I want a clear case that shows my gold XS Max. I got the Spigen Liquid Crystal and the brand has always been reliable for me. However, I did notice, it has some form of dot pattern to avoid watermarking which isn't too noticeable, but it is there. The sides are pronounced, but it is a very nice case.

I have heard a lot about Caudabe and how it is very sleek and might be less bulky. However, it seems that it doesn't offer as much protection. I have heard that it is clearer though. Anyone here who has tried either or both that can offer some tips?

EDIT: Will also consider the Ringke Fusion or Power Support Air Jacket. Peel and Totalee are too thin and don't seem to offer enough protection.

I heard the Caudabe Lucid Clear is really slippery. Also, the buttons aren't covered, if that's important to you. I'm not sure how much protection you're looking for, or your price range, but I would consider the clear OtterBox Symmetry: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/otterb...e-iphone-xs-max-clear/6287817.p?skuId=6287817 or the Speck Presidio Stay Clear: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/speck-...e-iphone-xs-max-clear/6287917.p?skuId=6287917 (although I heard the Speck one is really, really hard to remove).
 
Thanks. I actually don't have a screen protector because I am very careful with my phone. However, I have dropped it a few times. I would say the gripability in the Spigen is better than my Apple leather case, which I did drop at times.

The Spigen Lucid Clear seems like a good in between because it shows the phone and protects it well; however, I also had a Ringke Fusion and Air Jacket which was good. I'd say my biggest gripe is the side lips show (plastic) so I was wondering if there was something with less bulky sides which also protects well.
