    He needs to travel to other stores sometime. Give more people a chance to meet him. I remember back in 2013 I believe, Woz was staying at a hotel on the beach literally 2 miles from my house. Didn’t get a chance to meet him, but it was pretty cool to know he was right here in a little town within a midsize city.

    The only other brand that I can think of that has this level of devotion, is Star Wars, with the fans waiting out front of theaters to buy movie tickets. 
    Maybe Harry Potter?
    No maybe, DEFINITELY Harry Potter :smiley: My wife and her brother are obsessed with the franchise and the excitement of meeting someone else who’s just as passionate about it rivals only SW and Apple loyalists.

    I bought my very first ever Apple silicone case just a month ago for my 6s Plus only because I needed a change and it was a discounted “open box” item at Best Buy and I gotta say, at first I liked it a lot. But after about a week, it didn’t feel the same. Now when I touch it, I feel like my hands are grimy and dirty. I feel like it holds onto dirt and dust and skin oils very easily. AND it pulls the entire pocket lining out of my pants every time I pull the phone out. It’s very annoying! 

    So I will be going back to a new Speck case (my favorite) unless.....I upgrade my phone. Im not a big fan of the notch or the rear camera, BUT.....stay tuned... :wink: 
    Conversely, I bought a white silicon Apple case for my germaphobic friend and her new iPhone 7 last year.  And, it still looks and feels great!   She discards stuff at the slightest evidence of dirt or grime -- but she still loves this case.

    I am impressed with Apple and this case, I never expected it a white case to hold up so well.
    That’s very odd LOL Yeah, I’m not liking it at all. It feels very dirty and the most annoying part is the pocket thing. Maybe she keeps it in a purse, that would eliminate that problem at least.

    They do have a beautiful, soft microfiber lining on the inside, though. And the shape has been holding up extremely well, no deformation around the volume buttons as is the case with a lot of other cases out there. So they did a great job there.

    I ordered the XS leather folio in black from Best Buy. For some reason they’re selling it for $49 in that color instead of $99 for the other colors. I jumped at the opportunity...hoping it’s not a mistake. 
    Nice! You may have got lucky. I will definitely not be buying another silicone case. I don’t care for folios, never have. I could try the leather one but like SJ said about the iPad, I’d hate to buy a beautiful product and then cover it up with a case. That’s why I usually stick with the clear Speck cases. Someone on here mentioned concerns before about clear ones turning yellow. They have a new one called Presidio Stay Clear. It resists yellowing.

    I just checked the Apple Store app. It says I can pick up a gold 512 GB XS Max at my local Apple store on Sept 21 if I order it now. That’s really odd seeing how whenever I pre ordered iPhones in the past, if I didn’t order right at midnight on pre sale day, I’d be waiting about a month.
    None of the Apple Stores in my area have any of the 512 GB Xs Max available for pick up on Sept 21. There are a lot of Apple Stores in my area. 
    I guess availability is spotty. No matter what, I’m sure these phones will be a huge hit, as always. I gotta say though, that new gold color is gorgeous. 
    Only with a crystal clear case will the beauty of the gold iPhone shine through.
    Very true. I’m sure those clear cases will be extremely popular. I was talking to a guy about his iPhone X about 6 months after he got it and he said he specifically bought the silver and always places the phone face down. He said he wasn’t gonna have a $1,000 iPhone and not let anyone see it LOL
