Best clear cases for the X?

So I'm going to be testing 3 clear cases over the next few weeks: Caudabe Lucid Clear (Crystal), Grafixpressions (grfxp.com) Ultimate Clear Case, and Orzly FlexiCase.
First up, the Orzly FlexiCase. For $10.99 on amazon.ca, I think it's pretty dam good! Here's some pictures (I have the Orzly tempered glass screen protector installed on it). Some initial observations:
- easy to put on
- fits very well, nice and night
- no bubbling on the back when installed (it has a micro dot texture on the inside of the case which you can't see unless held under the right light at just the right angle)
- there is no (or minimal) lip on the front, so the front won't be protected if laying screen side down
- it should be compatible with most screen protectors (it is with the Orzly, and those screen protectors cover the entire front face of the phone)
- the buttons are covered by the case, but are still very easy to use. everything lines up nice.
- the case attracts fingerprints a bit, but no more than the iPhone itself did (or other cases of a similar material)
- there is very minimal branding on the case, just a small logo on the bottom left side wall of the case, you can't notice it unless you're looking for it.
This was the cheapest of all the cases I got, but I think it could easily be the one I keep using! (planning to sell whatever 2 I don't want, or maybe give to friend)

Hey Guys!
Got the Caudabe Lucid Clear today for my Silver X as well as tempered glass screen protector from Maxboost.
The combination seems to work really well so far. The screen protector was super easy to install as it comes with a base so it is very hard to mess up the installation. Got a 3 pack on Amazon for like $11 so very well worth it.

Looks great, nice combo. I have the Lucid Clear too. Great case. I overpaid by a lot for the screen protectors apparently, lol. Oh well.
These are polypropylene cases, 0.35mm thick meaning the natural size of your phone will be undisturbed and durable enough to sustain your phone from damage that comes with everyday use, and polypropylene has natural resistance to liquid and oils making it slip resistant.

I ordered this from Amazon. Got it yesterday. I love it. Thin and clear. Has a good grip to it.

If I were to get an iPhone X, I would consider getting something like the upcoming Incipio DualPro Pure.
Can’t decide between the Ringke air;

Or the Spigen liquid crystal. Anyone had both? Which is best?

Both are full TPU soft cases and feel similar in the hand. For me the ringke was noticeably slimmer looking and the spigen seems a bit bulky.
I actually returned both and kept the ringke fusion which looked the same but has a hard back.
So to answer your question, I’d personally go for the ringke.

I got one this morning, I initially didn't want one due to the slits around the buttons.
Yeah it is a bit bulky, especially compared to my ESR Slim Crystal which I like but is just slightly off with the button fit.
My Spigen has a couple of dark dots I can't remove that is triggering some OCD.
Not sure which case I'm going to use now.....

Would really like a crystal case but with front side lips but with less or no lip on the bottom part.
Does such a case exist? Can’t use it without proper protection.

I haven't heard about a case like that. But I don't rely on the case (I have the Caudabe Lucid Clear) to protect the screen. That's what I use a screen protector for, though I never put the phone face down.
Just scared it drops face down. Without a lip a screen protector will most likely now work. Too bad such a case doesn’t exist.
You able to show any pictures?
