Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Designed for iPhone X/XS Case, Clear Hard PC Back TPU Bumper with SHOCKPROOF Air Cushion Case for iPhone X/XS - Crystal Clear - 5.8 inches

UPDATED: FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I DROPPED MY IPHONE X FROM 1.2m/4ft UPDATED: 14th February 2018. SECOND DROP!!! Last night, (13th Feb 2018) I dropped my phone using the classic "put it in an inside pocket, miss the pocket and watch it drop!" This always happens when I use my motorbike jackets with liners in. The slit in the liner isn't attached to the actual pocket, leaving a gap. The phone fell from chest height, I'm 6ft (183cm) so it must have been 5ft/1.5m. As I caught the end of my phone falling onto the pavement and landing face down, I was expecting at least a scratch on the glass and the edge of the case. On close inspection there is nothing, no damage at all. Isn't that remarkable? If you're still debating whether you should buy this case, then what more proof do you need? Unfortunately, today, 1st Feb 2018, I dropped my brand new iPhone X. It wasn't even a week old! As with most of my drops, they've been getting in and out of cars and on and off motorbikes. Today was no different. As I was closing my car door, I somehow managed to drop my new phone onto asphalt/tarmac in a shop car park. The phone landed face down (YIKES!!) and bounced underneath my car so it was completely hidden from view! Imagine the colourful language that ensued as I watched my phone bite the dust, allegorically! Fortunately, a passing lady picked it up for me, since after major surgery I can't bend....See swearing can be useful sometimes! Yeah, yeah, yeah, get on with it, "what happened to your phone?" I hear you ask. NOTHING. Though having said that at the time I didn't have time for a close inspection or deep scrutinising of said phone, but it did look OK. When I got home I removed the phone from the case and there isn't a mark anywhere on my phone! Additionally, it would be expected that the case would have taken a bashing and got scratched up. However, the case is TOTALLY UNSCATHED too!! I was expecting some impact damage or at very least some scratching on the case, but it's still in perfect condition. THERE YOU HAVE IT. IGNORE SPIGEN'S DROP TESTING. DOTTORE HAS DROP TESTED HIS IPHONE X FROM 1.5m ONTO ASPHALT/TARMAC AND THIS CASE PASSED WITH 10 STARS OUT OF 5!!! ================ ORIGINAL REVIEW Initial impressions are that this a great case for such a small outlay. I have to get something of my chest first before I continue with this review. Why do people spend £1000 on a phone but then put it in a cr@ppy case? People spend less than £100 to protect their very expensive case and it makes no sense to me. Then they go on and moan on Amazon reviews how poor the product was. What do you expect for a tenner or a fiver? Now I've got that of my chest I will firstly tell you why I have spent £8.99 on a case....It's a temporary solution until my hand made leather case arrives from Spain. You can buy Piel Frama cases on Amazon, but if you want a custom one you have to go direct to the manufacturer. Now, on with the review. As usual, Amazon Prime proves valuable, with yet another "Free" (actually inclusive not free) delivery. The case arrived less than 14 hours after ordering. Well done! The case itself feels nicer than a Tech 21 clear case that I used as a temporary case on my iPhone 7 Plus. That was OK, but the Spigen Ultra Hybrid feels like a whole level up. Firstly, the Spigen case comes wrapped in three layers of protection. The first layer is the card box, then comes an opaque plastic bag, finally there are two plastic films to be removed. The first plastic film is on the outer rear of the case and the second, is on the inner of the case where your phone's back will rest. This for me tells me that the manufacturer wants the case to be in A1 condition when you receive it. Considering my Tech 21 case (for my old iPhone 7) cost 3 times as much the Spigen puts it to shame. The removal of the films is a little fiddly and there is a worry that you might scratch the surface with your nails. However, I'm quite kack-handed and I managed to get them off without damaging the case. The case fits snuggly on my phone looking almost like a second skin. There is no gap between the back of the case and the back of the device. Others have mentioned scratching on the silver bezel after time. However, I've only had the case on for 3 hours and have no intention of removing it before my nice premium case arrives. I think that the scratches reported may be due to constant removing and re-installing, but that's only an unproven opinion. The phone looks magnificent in this clear case. I gave my phone a good cleaning with a good quality microfibre glass cleaning cloth before I put the case on. I also cleaned the inside of the case. The overall effect is a very good looking case/iPhone X combination. The actual iPhone X is very slippery and definitely needs a case. