I tend to drop things, and since my go-to grip case for my iPhone XS was not updated with the other variants, I decided to try The Sheath. This is the best case that I have used to date, and I have owned many. I have accidently drop tested it several times with no ill effects to the phone or The Sheath. Fits snugly, doesn't show dirt or fingerprints and there are no marks so far even from drops on pavement although YMMV. The only complaint that I have is wobble when using it on my granite counter so my new 13 Mini will sport another brand of case that has 3 bumps on the back to reduce or prevent wobble. If not for the wobble, I would definitely be getting The Sheath for the Mini.
