What cases are you guys using?

Using the OtterBox Symmetry on mine, nice and slim (don't want it to feel like holding a brick) while still protective if needed.
Yeah buddy, that's exactly what I have too. I like it a lot.
Just like you described.

Yes, I am not clumsy nor do I drop things.

And I don't walk around with the phone in my hand either like a lot of people seem to do.

Spigen Tough Armor on all our phones. I used to use otterbox but I was becoming unhappy with their quality. Especially for the price.

I'm gonna check them out.
I had $200 worth of free merchandise and the case I have now, the Otter Symmetry is what I got, so it was free.
Although, I am very happy with it.
But, I do like the sound of that Tough Armor.

They make great cases. Had them on mine and my wife's phones for the last couple years. I won't use anything else now!

It's over 6 1/2" long

162.3mm is 6.38"

Unless the case makes it over 6.5"

And it could as I know mine is 3/16" thick at the edges so it would add 3/8" to the length with the case.

So it looks like it would be 6.75" overall with the case...

So yeah, too long.... :(

It will fit it without the case.. And that is a thin case....

Was looking and there seems to be plenty around that will fit it, but not with the case on it.

There are some very thin cases around, but....

It is a rather large phone... Tall....

There are thinner cases around, but they kinda defeat the purpose of the case.

Unless you don't care about drop protection.

And the one we have is already pretty thin.

The OtterBox Symmetry is one of the better cases on the market and not bulky, anything thinner than that you get into the decorative cases I think.

I think your phone is just too big. :D

I have a new case coming soon for the IPHONE 11.

Rebel Case https://phonerebel.com/

Even slimmer and lighter, but with even better protection and survives 50 FT drops onto concrete. :cool:

Saw a video were they were testing cases, using the IPHONE 11 Pro, they dropped it 3 times from 50 FT onto concrete and the phone was fine.. Was the same phone and case for all 3 drops, impressive.

I heard they are developing cases now for other than IPHONES so keep an eye out and or think about.
