It definitely looks like small cracks from the bending impact 😬 You’re stripping it wrong.
That’s probably true! LOL
I ended up returning the clear case because of the issue I had. As much as I liked the look and really wanted a clear case with open bottom, I decided to go with the leather case for now, like I’ve done for all my previous phones. I don’t get to see the midnight green now but at least it’s not as slippery and I actually like the aluminum buttons. Makes it feel more premium for me.
