Apple - iPhone 11 Pro Max Leather Case - Saddle Brown

I was skeptical about purchasing one of these cases, but did so when they went on sale. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and feel of the official Apple Case. The leather is excellent, and feels great in the hand. I found it very necessary to use a case with the new iPhone 11 Pro Max because it is very slippery in hand. I didn't like the fact that it had the opening on the bottom of the case keeping the entire bottom of the phone exposed, but I quickly got used to using it this way, and it does not bother me at all anymore. I was able to get it on sale, which made it a must buy at the pice I paid, but even at the regular price of $50 it is a great buy, in my opinion. Highly recommended!

Grip: This case has grip. It feels premium. It feels strong. It feels grippy. Easy to hold. With a huge phone like the 11 Pro Max, you need a case that has grip. It’s thin enough & has enough grip to allow comfort using the phone. The case feels smooth and truly compliments the phone design. Complaint: the bottom of the case is exposed. This will lead to scratches to the bottom of the case. It’s also not protective enough against drops but enough to protect the phone from minor drops & definately against scratches minus the bottom.

I always used to have the Apple silicone cases for all of my old iPhones. I decided to go with the leather case for my new iPhone 11 Pro Max. I think I made a mistake of not going with leather cases with my previous iPhones. This case is fantastic. It fits perfectly. I was initially skeptical about installing Saddle Brown case on a Midnight Green phone but it goes pretty well with it. I'm extremely satisfied with the quality of this case. I think I'll be buying more leather cases in future especially the Forest Green leather case which goes even more well with the Midnight Green phone.

The case is pretty light, sturdy and fits like a tailored suit for the phone, the color is pretty cool. You can use screen protectors along with this case and its not a problem. The only downside to this case is that, since its a genuine leather case, it absorbs moisture and oils from your skin and over time it changes color where there's contact over an extended time period. But I guess that adds to the beauty of a case made of leather. Full disclosure: I'm a Best Buy employee and I bought this about a couple of months ago.

I bought the Apple Folio Case for iPhone XI ProMax 512gb at a discounted price. I had to have the iPhone replaced once; ironically it was in the Otterbox Commuter when the front screen was shattered and the back lense broken out. The Folio is made out of real leather that so far has provided great protection. I also have a glass protector on it just because I wasn’t quite sure of the sturdiness of a leather case, but so far it has done an excellent job. I am hard on my phones too and the case only shows normally wear and tear from use; it hasn’t stretched out worn out abnormally at all.
