Recommend me a high quality iphone X case please!

[Flying machine]

As above really - I've got an adequate rubberised thing at the moment, but it's looking a bit tatty now and I'm looking for a high quality replacement. Ideally leather. Tried the Snakehive ones in the past for a previous phone, but the plastic case inside the leather wallet fell apart, and although not expensive I didn't feel that it was impressive. Any suggestions for a new one are most welcome!

I have one of these

Now it isn't "high quality" in that it isn't a looker, but it has soaked up everything and looks as good as new and is a nice flush fit - and I'm one of those very OCD types about "saggy" bits of rubber on the side of the case that the phone slides in from.

Don't waste your time with an Apple case, I did and they're utter ste IMO.

Hmmmm... tricky one.

If you use a 'book' type cover, i.e. one with a flip over lid, then your call quality will be rubbish. The flip over cover, when bent backwards over the camera lens, obscures a microphone that is used to suppress background noise - the result is a call you can't hear properly.

You are therefore left with a fixed cover or a wallet type cover.

Beyzacases are one of my favourites:

Second thoughts about posting as they might seem a bit expensive, but looking at the stuff above it's not much more - I always buy Noreve. https://www.noreve.com/en/1358-iphone-x

Got a flip case, and had one for another phone for years before that - getting a bit of patina now but otherwise perfect condition after 3 years, they are very well made. I don't mind vertical flip as I don't use the camera much, but they also do horizontal, wallet, pouch and shell for the X.

I wanted extra screen protection so bought one of these when I bought an X. I didn't realise until I received it that the cradle part is held by magnet so you can pull it away for a less bulky solution. I'm happy with it.

I use a Torro case. It’s very tough good looking and every bit as good if not better than the leather one from apple but a lot less money

Shame they don't do that for the X - looks a nice case.

The XS is identical to the X. I have an X Mous case on my XS

Got my girlfriend a Mous case, phone is still undamaged after 8 months which doesn't sound like much but it really is!!

Phone sits in a gel layer round the inside which I think makes a big difference and it's a really tight fit

That case is only for the XS Max - which I assume is different to the X?

I have a Mous in carbon fibre. No issues so far, dropped a fair few times!

This is not actually correct as I found out to my detriment when I dropped my XS!

The dual camera/led unit is slightly bigger on the XS. It actually rubbed against the bottom of the opening for the camera when I used a Bellroy X case.

I didn’t think this would make much difference but the phone bounced out of the case when I dropped it.
