tech21 Protective Thin Evo Check Pattern Back Case Cover for Apple iPhone Xs Max, Smokey Black

I love these Tech21 Evo cases. I had one that lasted through 2 iPhone modes (about 4 years), even though the camera was in a slightly different place. The camera hole was just large enough to accommodate the minute difference in lens placement. While using that case, I dropped the phone more than once, on a variety of surfaces including asphalt, cement, etc. The case did its job and my phone survived each fall without harm. I did also have a Zagg Invisible Shield for glass protection as these cases are not meant to protect the glass from scratching.Based on the terrific performance of my last Tech21 Evo case, when I recently sank a ton of money into the new iPhone XS Max, I ordered the Tech21 Evo Check Case immediately. For a couple days I used the phone without a case; it was slippery and I was in constant fear of dropping it, plus the camera sticks out on the back so I feared scratching the lens if I set the phone down. Also, it didn't sit level on a counter because of the lens poking out of the back. New case arrived, all problems solved! My phone now feels secure in my hand, the case is just a bit thicker than the lens on the back, making the lens recessed and giving it some protection as it doesn't touch when I lay the phone on its back. The only thing about which I worried is that the bottom of the case has some give to it once it's on the phone. However, it hasn't been a problem in the 9 days that I've been using the case. Because of the speaker, microphone, and charging port that cover almost the entire bottom edge of the phone, there wasn't much room left for the case, but Tech21 managed it without covering anything.I got the "Ultra Violet" color and I love it! It's a rich, vibrant violet and it still shows the color when combined with my Space Gray phone. The Amazon picture is not great and the color swatch you click to select the color is very misleading. The color swatch looks like lavender but when you hover, it says Ultra Violet. There is a lighter purple version (called Orchid) for those who want that. Check the Tech21 web site for better illustrations of the colors and how they will look on a phone.Overall, a terrific case. I'm a big fan based on past experience and I'm loving my new case too.

By far my favorite iphone case. These are super protective, but thin and sleek at the same time. Not bulky at all, and it feels really good in your hand. I have a few other cases from this brand that I really love. really good price for the quality as well!

Had these cases for my first iPhone years ago and still good. Not too grippy and it’s thin and flat but it does add a bit of bulk to the sides

This is the best case for the XS Max imo. Slim, sleek and durable. This will be my second Tech21 case. My first one lasted five years. It still did its intended job and I could’ve kept using it, but it started to look war torn as I did put it through much stress over the years. It treated me well by keeping my IPhone safe to say the least. Highly recommend.

I like it, button covers are a bit stiff but hopefully loosens.

This is the only cover I’ve ever had that protected my phone from damage for over 3 years. This is a repurchase. However, they changed it a bit. You need a real firm grip now to work the side buttons on the phone. It’s gotten frustrating. Love the protection but its other functionality has decreased significantly. It’s a shame. I used to be a raving fan.

I have only used Tech21 cases. The last. I have dropped my iPhone on the floor, on the sidewalk and on the asphalt and no damage to my phone. Love these cases.

Feels sturdy and has a good texture to grip onto. Lightweight and unobtrusive. I had one for my previous iPhone as well, it's a great brand. The edges of the case wrap slightly around the front bezel and create enough space that it protects the screen, even if the phone falls face down. I got the Vert color, it was a little more blue than expected from the pictures, but I still love the color. Overall very happy with my new case and highly recommend it!
