Hello,

Anyone’s using a clear back case for your iPhone 8/8+?

I got an Otterbox Statement case for my space gray iPhone 8+.

I like it because it has good protection without adding too much bulk and offers a great grip.

The only thing I don’t like about the case is it scratches so easily even though Otterbox is marketing it as “scratch-resistant.”

What do you think is the best clear case for iPhone 8/8+?

Being using Spigen Liquid Crystal for my 7 Plus and 8 Plus. Love it!

Otterbox symmetry clear case is the best. It is a kind of similar to the statement one but no leather.
 
Did the Spigen Liquid Crystal turn yellow after a while on your iPhone 7 Plus? The only thing I worry is that it will turn yellow after a while (which I hate).

It did turned yellow a bit, but I didn’t really notice it until I take the case off the phone, maybe it’s because I used it on a jet black 7 plus.
 
After trying a few others, I’ve kept the Spigen Ultra Hybrid - 2nd Generation - Crystal Clear. It gives a decent grip and lets you see the phone.
 
Hands down Ringke Air. It is very thin yet offers button coverage and the price is like $10 and for those with space gray iPhones, the smoke black version is the perfect mix of clear and gray. Therefore the case does not turn yellow over time.
 
Just got this one for my 8 Plus:

So far, so good. It's thinner than the Spigen Liquid Crystal, but I kind of like that. It feels more like a naked iPhone.

I normally love the Spigen cases, but I got one from Amazon that was very yellow out of the box (the kind of yellow that occurs in a couple of months with cases like this). I emailed Spigen with photos, but no reply. Amazon listed it as "second generation," but the box is labeled for a 7 Plus.
