I just can't do it. I wish I could but I can't... The clear case is outstanding but it just has too many limitations.
1. It is extraordinarily clear compared to 3rd party brands. I don't know of any case that will better show off your new iPhone.
2. It is a fairly unique blend of rigid with a bit of flex. This is NOT a flexible rubbery case, it is much more like a almost fully rigid plastic case with just a hint of flexibility.
3. This rigidity also means its lacks the soft material that tends to yellow in other clear cases. Ancedotal stories from last year's Apple iPhone XR clear case say this case either doesn't yellow, or barely yellows over time and certainly performs better at staying clear than almost any other clear case on the market that isn't fully rigid.
4. This case is TIGHT. It is TOO tight. Once your iPhone snaps in it requires huge amounts of force to take the case back off. This leaves the case open to cracking... I needed to take off the case to remove some dust I missed and despite being very careful a corner of the case developed an internal visible crack (you can't feel it, its inside the clear plastic but very visible). This case will NOT be easy to switch on and off with others, once you put this one on you won't want to take it off if you want it to last. I worry if dust gets under the case how are you supposed to take it off to occasionally clean without damaging the case?
5. The case is unbelievably slippery. This is the most slippery case I've ever seen for an iPhone. I literally couldn't lay my iPhone on my couch and press the screen without the phone sliding away like a puck on an air hockey table. I feel like I'm going to drop the phone all the time, much more so than even if it were naked.
6. It shows finger prints like no tomorrow. The back gets greasy / ugly within minutes although it is very easy to wipe off on a shirt or pant leg and clears right up.
To summarize? The moment you snap it on you will love it but it goes downhill from there. Although it fits like a glove, is crystal clear, and likely won't yellow it is too tight, prone to damage being removed, shows fingerprints very badly and is the most slippery case I've ever owned.
