Best clear cases for the X?

What is the name of the case? I saw a couple of different Incipio clear cases and I wasn't sure which one this is. I really like it!
Yeah, that is good support. Not surprised though. I've been using Caudabe cases for years and they've always been really good with their customer service. What's funny is some of us are complaining about no lip, and then there's some guy a few posts above claiming he doesn't like the current lip because it sticks into his ear. Typical Macrumors schizophrenia.
Meanwhile, I'm still loving my Lucid Clear. I'd post some photos but I have no other device right now. For a case that's this minimalist/invisible, a big lip would ruin the feel for me. I've also got a glass screen protector on mine so I feel relatively secure about my protection sitch. Still got that Caudabe Sheath waiting in the wings though. Definitely calling my name. Beautiful case.
Not sure. But if you look at the iPhone 7/7+ pages for the AJ, there’s a blurb about the tool. Just have to email them and they’ll send it free.

This is precisely why I've just tweeted Caudabe with a case design suggestion which has lips just on the corners.
Those corners will act as lay on the table 'feet' for the front (as the Synthesis' feet do on its rear).
Then, with the corners providing the unobtrusive lips, the sides/bottom/top can have no lip with the case finishing flush with the phone, which makes gripping the device easier from the sides, (making the wider form factor of the X compared to prior 4.7" iPhones more comfy to hold with less case for fingers to negate around), as well as having gestures uninterrupted on the bottom/top edges.
They responded saying it was a great idea & they'll pass it along....whether that happens is another thing
I threw away the box. But I'm pretty sure it's the "Incipio NGP PURE Cover for iPhone X - Clear" or the $19.99 one.
I'm happy with the Caudabe Lucid Clear after a few days. TBH, I don't think it'll provide much protection if I drop the phone, but I wasn't expecting it to. I just wanted a back/side case that would prevent scratches without adding much thickness, which it does. I supposed that raised edges would be nice, though I never put the phone on a surface face down. This is a big change for me, since I've had a leather case on every iPhone before this.
I have the clear view case from Luvvitt and I love it. it is not bulky yet has nice protection (lip) and has sturdy edges.

I just ordered this one from Amazon. Solid reviews and looks like it has good protection.

For those who have the Caudabe Lucid clear (or any other clear case), how does it look an the Space Grey? I’ve always used a black bumper w/clear back.
Thx for feedback!
Thx for feedback!
Well isn't this something...So I was looking over the case and cleaning it so I can some pics for you and just noticed the mute switch fell off. Completely off. No idea when that might have happened but I didn't even mess with it because my phone is on vibrate 24/7 I never use the switch. The case does look great though but needless to say I wouldn't recommend the case to anyone if a button falls off without me even touching it, especially considering the price. Yeesh.
Claims to have 6 foot drop protection, but certainly doesn't feel like it... That's the only concerning thing to me about this case. Either way, if I drop it and it breaks, I'll get it fixed through AC+ and then this case goes in the trash; will get a more protective one.

Yea this case can perfectly fit a screen protector so it looks seamless. Whether it had the 6 ft drop protection it claims is another story.Yeah, that is good support. Not surprised though.

Oh dear, that's not terribly reassuring. Funnily enough, the issue I'd read about with the 8/8+ version was that the mute switch was incredibly difficult to use. Perhaps for the X they've gone to the other extreme and it's too delicate!
Oh well, thanks for sharing your thoughts, they're much appreciated. If you do feel like posting some pics, I'd still love to see them, but I won't be ordering this case unless the price drops substantially or Lifeproof sort out the quality issues.
Yeah, I've got the Lucid Clear on my silver iPhone and it's fantastic. A buddy got the same case on his space gray iPhone and also looks great although it seems like fingerprints are more noticeable on his.
I have a silver X as well. Would you mind taking a few photos? I wish it was for sale on Amazon, because then we would also get those customer photos in the reviews.
Yeah, fingerprints are quite noticeable. I don't know if any hard, clear cases can do better, though. It would take a textured or translucent material to avoid that, and then you wouldn't be able to see through the case as well.
Those are beautiful pics and a good writeup. Nice job. I just got my X and the Caudabe Lucid Clear too. Definitely an elegant case, to steal your words. Very well designed.
Man why dont they just sell one ith lower lip and another with higher lip? Problem solved! lol
