There seem to be many haters. I personally like mine—my only complaint is the lack of protection on the bottom edge. Two things I want to point out that are not usually mentioned:

1. Apple's case is of higher build quality. Most of the cheaper clear cases (ESR, Casekoo, Torras, Spigen) are constructed from two separate pieces, an edge bumper and a back plate (see photos). Apple's case is one solid, continuous piece, which is better for aesthetics and durability (my last iPhone's case started falling apart this year, see second photo).

2. It's $35 on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DGHH7S34). You don't have to pay $50 on Apple's website.

Not here to convince anyone to buy the case or start a debate, just wanted to share the knowledge.

Hey everyone!
I just ordered the official Apple Clear Case with MagSafe (also called the acrylic clear case) and I was wondering… what’s your experience with it? Does it offer good protection? How does it hold up over time (yellowing, scratches, grip, etc)?

Also, if you have any recommendations for other clear MagSafe cases (preferably ones available on Amazon), I’d love to hear!
Looking for something that still shows off the phone but offers decent drop protection.

Thanks in advance! 😊

So bought the official MagSafe clear case from Apple for my 16 Pro but man does it feel unfinished.

1. Super slippery. Like to the point where I’m better without it. Wear moisturiser? The phone will slide out your hand.

2. Buttons are just not responsive, especially the power button. They all feel very stiff and not tactile or clicky.

3. Feels loose. This case just doesn’t fit snug. There’s parts of the case that just feel loose and not stuck to the phone. This point is honestly what is making me want to return the case. Picking up the phone you can literally feel the case wobble the slightest bit as if it’s not on the phone firmly enough and honestly just does my nut in.

These 3 points plus the fact the bottom isn’t covered are making me look for alternatives. Anyone got any suggestions? I did actually buy the Spigen one before my phone arrived but it felt a little too rounded so went with Apples as it has more of an edge.
