Hi. I recently purchased Spigen ultra hybrid, and it caused a problem where it would interacts with the tempered glass so the sides are starting to gap. I need a clear case that is not too thick but protective, and importantly the lips not being too overlappy so it doesn't mess with the tempered glass so much.

Any recommendations? So far I'm looking at Speck's, Ringke Fusion, Tech21, Otterbox, or UAG even..
 
Ringke fusion is basically a slightly slimmer hybrid ultra. Similar styling and does look and feel slimmer on the phone - I had both and returned the spigen.

Caudabe Lucid clear also an option but may be too slippery for you, and mine doesn’t have any front lip so I’m waiting for their redesign to get it swapped over.

Do you have any info about the R.Fusion front lip? I thought ultra hybrid was at a good medium-level bulkiness (although slimmer would have been nicer), but the lip was what caused the problem really.

Power Support Air Jacket Clear. Unlike other clear cases, this one will not turn yellow. It is also not bulky.

I heard lots of good things, but also heard that it creates watermarks on the back side of the phone. How is it, and also importantly, the front lip?
 
Yeah, I bought the Spigen too and it was thick and hard to take off. It's not completely clear, but I really like my Incase pop case I received yesterday.

Im using a tech21 pure clear which is nice but my phones still naked in the front. Thinking of a glass screen protector or the impact shield gizmo by tech21... so take my

You want a big or small front lip? I think they felt similar - I wanted some lip to protect the phone when face down. They both had a bit of a narrow 'ridge' to them so you noticed it when swiping to go home, but didn't get in the way of it working.

As they're soft TPU sides, you could probably trim them down with a sharp knife if you wanted :)

Well, smaller lip than spigen ultra hybrid.. otherwise the case was fine. My tempered glass started to lift.. that was the main problem. I guess I could also appreciate a tiny bit smaller thickness of the case as well
 
I recommend the Ringke Air. Not as bulky as the Liquid Crystal. The upper and lower part of the case has lips to protect the screen.
 
Can anyone review the Totallee Spy or compare it to some of the other options like Power Support Air Jacket or Caudabe Lucid Clear?

What do you mean by watermarks? You mean humidity? It has been clear for me since I got it and looks and feels great. Don't like using those gel cases which turn yellow after a few days.

One thing I haven’t liked about clear cases in the past, is stuff like lint gets in there and looks bad. Are they better these days?

Can't comment on that now since I just got the case and phone set up 2 days ago. So far all looks great. I guess you have to wipe the phone daily for either case you use.
