Got my Spigen Ultra Hybrid today. I am not really happy cause the volume buttons are really hard to press. The Apple Silicon case does a way better job on that part.
Got a tip for us?

Do you have any problems pressing the side buttons given that the case seems to sit pretty flat relative to the buttonsPeel clear 'hard' case. Terrible photos from my iPad.
A good 'clear case' comparison review here:
The biggest issue I found with the many clear cases I tried was the water mark effect created around the SS band. The ones with dimples just didn’t look clean enough. Ended up getting a ringke solid black air s and now the beauty of the phone is fully covered...
Spigen iPhone 12 Pro Max Ultra Hybrid Clear. Minimal fingerprints, great button feel.
Amazon has it for $11.99.

I do like the Supcase, though wow do I hate the name. I was dead set on the Caudabe Lucid Clear and even was about to order it but found it out of stock. But the Supcase has me rethinking it as it's the more... practical? case. It will definitely provide better protection at the expense of not looking as good as the Lucid. But I gotta say, it doesn't look half bad and seems to lack their entire life story printed on the side (looking at you Spigen).
Off the back of the video I posted, I ordered one of these:

I've had it a week now so I can give some good impressions:
Positives
- excellent snug/tight fit, no flappy edges or gaps
- very thin fit (0.04inches) but still thick enough to give adequate protection against daily use
- in-built corner bumpers
- all buttons/cut-outs line up and the buttons are are easy to press
- good sized raised lips for; a) camera protection and b) face down screen protection
- excellent VFM @ £15
- microdots aren't visible
- on the Pacific Blue it gives off a feint blue tinge (a bit like white LED lights do)
Negatives
- the very feint mould line that runs round it. It's not that visible, so to the untrained eye you don't see it, but once you know it's there you see it.
- it's quite glossy/shiney in appearance so it attracts visible greasy fingerprint marks.
- because the fingerprint marks don't disperse, it can sometimes become quite slippery, especially if you use it a lot.

I also added that one to my wish list, based on the video. Good to read your review!

Totallee ($39) vs Amazon Generic ($9) ANLCQC HD Clear.
Both are as thin as I have found as I have used Totallee in the past as it is not made for drop protection but rather for scratch/bump/grip.
The only real differences I noticed:
* Generic weighs 1g more
* Generic has dot matrix on the sides and back while Totallee only has the dot matrix on the back
* Generic has a loop/lanyard on the lower right side
Other than that, very difficult to tell one from the other in hand.
Totallee went back as I can buy 4 of the Generic's for the price of one Totallee. Both will yellow as I have not found a clear, soft TPU case that does not.
Generic case pictures are first, then Totallee, then a comparison of each side by side.

Is this one really CLEAR? The reason i am asking is because i had both Peel Clear (hard) and Totallee Clear for my iphone 11 pro max and even though i liked peel because it was thinner than totallee, the peel case wasnt as clear as the totallee. It was somehow a bit cloudy. Did they change it this year??Peel clear 'hard' case. Terrible photos from my iPad.
