Looking to buy off Amazon (US). The only clear case I ever had was the Speck Presidio and I hated it, it was extremely slippery to hold. Since then I have been using Speck Presidio Grip cases which offer great grip but are slightly heavier than I would like. Plus I want to go with a clear case for my upcoming iphone since I am getting either Midnight Green or Gold to show the color off.

I'm not interested in the Apple clear case because I have read it makes the buttons hard to push. Some I have looked at online are:

Spigen Ultra Hybrid Clear Case
Spigen Liquid Crystal
Torras Crystal Clear
Ranvoo Clear case

I have never used any of the brands I just listed and I am open to any suggestions. I have been looking online researching but without being to actually hold any of the cases I'm not sure.

Basically looking for a clear case that:
-Is grippy to hold
-buttons are easy to press
-not overly bulky or heavy
-can be bought on amazon (US)
-offers reasonable drop protection (I always use a tempered glass screen protector as well)

Info on any cases, even ones I haven't listed, would be greatly appreciated.
 
Check out Ringke; they have a couple versions. Been happy with the grip.

Also try Smartish. Grip is excellent.
 
Liquid crystal is super grippy! I swap it between my otterbox symmetry and it. It’s way grippier than the otterbox
I have read that its supposed to be a good case, period. Glad to hear it has a lot of grip. Right now that is probably my top choice. Thank you for the info.
 
I just ordered a Tech 21 Evo Mesh. A review I watched on YouTube said it was very grippy.
I have looked at the Tech21 Pure clear case. Looks I think the same as the one you mentioned, but clear. Is another option for me.

i wouldn't say the Tech21 pure clear is very grippy - it can be the total opposite as its a hard plastic. Don't know for certain but I think the evo mesh is a different material which is a bit more 'sticky'

Good to know, thank you very much for the info. I guess I can cross that one off my list.
 
I got the Tech21 Evo Mesh case today for my XS and it is definitely grippier and less slick the other Tech21 cases I tried. Completely different than the Evo Check and Evo Rox I tried before. If they have it for the Pro I’d suggest it.

I will definitely look to see if Amazon has it, imagine they would. I will probably get at least two cases anyways.

Thank you for the feedback.
