Leather Cases with metal buttons for me. But about once a month I get jealous when I see someone going naked or with the clear case (a fresh one not yellow yet lol).

I am considering getting the Apple leather case, but the reviews I read here say that the phone pops out easily if the phone drops face down. This cheap onn case has a lip over the edge of the phone and so the phone is not easy to take out of the case. Thus I am guessing the phone shouldn't pop out of the case when dropped face down.

I think the Apple leather cases look really classy and am considering getting one if they get discounted on Black Friday. What is your opinion of them? The buttons on this onn case are very easy to press. It is a great case in my opinion.

I just touch my device so often throughout the day that I want to enjoy the texture and design.

I haven’t ever had it pop out, but I had the X, then the 11 Pro, and now the 13 Pro Max (my first with the flat sides, which for all I know makes the popping-out more possible for some) and have always used an Apple Leather case. I start to get worried about the popping-out when the corners degrade though.

I was using iPhone X with an Apple leather case and the case was amazing. It was way to grip, felt good in hand and was aging pretty well. After switching to 12 Pro first thing I did was to go get an Apple leather case. Long story short, it’s not similar to old leather cases in any way. I wouldn’t even consider getting one even with half the price.

Haha! I got mine in 30 min by driving to the store and picking it up. The next stop was the Apple store to pick up the phone.

If you’re interested, seriously check AliExpress. The quality is pretty good. I mean, if you like to have multiple colors and designs.

I have purchased many apple watch bands and accessories from there. Do you have a recommended seller for good cases?

I don’t have any sellers to recommend, sorry. I usually just search for cases and check the ones with best reviews/purchases!

In store. They have a clear one for the same price, a Magsafe one for $16.88, and several others. I wanted a really cheap one to carry me through to black friday and so picked this one.

Looks good but not sure that it protects the camera lens' when laid camera side down.
The camera glass looks a bit more proud than the case's protective camera surround.

The case camera lip protrusion is more than the lens. Below is a side view picture from the Walmart product page. Based on what I remember of the, Apple cases I saw in the Apple store, and seeing my phone with the onn case in hand, I believe the case lip protrusion around the lens is about the same.

I’ve been a big fan of the Mous limitless cases. They don’t ad much bulk and are quite premium feeling yet simple. I don’t believe the marketing hype about protection, but I also rarely drop mine(maybe once or twice a year).

I had a similar Otterbox case for my iPhone Xr. The failure point will be those joins between the silicone and plastic if you plan on taking it out at all. Still, it's a pretty good deal for $6.88.

I used to pull my iPhone X out of my pocket using the tiny strip of silicone between the charging port and the screen of the Otterbox Symmetry case. After about 3 years, the case broke at that point. I think that was a good long run. This case is not a dual plastic-silicone body like the Otterbox Symmetry, but still feels fairly protective (except for the lens area, but that is the same for almost all cases, including Apple's).

Top-Perspective2560 t1_iwxj2es wrote

Yeah, that was the other point for my one. Can’t remember if it was a Symmetry but must have at least been very similar to it because I know exactly what you mean.

How is the grip?

dimenicklecnt OP t1_ixx6iid wrote

I am fine with the grip. I would describe it as slightly better than my iPhone X OtterBox Symmetry case.
