I like the raised corner bumps on the back too, should help slow the back from scratching up quickly by just laying it on the table. and the slanted edges from side to back of the phone.

and serves a little nook to rest my finger when holding

Spigen always makes pretty decent stuff year over year especially for the price.

I like that it's made in South Korea too, and not China.

yeah that parts not my favorite, nor the power button having some give - spongy /airy. the volume buttons seems easy though.

None are a dealbreaker for me however

-
what case ya gonna try next?

The Spigen Liquid Crystal seems to be the same case, except the buttons are different. It's also cheaper for some reason. I may give it a shot.

Spigen Liquid Crystal
 
Thanks for the Ultra Hybrid pics! I've got the Pro Max version of this delivering tomorrow.

I also love the little raised edges on the back; nice detail. Not a huge fan of the small text all over the place, but I'll get over it.

Me neither but at least no branding whatsoever on the back. That matters the most

its not quite.

Liquid Crystal has a dot matrix on the back and its all TPU. this is polycarbonate back (clearer), TPU sides. also with the former, the whole thing will yellow, with this should just be sides but hopefully not for a while.

I havent had a Ultra Hybrid since 7+ days, but the sides used to be way stiffer and almost polycarbonate/TPU hybrid. this is a relatively soft TPU on the side and should be easy to slip on and off.

I think ordering from spigen on ebay will be a bit faster than waiting for an amazon re-stock + ship, but ymmv

I got mine through spigen on ebay, ordered Sunday, shipped Monday, arrived today. same price as on amazon.

edit - looks restocked
edit2 - backordered a bit

hmm..I didn't notice the dot matrix. Thanks for pointing that out. I guess for ~$10, I can't really be too picky.

Going for the blue pro max this year. Last year had the Apple clear case for the 11, but found it too slippery so didn’t use it all too much. This years clear case I don’t care for the look of the MagSafe.

What has been your favorite non-yellowing, not too slippery and somewhat slim case?

Thanks!

I've got a tech21 case, seems pretty good. Feels fairly nice, looks pretty durable.
 
The apple clear case for me creates manic lens flare when taking photos. Is that just a known issue now? Without the case the pictures are perfect
 
a perk of (the right) clear case on Pro, is the stainless steel bands will stay pristine rather than finger print magnets

The clear soft case has no dots. Not sure about the clear hard case.

Just got confirmation from Totallee that it does indeed have the microdots. It's to prevent the water puddle look that clear cases used to get before this was implemented.

Let me snag a look at mine shortly and see if I can add a few pics.

its a double edged sword. I prefer ones without that dont have the water puddle look, without micro dots too

I think the brighter colors fare better with micro dots, but the darker ones look... eh.

Looking for a clear case with a belt clip, don't care what the clip color is.

Check out Encased Showcase Series Belt Clip with Holster. I don’t know how to link. Sorry. It’s on Amazon.

Totallee Clear Case for me every year. It's thin but still protective and doesn't yellow. Curious if it works with MagSafe. It just might because it's a bit thinner than other cases. If not, it's still a very good case.

How is it with scratches and fingerprints? Is it TPU?
