Case is clear and not too bulky. Does seem to scratch easily on the outside. But does protect your phone.

I have used these cases on my work and personal iPhones. I like the “clear” look. I was able to buy this latest one at half price which as a good deal. The case offers good protection. It’s a nice tight fit on my iPhone X. My four star rating is due to how easy the back shows scratches. Past ones eventually discolor which I expect will happen to this one.

I hate bulky or over designed cases. This is nice because it is transparent, light, but still provides good protection.

I bought this case a year ago while waiting for the industry to catch up to the new iPhone X. I wanted a battery case but since I bought this one and am so satisfied with it, I haven’t replaced it. It’s well built as I have dropped my phone a couple of times and it was well protected. I didn’t give it a five star ratings, because the outside material makes it difficult to take out of my pocket. However, it’s the same “grip” that allows me to hold on to the phone.

My son has had one of these on his 8 plus. It’s worked well for him when dropped. I don’t plan on dropping my phone but I know this will protect it.
The clear transparency of this case allows some of the beauty of your device to shine through without compromising its safety.
They’re kind of pricey but it’s worth it.

Great Protection for the iXS

When we bought the iPhone XS for our daughter, we originally were looking for a strong case with some pliability to it. The iXS is all glass so we opted for this harder and clearer case. The phone gets used a lot professionally and our daughter also uses the camera feature extensively. Between this clear case and a ZAGG shield, the iXS is fully protected for everyday bumps and would be bruises.

Finally got my XS was worried it wouldn’t fit despite the review that said it didn’t fit. Fit mine fine camera fit. Will admit buttons are stiff and it’s a little tricky getting it on and off. But besides that great protection shows off you’re phone and stainless steel bands. Had for iPhone 7+ clear speck loved it and beat it up. Would expect the same from this case.

I chose this case because it is clear and shows off my gold iPhone! Of the three clear cases that I looked at, this was the best choice to me because even the sides are clear. My only complaints are that it’s a little slippery compared to my last case. Also, it’s already slightly scratched. But, it is protecting my phone, which is what it’s for.

Protects the phone well and because it’s clear you can see the phones color well.
Disappointed as it scratches easily! I always carry it in a lined phone case, or it’s on my desk with a plastic protector on the desk and it’s still shows many small scratches.

I bought this for my little brother. He's in his teenage years, and my wife and I decided to get him an iPhone. We agreed to go to the "cheapest" iPhone 8. Cheap is relative because the iPhone 8 is still pretty expensive. So we wanted to make sure that it never breaks, but we also liked how it looked. This case, at least in the beginning, allows you to see the Apple logo and the color of the phone, while still being durable. However, after a few months, it does start to discolor into a red-pinkish color. It happened to my case as well, (I have the same for an iPhone Xs Max). But my phone and my brother's phone are still looking good when we take the cover off, and I've dropped it more than once.

I've had Speck cases for the last 5 years and the presidio line is awesome and I've never had a cracked screen because of it. This one in particular looks really clear and it says that it doesn't yellow over time.

Solid case overall. It provides enough protection for most drops, doesn’t make the phone bulky, but does come out past the screen enough to provide some protection.

Most of clear cases are thin and not very protective, not in this case! No pun intended! This is a great case, sturdy, protective! I recommend it!