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid Clear Case gives excellent grip. I don't know how much protection it will afford my phone, but I think it'll be adequate if I'm careful, which I normally am! At this point in time, that is more or less on first installation, I would highly recommend this case. Now, I am going to say something about the iPhone X since I am not allowed to leave a review since I got mine from my network provider, (hopefully this will not be bounced by Amazon!) The iPhone X has had a lot of hype and I upgraded on an early upgrade plan because the deal was too good to turn down. A small part of me wasn't really bothered about having a shiny new phone. I've been with my provider for over 10 years and have multiple devices, so I always have the latest iPhone available. However, with my iPhone 7 Plus, I started to think that there isn't much more that you can achieve with the current technology. This means that there would only be incremental improvements in devices from now on. So I am not as excited about the iPhone X as I have been with getting my first iPhone 6 Plus. In terms of looks, the iPhone X looks like a 3 GS mated with an iPhone 4. So we have the nice curved (Chrome on mine) bezel from the iPhone 3GS and the glass back of the iPhone 4. Thus it's hard to get excited about the looks of the case because we've seen it all before. Frankly, I think the best case form factor was the original iPhone/3/3GS with the nice curved back which snuggled in your hand. These new iPhone form factors from 6 onwards, are very slippery and definitely need some form of case. This is essentially a design flaw because the "naked" iPhones always look expensive and well designed, so it's always a shame to hide them away. It's early days yet as far as the lack of a home button goes.I don't really think this will pose a problem in the longer term. What is a bigger problem is a lack of instructions on how to operate the iPhone X with the new gestures. They flash up once, or not at all, then you're stuffed! Last night after I finally remembered my encrypted back up password, I had 20 Apps open and didn't know how to close them! In the end, I had to go on a Mac fan website. This isn't good enough. Why was there no online manual as they've done in the past? I searched iBooks and now, 3 months after launch there still isn't a manual available? I think it's Apple maximising profits. Producing an online manual costs money, like the printed manual they used to supply. Now they demo and inform the review websites and tech journalists and they effectively do Apple's job for them. Face ID....I know that's what you want to know about. I must admit it's pretty cool, if almost magical, how the phone unlocks. It's so unobtrusive that you have to double check it's happened. Of course, this is not new technology using a sensor array that fires beams of individual light at the object/face. Microsoft did it with the Kinect Sensor in the Xbox 360, many moons ago. However, this implementation is very accurate and refined. When I woke up at 0500hrs this morning, in the dark, my phone unlocked at first attempt. They say that the algorithm adapts for glasses, hats, hairstyles and ageing. I have unlocked the phone with neat hair, and bedhead hair (and believe me my hair is wild in the morning!) It's also unlocked with my glasses on and off. I also used it for Apple Pay twice yesterday. The first time was surreal, the second time was simple and much quicker (in terms of the communication between phone and reader) than my old Touch ID 7 Plus. Thus, as far as Face ID goes, it is an improvement. My wife, son and myself have had hours of fun doing funny messages on animoji messaging. It's not exactly a reason to buy this phone, but it's great fun. The super duper pooper OLED Retina screen doesn't seem any better than my old iPhone Retina Screen. My wife still has an iPhone 7 Plus, so I should really compare them, but it hasn't really knocked me back with improvement. The form factor which as everyone knows buy now, allows more screen space than a Plus, in form factor smaller (in height) than a Plus, and not much bigger than the regular size. However, whilst this is true, the width is smaller, and just like the Japanese cars which are precariously over the centre of gravity, the iPhone X doesn't look right. This is because of the height to width ratio looks abnormal. One of the nice things about an iPad is the fact that you can (almost) fit an A4 document in portrait orientation. On the iPhone X, the screen doesn't feel right or comfortable to look at. This impacts the size of the keyboard when typing in portrait. It does however, feel easier to hold than a 7 Plus! The screen isn't a reason to upgrade. There don't seem to be many good quality apps at present which can take advantage of its features. I'm sure this will change over time, as much as I am certain that the iPhone 8 will be the last iPhone with a Home Button (maybe 8S might survive). An iPhone 8 Plus with no home button would be something to get excited about, but I'm still not excited by owning this phone. I have yet to try the camera, but I think it'll be the same high quality that I'm used to. In short, I don't think anyone upgrades unless they're due an upgrade, but if you buy your phone outright, wait until the next iteration comes out!

