Best case for dry hands?

Anything silicone based will be better. I know the Apple ones can get “stickier” over time as well.
If you end up going with the rebel gen 3, get the crystal clear case. the frosted case is much less grippy.
I swear by the LifeProof FRĒ. Sure, it's a bit pricey but worth every penny. Be careful if you buy from eBay as there are a lot of fakes and they're just rubbish.
The thing for me is I'm looking for cases that have a grippy *back* texture. Not sides. I've tried:
- Spigen Thin Fit - This has always been my go to case on previous phones. The matte back texture on it is PERFECT. It grips like a sticky surface. Only downside is no magsafe.
- Smartish Gripzilla - This was OK. 95% of the grip is on the sides of the phone. The back itself was pretty slippery.
- Apple Silicone - Too slippery with dry hands.
- Apple Leather - This was decent, better than the silicone surprisingly. But once my hands were dry it was GG.
You can add some of this to any case.
There are many different kits available.
I don't know if it would interfere with Magsafe.

Otterbox Defender Pro has the absolute grip of any case out there. It's a tank but the grip is phenomenal.
OP - did you ever find anything that worked? I, too, love a phone case that is grippy/sticky on the back. Generally the clear TPU ones seem to do best for me, but even then my hands will be different levels of dryness. As long as they have some moisture in them a lot of the cases stick well. But when they are super dry (for me generally at the end of the day/nighttime), almost any of them get slippery.....
