(Part 2) Top products from r/iPhoneXsMax

I’m currently using a gear4 d3O case. I don’t drop my phone much but when I do, this thing protects it like a champ. But if you happen to be clumsy with your phone and don’t mind the thickness of the case, then I highly recommend the Otterbox Defender Series. If you don’t mind spending a little more money, go with the Defender 2, it has an anti microbial protective outer shell. Another product that might prevent you from dropping your phone often is the egrips phone grip . Hope that helps.

I was in the same place about a week ago. I wanted something slim that also added a bit of grip. After trying a few others I settled on Caudabe Veil XT. It's ultra slim and has a nice texture that makes the phone a bit more grippy. But keep in mind that's basically a thick skin and I doubt it'll offer much drop protection.

I also got a blue leather Apple Leather case. Looks great but it's a bit more slippery than I expected.

As for screen protectors, I wanted something that was edge to edge.I found this iCarez protector that has been great so far.

This one has been amazing!! Don’t cheap out on a wireless charger, make sure it’s Qi, and 10W!

I have these two and I love them. I have one at home and one at work. Both were under $20.00 each.

Good to hear you're not affected. My max arrives on the 4th so I'm not sure if it has the charge issue.

Got the OEM Apple USB-C cable and the $50 Anker 60w USB-C on the ready. Thinking about the OEM charger. After dropping $1,450, what's another $60?

I’ve used both of these brands. Both are good in my opinion. Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector [with Installation Kit] Designed for iPhone Xs Max (2 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HRZPYP2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_rBqwCbD2HJMTP

This is the one I just ordered. It protects the full screen (notch as well). TETHYS Glass Screen Protector Designed for iPhone Xs Max (6.5") [3-Pack] [Edge to Edge Coverage] Full Protection Durable Tempered Glass for Apple iPhone Xs MAX Guidance Frame Included (Pack of 3) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FQY28GR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_8DqwCb7MMGHJT

No bubbles and covers screen perfect paired with the case. No gap between the protector and case. So far dust doesn’t collect.

I use Zagg brand. They're actually glass, I've used the same one on my Xs Max since launch in September and there's no peeling, chips, or wear-and-tear. Also they will replace it for free, all you have to do is pay shipping. (like $5) I highly recommend it, it's the only brand I have ever used.

Is this one a good car charger?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079L1KKLM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZQJwCbAD117GT

I got this one, it comes with a QC3.0 adapter which many don’t include and it’s USB C. Really nice build quality.

I went for this Samsung wireless charger and it works great.

Just use this on my nightstand and have no issues at all.

I have this one and it's been great. No need for fast charging since it sits there while I sleep..

So here's the case I bought and it comes with a tempered glass screen protector [click me](http://ITSKINS Clear Case Compatible... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FYQLC3L?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf)

And here is the screen protector I bought, this is the one that's on my phone right now. Notch is exposed but it doesn't bother me

I like this from Aukey: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019OSX8UC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_oXaYBbVEMZ1BQ

If you want the protection and built in screen protection of an otterbox without the added bulk..this is the way to go. The rubber is firmer and doesn't get lose and flimsy over time...and most of all, check the price! Me and my wife get these cases for all of our devices and have never had an issue.

Unicorn Beetle Pro

I’ve used this phone and watch charger for over a year with zero issues


Bestand 2 in 1 Phone Desktop Tablet Stand & Apple Watch Charging Stand Holder for Apple iWatch/iPhone X/ 8 Plus /8/7 Plus/ iPad, Space Grey https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01JRCYI18/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_q1LIDb0C1GM8G

They even do a version with an AirPods lighting connector

This is the one i use. I have about 5 of them all over my house and in my office at work. They are great!!!!!!

PLESON Fast Wireless Charger... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZYLQ2TP?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Home fast charging:

Purchase this official Apple lighting to c cable: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MKQ42AM/A/usb-c-to-lightning-cable-2-m


Purchase this Anker 30w brick: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-Delivery-PowerPort-Samsung/dp/B06Y427WT7


Note: I linked a 2m cable. There are 1m cables available too. The cable has to be a lighting to c cable from Apple to trigger fast charging.

I suggest a coat of Resolene:

Google 'Resolene' on youtube for tips on how to apply.
