Apple Silicone Case (for iPhone 11 Pro Max) - (Product) RED

My threshold for buying an iPhone is $300 for a used/renewed unlocked Pro Max. When an upgrade to what I’m shooting gets to this price I upgrade. The icing on the cake is I get the superb Apple silicone case for $10 vs the egregious price Apple charges for new models. Great grip, great protection, long lasting. Only downside is it’s a bit sticky in cotton pockets.

This is my first Apple silicone case. (I've had iPhones since the iPhone 4.) The iPhone 11 Pro Max is large and a bit heavy, so I wanted to go more minimalist than my usual Speck Presidio Grip. (And the Speck cases this year have fugly colors.) The pros and cons of this Apple silicone case are pretty much the opposite of the Presidio Grip cases. Both are good, they just serve different needs. The Apple silicone: Pros: - Very classy, one of the few cases that matches the phone in simple elegant attractiveness; very much compliments the phone's appearance; the case doesn't dominate the phone's look (a Presidio Grip, for example, is all you see, so you'd better really like it!) - The Pink Sand color I got, though a bit more pink than the photo, looks fantastic with the gold iPhone. - Lighter weight than a military-grade case like the Speck Presidio Grip. Adds very little weight to this heavy phone and very little bulk, too, which is nice. - Compared to a Caseology Waterfall case I just ditched, the Apple case is MUCH more comfortable to hold and view. Very well finished - no rough spots or sharp edges, nothing too plastic-y feeling. Nothing shiny that distracts when using. (Presidio Grip cases are well-finished and comfortable, too.) Cons: - A bit less grippy than I expected from silicone. (Still weirdly attracts dog hair, tho.) Admittedly, I am used to the super-grippy Speck Grip cases, so this may be unfair. If you want super grip that just sits in your hand with no need to grasp the phone, tho, go with the Speck. Nothing beats it for that. - Obviously less protective than a tank like the Speck Presidio Grip. The pro of being lighter weight and less obtrusive means. of course, that it is less protective, especially on the bottom edge. This is not news to anyone, naturally. Just a trade-off. I am curious to see how durable this is and how safe it feels, especially wrt the bottom edge. But it is classy and light and I do like that so far. Got it cheaper here than from Apple and at this price it was a good value.

Came quick, and was suspicious because the price was only $7! But it looks great, feels amazing and great quality. The color is accurate!

fit and fills great. Also the color is perfect.

Perfect! Look and fit

This case was alright, it felt nice and everything and worked good, even dropped it a couple times and my phone stayed intact and unharmed. However, it only lasted like 3-4ish months before the rubber started wearing away on the corners. It was super cheap though so I’m not complaining.

Like a lot of folks, I spent far more on other less expensive cases before purchasing this case . I have the 11 Pro Max. After all that time digital window shopping, swapping cases, I finely purchased the Apple case and I'm happy I did. I was initially looking for style over function. The case I had on my iPhone showed just how impractical it is when I started working from home. You already know the reason. What I found was I couldn't pick my case up by the sides without dropping it on my desk. Once, twice, not a problem. However, after almost dropping my $1,200 phone on the tiled floor, this was the last straw. I'm sure I checked out the silicone cases but I'm certain I noticed the price more than the case itself. It's great. It fits perfectly, it's not "gummy" in the hands, it's smooth but "grippy" at the same time. Since I purchased it, I haven't come close to dropping my phone. That was my biggest concern. I don't even think about that anymore. I highly recommend, especially, if you just purchased the latest iPhone, that you don't waste your money on less expensive cases. Buy the real thing and never worry about dropping or damaging your latest investment. I know what I'm saying. I have made this mistake too many times now to ever make it again.

Great case. Have tried other silicone cases, best one so far.
