    would say keep it in the case and send in. it's their fault for selling a case that led to a crack. and they'd know if you swapped out phones.

    Is it a stress/hairline crack or a large one? Usually as long as there is no fall/impact damage visible they will overlook it.

    I’d take your chances before shelling out $279+tax for a replacement

    Think I figured out what I'm going to do.

    Gonna keep my pre-order and then just do the payout to buy the X. The way things are set now I would be sending the phone back to Verizon as a part of the upgrade program for the Max. I owe about $500 on it still so I can just pay that amount, keep the phone while still getting the Max, and then sell the X on Ebay to make some of that back. I checked Ebay and the X is still going for upwards of $500 with a cracked back.

    2 pages behind but 128 GB should’ve been standard for baseline models. That’s what I had on my iPhone 7 and I still have 77 GBs of space left

    What’s everyone’s thoughts on the glass screen protectors? I use bodyguardz and swear by it. Remove it before resale and perfect screen.

    I don’t use one. Apple hasn’t yet dinged me for screen condition. The X has a lot more surface scratches than any of my others though.

    Ordered a red speck case.

    I've used screen protectors until the guy at Apple pointed out that a screen replacement with Apple care is actually cheaper than a screen protector. Scratched my x up pretty good though.

    I like a (faux) leather case with an open bottom, nothing near the lightening port or on the speakers. I have a cheap 10 dollar case off amazon that is perfect.

    Will be caseless on the max till better options are out there.

    It does but I’m kinda intrigued.

    I’ve had a otter box commuter on my iPhone 7 since day 1 and never had issues. I would like something with decent protection but slimmer.

    I have this for my x. Can barely tell there's a case on it. Dropped it a bunch and it's fine. Doesn't do hair for scratches though.



    I am a big fan of spigen liquid air cases as well.

    Pitaka FTW. As minimal as anything out there but exponentially more durable and mag mounts w/o blocking wireless charging. It has a raised lip for the camera but you’ll want to slap a screen protector to help with the edges.

    Think I'll probably just go with an otterbox symmetry. I've always done the commuter, anyone done the symmetry before?
