I just ordered my iPhone 15 Pro and am coming from an iPhone 12 mini with a backless (aka bumper for those of you who remember that term) case. It's clear soft TPU. I'd like to find something similar for the iPhone 15 Pro but so far am not seeing anything (searching Amazon).

Also, I'm a bit confused about the cases with the visible magsafe ring...are these in any way better (e.g., stronger magnetic connection) than using stock iPhone 15 Pro w/no case (or a bumper/back-less case)?
 
Plenty on AliExpress. It doesn’t protect the camera so it’s not recommended.
 
There are actually some that are “taller” than the camera on the back side, just like any case.

Yeah, the one I've been using with my iPhone 12 mini has a back that is raised a bit higher than the cameras, so when lying on a table, the camera lenses are not making contact with anything.

Thanks for the link/suggestion. I see that's not a clear case, though, and I'm not sure what the material is. It's not silicone is it? I don't like those because they cause too much friction when pulling out of my pocket. But I bought the natural titanium phone and do rather like the way that looks with RhinoShield's graphite case and colored button options (e.g., neon orange). Boy, there are so many case options nowadays.

Yeah, I'll take a look there (and temu), too.

Yep, This is the bumper that I have on my iPhone 15 Pro Max! I love it . I had ordered it right away and they sent me a replacement bumper as they were not satisfied with how the haptic feedback was being experienced.

They even make a modular system case that can be configured as a bumper ov a case with a back!

Thanks. Can you (or anyone) comment on whether I'd be better/worse off by getting a case with the magsafe ring built-in as far as stronger/weaker magnetic connections? I could see wanting to use a car/vent mount or something like a magsafe-compatible bendable-leg "tripod" to mount to a pole temporarily and would need the magnets to hold tight.
