Can anyone suggest one? I already tried the Otterbox Symmetry for my iPhone 7 Plus. Turned yellow after several months and the sides loosened up. Same with a Ringke. Had an Otterbox Pursuit for my iPhone X, lasted 2 years before the sides started breaking into small pieces and they stopped making the Pursuit anyway.

I guess yellowing cant be stopped, but just wanna try other products.

THANKS!
 
i just got this for my Mini:

Smartish iPhone 12 Mini Slim Case - Kung Fu Grip - Clear [Discontinued] (See Newer Version Below)

Get a grip with Kung Fu Grip by Smartish. This case strikes the grip sweet spot, putting the odds against gravity ever-so-slightly in your favor. With its ultra-light and durable construction, it's both thin and protected. The corner air-pockets (think airbags for your phone) truly corner the mar...

It's nice and grippy. I previously had this case for my XS and it turned yellow within a few months, but they were quick to replace it. They said they have revised the case since then and added an anti-yellowing agent...but even if it does does change, they will gladly replace it under their warranty.

Is it still the 7 Plus you’re shopping for? If so, I had good luck with Caudabe Lucid Clear for my 8 Plus. I think that case fits the 7 Plus but you should double check with them. It is a solid clear polycarbonate case.

They are even having a sale. My children have Caudabe Lucid clear on their iPhone XR’s and I even bought some for their best friends’ phones (these kids are practically family, too). I’ve seen the Lucid Clears protect their phones and my old Xr and my 11Pro from some wicked tumbles.

However I don’t personally recommend them for the 12’s yet. I had some fit problems with the regular size 12. Also the flat shiny sides of the 12 Pros scratch surprisingly easily and therefore rigid polycarbonate sides may not suit well. Though I’ve never had any problems with rounded steel sides on my 11Pro.

I would prefer to hear from other people who have bought one more recently than I did, which was when the 12 Pro was released.

For now, I am sticking to flexible TPU sides.

I have this one...and it is tough. Has an inner frame that is then surrounded by the outer TPU. The Corners are air-gapped. You may need to use different screen protectors than the one that come with it (you have to put them on PRECISELY...even with the frame, it is hard to get them just right.).
