It’s probably not thin enough. I still haven’t found a case thinner than Peel and Totallee. I’ve been ordering clear cases from AliExpress to see if they are thinner.

So far I have this one from AliExpress which feel thinner to me than the Peel and Totallee and have better grip.

not finding it in US
Hm.... maybe not available there?


It is really amazing esp the protection of the camera part too. They even send a description with it on how to put it on and off so that it doesn't break. It is such a tight fit so it can protect the phone better when it falls. But on dark iPhones the transparent case looks a little milky, not 100% transparent. Looks better with lighter phone colors. There are other colors too but those have mattish finish.

I wanted to go caseless with my 12 Mini as it is very grippy and small + light, but I dropped it two times now, nothing bad happened but I decided to go with a case now, this one is (almost) perfect, wish it would be more transparent though.

+ Cutouts of buttons and bottom almost perfect.

Check this case out. I had this for my X and loved it! it gives me some protection but shows off the sides.
I probably could have found ti cheaper on Aliexpress but didn't really know about Aliexpress when I ordered this one.

Looks interesting, anyone have one and care to comment?
 
I use the SwitchEasy 0.35 ultrathin slim fit cover.

Perfect fits and cuts, grippy material and clicky buttons.
Enough raised front lips and camera lips.
Just don’t ever drop the phone with this case.

It took me about 2 weeks. I have other cases so it didn’t bother me, but I can see how a person with no case would think.

I recvd my case. It’s awesome! Good top and bottom coverage as well as face drops. Sides are exposed which is great.

please please please don't fall for totallee or peel. They're gloried drop shippers buying bulk items worth $0.25 to produce in CHINA!! I bought $8.99 case on amazon and there's no difference. I also have a $1.29 from aliexpress and again, no difference from those over priced cases. So please don't give them your money.
Where do they sell the one you bought ?
 
I don’t know if you’re interested in bumpers, but I purchased a clear bumper from AliExpress and I love it. I have a glass protector on the back and a camera lens protector since I’m using a case that don’t protect my camera or back. That same bumper is on Amazon for $10.99 vs the $1.99 I paid on AliExpress.

Go on amazon. Honestly they are all the same literally. There little to no different between a $2 case on aliexpress, a $12 case on amazon, or a $25 case from tatallee. They are literally the same thin material.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I have already checked sites, but haven't found yet.
Will be great knowing some sitelinks selling ($2 - $12) clear (hard) thin (± 0.35mm) cases made from Polypropylene Plastic (PP), do you have some ?

Have you tried AliExpress? I now get my cases from there. I have a few Caudabe cases that I haven’t used since July. I’m more fascinated in showing off the Pacific Blue color, so I’ve been using different bumpers since then.

Im going to try the bumper from aliexpress.
 
Which is better? Caudabe Veil Frost, Peel, Totallee frost or something else?
I have always used clear Spigen Ultra Hybrid cases - which show off the phone really well - and often been frustrated by the gap between the case and the tempered glass protectors I've applied... I just ordered and applied amFilm's screen protector and - not only is their application system as easy as advertised - the glass easily leaves the least gap I've ever had between it and the case, on my iPhone 13.
