Anyone using Apple Clear Case with MagSafe !!?

This case is horribly slippery and the buttons are very hard to push. I’m only using it until my spigen case arrives from Amazon. Im very disappointed that this $50 case is horrible compared to the $12.00 spigen cases I’ve used in the past.
I threw mine into the drawer and will not use it since the buttons are difficult or a little bit more challenging to use. Very disappointed with Apple on this case. Now using the ESR air armor which is so much better.

Don’t do that... send it back. Free returns and get your $50.00 back! I just setup the return. Took 2 minutes.
100% agree with these assessments. Mine will be returned.
Just called Apple and will initiate a return. Only way to go I hope Apple will fix this issue
I see I’m not the only one. This thing is like a wet bar of soap and has slipped from my hands a dozen times.
Picked up the ESR clear case recommended above and absolutely love it! I would put it on the same level as Spigen which I have really liked their products in the past as well.
My analysis as well. I returned mine this morning. Sticking with the silicone case until the leather becomes available.
Just posted the same thing in another thread. The side button is SO difficult to press down, I will definitely be returning it.
I have never bought a Apple case but was going to this year cause of the MagSafe magnets. Not for charging but for the magnets to stick to my car mount without placing a extra magnet inside my third part case.
is everyone saying these cases are terrible this year?

I have the silicone MagSafe case in Cypress Green and I like it. This post is specifically about the clear case. It’s very rigid and hard, plus the bottom is exposed unlike the the silicone cases. I just didn’t like it. I wanted to but I just didn’t.
I'm returning my Apple clear case for a refund. It's a terrible case - the back of it is slippery as snot and the buttons are hard to push. The final straw is....The bottom of it has a large cutout.
Glad to hear it's not just me on the slippery-ness of this case. it's wicked odd...also, yes, very hard to press the sleep/wake button and a lot of times - I put my phone away and don't realize it DIDN't go to sleep. I also have Otterbox Clear Symmetry and a Commuter level case and I'll just stick with them - those have been my go-to for a few years. Thanks for the tip on returning it, too. At $50, it's no joke.
I purchased the ESR Air Armor case and been happy with it. Buttons have a great tactile response. The bottom of it does not have a cut out. The back of the case is not slippery. And the best part is....It doesn't cost $50.

Guess I’m the only one that likes it. Yes it’s a bit slippery but oh well so was the Apple clear case for my 11 Pro. The white circle on the back has even grown on me. Ive used many clear cases for several of my many iPhones. Every one has either yellowed too soon, scratched too easy or cracked too easy. Yes even Speigen as that’s the yellowed case my wife is using right now because she likes the grip of it.
I haven’t found a clear case I like better than the Apple clear case. I use to get Power Support’s clear case but they stopped fitting well and scratched too easy.

Thought i saw a couple people talk about the silcone too. Well i guess i can always return if i dont like it. $50 hurts for a case but oh well.
The Caudabe one is prob the best, thinnest and protects from 6 foot drops i have used before. the buttons are like butter. Like they are incredibly thin!

I am returning one of the Caudabe cases I got. My eldest daughter bought a 12 Pro and I was putting this case on her phone and it scratched it! And to add insult to injury it didn’t fit properly. Mine fit and didn’t scratch so I gave her my case. It’s the least I could do after scratching her new phone that she paid for from earnings from her own business. I felt terrible and even offered to switch phones with her since we have identical phones but she’s a sweetheart and said you can barely see it so don’t worry about it.The Caudabe one is prob the best, thinnest and protects from 6 foot drops i have used before. the buttons are like butter.

I also ordered screen protectors from them and they didn’t even tell me via email the screen protectors were back ordered. I found out when I opened the package this afternoon and it just had 2 cases in it and a printed note informing me of the back order. I’m pretty steamed about the whole thing.
I’m using the Apple clear case at the moment. I stuck a pop socket on it. Lol no it won’t charge with that on it but apparently unless I shell out another $20 for the 20 watt brick it won’t charge my phone particularly well anyway.
