Hello guys,
So I had the chance to try multiple iPhone X cases, and I wanted to share my thoughts about one that I think stands out, and not for good reasons. I don't usually post negative reviews, but I feel like you might benefit from my experience with it.
The case can be found on Amazon here -> https://www.amazon.com/Anker-KARAPAX-Semi-Transparent-Wireless-Charging/dp/B074BTQDWK
Anker's new "Karapax" line has some pretty interesting offerings. From screen protectors to cases, it looks like they're aiming to distinguish their high-end accessories. This iPhone X case however fails in the high end part.
The case is called "Semi-Transparent" but the Apple logo and the iPhone color are not noticeable unless in direct light.
Moving on, the case gets EXTREMELY greasy within minutes of normal use. I know that a case won't have an oleophobic coating, but the mix of material + color make it incredibly noticeable.
And lastly, the overall feel of the case is just bulky, despite the fact that the case isn't really providing much protection. It is obviously a lot better than rocking the phone naked, but this is no drop-proof case. In addition, the buttons feel mushy and a lot less responsive, and the fact that there is no lower cutout means that the swipe up gesture isn't a smooth experience.
So that is pretty much it. As much as I love Anker, I would honestly look somewhere else.