My favourite iPhone X case to date. This case provides a good balance between protection to the iPhone X, including camera and screen (via raised bevel edges) with allowing the beauty of the phone to shine through via its crystal clear transparent design. The case is a fairly stiff but still pliable flexible plastic, so shouldn't crack too easily. It also appears to evade scratches, helped by the discreet raised corner 'feet' on the rear side. The case is a tight fit and takes a bit of flexing and confidence in fitting it to the iPhone X, infact considerably more in removing it. This helps though to minimise dust ingress around the edges. Having now had the case on my phone for several months, it still looks as new as the day I purchased it and offers good protection to the phone. I keep it clean with a soft microfibre cloth, it's also worth making sure you clean the phone and inside of the case before attaching it so as not to trap any dust or particles inside as they will be visible! The case provides full protection on all sides of the phone, the only apertures (openings) are for the mute toggle switch, lightning port, speakers and camera. The buttons for volume and standby/power are covered but are easily accessible through the case. A high quality and snug fitting transparent case that should resist cracks, scratches and protect your expensive iPhone X.

This case is 100% worth the £9 I paid. It completely wraps the phone around which gives the iPhone full coverage and protection so that it can stay away free from any damages. Also the feel of this case is very good. It has really good grip which is really good as it will not slip out your hand unlike other cases out there. This case feels durable and also looks premium. I recommend anyone who has an iPhone X or iPhone Xs to buy this case as it still gives it that premium look and protects your phone at the same time.

I’ve always had the ‘Apple Cases’ however, I only had my last case (from the store) For four months before the case began to break and the rubber on the back began to come off. Disappointing and expensive. Tbf non of the Apple cases I have purchased have been durable. I was dubious While purchasing a cheaper case. However, this case fits nicely, It is good quality and feels a lot more durable than the ‘Apple’ cases I have purchased before. I certainly won’t be wasting my money in the future on the ‘Apple’ case again

Sturdy case, but still elegant. Not too bulky but very protective. Clear design shows phone rather than covering it. Solid back with slightly softer sides, allows good grip. Used it for about 3 months and is only one small visible scratch, which is superior in comparison to other brands I’ve used in the past (especially since I drop my phone fairly often). Spigen cases are always good value for money, my family use them too. Would definitely recommend

I have been using spigen for years. Great quality, great price and they have never once let me down

I really like Spigen cases and I also really like the look of the iPhone X so wanted a case that would show off the phone's styling whilst protecting my phone. I bought this case with the promise of it being stain free. Within six months the edges had gone a horrible brown colour. I've bought another as I really like the case and know this is a problem with most clear cases but I just wish they wouldn't promise something that the case doesn't keep.

So it took me about two weeks to finally decide on purchasing this spigen case. I read so many reviews for this case and the ringke fusion case. Ive had both this ultra hybrid case and ringke fusion case for my iphones since iphone 5! But this is my first case for the XS! Dont believe everything you read... because this case DOES fit the iphone XS. You have to follow the instructions on how to put the case on otherwise you will fail like i did the first time i tried to put the case on. Once you follow the simple instructions it will fit perfectly! And i read comments that the stainless steel bezel is scratched by putting this case on... NO IT DOES NOT SCRATCH THE PHONE. Ive put it on and taken it off twice already and i only had the case delivered an hour ago. Im very happy with this purchase so far! Im going to take photos using another iphone and upload them so you can see what it looks like. Definately recommend if youre looking for a clear iphone XS case!!!

Çok kaliteli

First off let me say I am a hater of cases, so much so that I’ve always played Russian Roulette with my iPhones every time I took them out of my pocket. I was planning on doing this with my iPhone X since I purchased AppleCare for the phone. Everyone who owns this phone needs to realize that if you break the back glass on this phone, the repair cost is over $500 from Apple! Even with AppleCare, the cost climbs to $99 if you break that precious back glass. This alone made me reluctantly shopping for a case. I came upon this case after hours of researching the different cases available for the iPhone X. I was looking for a minimalist design that afforded enough protection while not intruding on the elegant beauty of this phone. I found that with this case. The one thing you will find about the iPhone X is it is slipperier the previous iPhones. I always felt like I was going to drop it if I did not have a firm grasp on the phone. The new stainless steel case along with the seamless edges from the glass to the case just makes this phone feel like it’s going to slide out of your hand every time you handle it. All of that is eliminated when you put the case on the phone. This case fits so well around every corner and button of the iPhone that you literally think it was manufactured by Apple at the factory as part of the phone. The crystal clear case actually accents the beauty of the stainless steel edges of my phone. My phone no longer feel slippery, while the minimalist design still makes it easy to slide it in and out of my pocket. There is enough material on the edges of this case, that I’m confident if I dropped it in a parking lot, I would not suffer any damage to the phone. You might scratch the case, but that’s about all. There’s a lot of peace of mind knowing you’re replacing a $13 case instead of incurring Apples insane repair costs! You can see the air cushion technology built into the corners of the phone case. They are unintrusive little air pockets. Think of them as tiny air pillows! As this review comes from a person who absolutely hates phone cases, I am now a believer in this one. I actually would buy it even if I was not worried about dropping and breaking the phone. Yes, it is that good! The phone actually looks and feels better with it on! Plus, the peace of mind it affords me is indispensable.

Como sempre a qualidade Spigen é de qualidade superior. Produto esmerado, com ótima transparência. O telefone fica muito bem protegido e envolvido na parte traseira, laterais e parte superior/inferior.

Es muy resistente y ligera, protege muy bien al celular sin quitarle estética. Después de un tiempo se empieza a poner amarilla, pero es normal por la manipulación diaria. He comprado tres veces la misma y en promedio me duran 1 año cada una, hasta que decido cambiarla por el color amarillo, pero nunca se ha roto.

Fast delivery and great quality. Was a bit hard to peel the protective lining off of the inside of the case, but once that was off the case is perfect for protecting your phone without taking away from the phone design. This is my third Spigen phone case, and I have never had an issue with any of them, the only reason I buy new ones is when I get a new phone. They are the company that I think of first when I get a new phone as I know they are good quality yet they don't cost a fortune.
