If so how’s it held up? I’ve tried countless protectors of all costs and I’m not happy with any of them. Some are better than others but I’ve never had this many issues on an iPhone. So before I peel it off and go “naked” has anyone straight up cracked the phone easily?

I, like many others, was on the hunt for the perfect hard shell clear case, as Apple's has an exposed bottom and Caudabe no longer manufactures the Lucid Clear. I came across a couple of suggestions about ROXX, and it ticked off all the boxes - metal buttons, polycarbonate case, covered all sides, didn't yellow. I ordered it without hesitation after reading/watching all these great reviews, and it was really good - until one day I removed the case to give it a wipe down, and noticed that there was a permanent mark in the MagSafe circle on the back glass. No amount of scrubbing has been able to remove it - it's completely smooth so it seems like there's actually been some sort of damage underneath the glass, presumably from the magnets in the case.

I tried to contact the manufacturer (ROXX), who operates out of Germany and has basically no customer service, and they kept pointing me to Amazon for a refund/replacement (which is absurd, as I purchased this in April and it's now July). Amazon has refused to offer any sort of compensation beyond $5. Back glass replacement out of AppleCare is $219CAD.

So here's a heads-up to all those who are looking for the perfect clear case - ROXX is not it.

I’ve looked through about a million options for screen protectors for my new phone, and they all seem to have issues for one reason or another. It’s impossible to tell the purchased reviews from the real ones anymore. Does anyone have a brand that you reliably use and why do you love it?

I wasted 4 screen protectors of two different brands so far, one of them being Spigen, which before never disappointed. But they all don’t stick around the edges. There is always some small line where it won’t stay on.

Never had that problem before. I don’t like the full screen screen protectors, which cover the rounded edges of the phone. Partly because it doesn’t go well with the case, partly because they tend to collect dust under the rounded edge part of the screen protector. But most of the available ones on Amazon seem to be full screen, so finding non full screen ones was hard enough. Now I can’t even find one that fits.

Any recommendations?
