Amazing case. But I would request a more in-depth review please.
Got a tip for us?

That explanation makes no sense as Apple cases have been bottomless since iPhone 6.

They claim it's to make swiping up easier. Oddly enough I've never had a problem swiping up with my Spigen cases.

I guess you can refer to the second part of my post then. It is also easier to get the case on/off without the bottom being covered.

Apple's $39 silicone case has a velour interior, Apple logo, and is available in a dozen colors. This XR clear case is basically a third-party product with Apple pricing.
I can’t be the only one who finds the open bottom on the Apple cases uncomfortable. The location of the opening is in the perfect spot to uncomfortably dig into my finger while holding the phone one handed. That said keep going back to my Apple leather case because the rest of the fit and feel is so much nicer.
IMO - the bumper was apple’s best case design.

This x10 trillion.
Sorry Apple, it is hugely over priced and horribly late to the party as ever.
£45 in the uk for this! Hahahaha. That’s almost $57 US.
It was bad enough when Apple decided £1=$1 in their online store let alone this absolute p**s take.
Considering this case is absolute garbage and worth about $1 max apple have really lost the plot now.

Anyone who pays $40 for this should know that the Apple execs are all just laughing at them.

I had a xiaomi redmi pro. The official Xiaomi clear transparent TPU case was $2.99 delivered. It was extremely high quality and shows Apple are charging way too much.
Do you mean like every other case manufacturer has to do, but somehow can still design, manufacture, ship for a 10th of the price and still apparently make a reasonable profit?

I didn't care about this bare spot at all until Halloween night, when my 1 week old XS Max hit the curb with force exactly in that spot and cracked the screen all to heck. I was using Apple's silicone case.
I've vowed not to get another Apple case going forward. I want protection all around the device (while still being thin and lightweight). Their silicone case is entirely too grippy anyway. That was part of the reason I dropped the phone - I was struggling to get it out of my pocket to take a photo of my daughter. I was wearing a robe costume. It flipped out of my hand and hit the curb hard.
At least this one isn't grippy, but it still lacks protection there and costs too much. I can get clear TPS cases on Amazon for $10 that are more protective.
