You know what time it is! ‘Tis the season of giving (aka treating yo’self).

To keep our promise of gifting tons of top-notch iPhone cases, we’re kicking off December with another Instagram giveaway.

The iPhone XS and XR case giveaways were a smash hit. Now, it’s finally time for the iPhone XS Max case bundle. Cult of Mac hand-picked six wicked cases from UAG, Just Mobile, Encased and Caudabe. Plus we’re throwing in a super-tough 3D tempered-glass screen protector.

Here’s the lineup in our iPhone XS Max cases giveaway:

1. Urban Armor Gear’s Monarch in solid black

We’re starting off strong with Monarch, priced at $59.99. UAG’s case encompasses a premium design and precise engineering to provide a case that meets double the military standard for drop and shock protection. This thing is practically built for war.

  • Handcrafted, feather-light construction with five layers of protection.
  • Top-grain leather and alloy metal hardware.
  • Soft, impact-resistant core and honeycomb traction grip.
  • Tactile buttons and protective screen surround.
  • Meets 2X military drop-test standards.

2. Urban Armor Gear’s Pathfinder in stunning slate

Similar to Monarch, Pathfinder is up for any challenge. It’s UAG’s prime example of gorgeous design and formidable protection.

  • Armor shell and impact-resistant soft core.
  • Feather-light composite construction.
  • Tactile buttons and easy access to touchscreen and ports.
  • Scratch-resistant skid pads and screen surround.
  • Meets military drop-test standards.

3. Just Mobile’s TENC Air in crystal-clear

Combining a crystal-clear hard shell back with shockproof thermoplastic sides, TENC is specifically designed to protect glass-backed iPhones – offering all-round protection from bumps, scrapes and dust.

I’ve been using TENC for months now, and it still looks brand new thanks to Just Mobile’s self-healing patent.

Reviewed and tested by Cult of Mac, this case packs a serious punch in protection while maintaining Apple’s gorgeous design in all its naked glory.

  • Anti-scratch hard shell PC back.
  • Shockproof thermoplastic frame.
  • Lasting clarity and anti-yellowing over time.
  • Corner air cushions for shock absorption.
  • Raised corners for back and lens protection.
  • Covered buttons and precision sensor cut-outs.

4. Encased’s Nova Hybrid in solid black

The all new Nova Hybrid case brings together the best of both worlds: serious drop protection wrapped in a sleek premium design.

  • Anti-slip matte surface gives secure comfort in every grip.
  • Impact-resistant TPU inner frame with grip texture and PC bumper guard.
  • Responsive easy-press buttons retain the iPhone’s original button click and feel.
  • Precise port cutouts for easy access to all functions, ports and controls.

5. Encased’s Rebel in solid black

Rebel is a true beast. Drop tested at 10 feet, it’s built to exceed tough military impact standards. With its strong, scratch-proof housing and shock-absorbing lining, the case effectively diffuses shock energy away from your device before it causes damage.

  • Raised lip guard keeps the screen recessed and out of harm’s way.
  • Rugged all-in-one protection with an impact-resistant outer frame and sure-grip TPU subframe.
  • Precise port cutouts for easy access to all functions, ports and controls.
  • Easy-push buttons retain the phone’s responsive button click and feel.

6. Caudabe’s Sheath in classic navy

Sheath measures a mere 0.9mm in thickness, yet drop-tested to 6.6 feet. Manufactured from ShockLite, a soft, gel-like, flexible polymer with excellent shock absorption, Sheath is exquisitely slim yet still provides cushion for your iPhone from everyday drops and tumbles.

  • Soft, matte texture that strikes the perfect balance between great feel and excellent grip.
  • Lip that extends ever-so-slightly above the screen for added protection.
  • A thicker, reinforced wall around the charging port to reduce wear over time.
