Really? Do you mind if I ask what you like about it? It has a great fit, but the clear back is a deal breaker for me.
Got a tip for us?

Back to the speck Presidio Grip! Black on Black everything. Hopefully I don’t find a reason to return this one and.......Go Dawgs!!!!
Fair enough. I need to grab one to get it out of my system
As long as it’s not wider and thicker than the Otterbox Symmetry, I should be cool with it.
That side button for the mute switch is one of the dumbest things i've seen. Talk about form over function........Not sure why you'd want to bring attention to something that (a) was designed to be a discrete button that's impossible to accidentally press in a case & (b) a button you hardly use, compared to the other physical buttons on the phone.
Also, it has to get caught in pockets, especially the more tight fitting ones on today's clothing.
Very impractical design by Catalyst, & a very poor attempt to stand out from the pack...
That sleek, timeless Silicone case makes the UAG look like the kiddy, fad of the month design that it is....IMO.More Spicy Orange.

Still my favorite case. Currently have the eclipse blue one on.

It feels wider than the symmetry because of the flat sides.
I take it your not getting this case?
I’m really intrigued by this case. I can’t put my finger on why though. Good to know. Spec wise it’s thinner though.
I’m really tempted get that catalyst case I do have 8plus came here see i put on it. Just became avaible for 8/8plus just totally unsure I seen size issues makin it bigger clear back worries me scratches fingerprints since I have space gray 8plus
I tried the Speck Presidio Sport (a Best Buy exclusive) when it was on sale for $20.

It’s not good. The silicone material seems more slippery than other silicone cases. The side button is nearly impossible to use. The mute switch knob is way too big. Poor design. Terrible quality.

First one I had included unusable buttons too. Had to take it to Best Buy and fondle then all until I found working buttons. I think they’ve since acknowledged problem as when I was in B.B. the other day they all had usable buttons. Might email them, I’m sure Speck will right their wrong mate.
This one really sticks out. Ironically enough it’s the only thing on this crappy case that works very well. If you needed to silence your phone constantly I could see this being useful. Otherwise it is overkill.
Imagine it getting caught on a thread in your pocket & you end up dropping the phone...
Mute switches are concealed in 99% of cases to prevent accidental activation....with good reason...
In my never-ending quest for the perfect case, I picked up the Spigen Neo Hybrid. It was my go-to case when I had the 6s Plus, so I thought I’d give it a whirl. Aesthetically and functionally, it’s great. I like the fact that they redesigned it to remove the frame from the bottom area of the phone, as those have been prone to snapping in the past. The buttons are extremely tactile; however, the volume buttons could be a bit easier to push. They will probably soften up after a using the case for a couple of weeks. The fit is perfect. Although it’s not as protective as the Otterbox Symmetry (my other case of choice), it’s definitely more stylish and less of a brick.
Speaking of protective, my Neo Hybrid-clad 6s Plus took a nasty tumble from a 3-4 foot height during a hike in a mountainous area, bouncing off the rocks several times. I was sure that my phone was destroyed. Although the case itself had several dents and, along with the tempered glass screen protector, had to be replaced, the phone itself was completely undamaged. It’ll definitely withstand a moderate drop, but I’ll make sure to use the Otterbox while out in rough terrain.

I can relate. Not in love with the cases so far. I’m hoping there are some forthcoming.
I have the black leather mous coming in today
Very excited to see it and try it out

I’ve been considering picking one of these up. However I recently switched back to a case with no bottom lip and I’ve fallen back in love. Now I can’t use other cases lol. Ordered this based on recommendations from another thread.

I am OCD when it comes to phone protection, so the missing bottom lip is out of the question for me. Although it hasn't even been a full day, I am really liking the Neo Hybrid. As good as the Symmetry is, I'll hold on to it for those times when that degree of protection is required. For now, I'll stick with the Neo Hybrid...until something else catches my eye, of course!
I have it on my phone right now. This is totally my daily case. Amazing tight fit to the phone, very good feel,in the hand and I just love the leather

Is there any lip in the middle of the screen and how much is at the top and bottom where it arches out
Thanks
No. There is no lip in the middle, however the top and bottom have substantial lip.

Nice looking case! Just wondering does it bother you that the substantial lip on the bottom actually hinders your swipe up to home movement? Am keen on this case but have read that the above problem can be a deal-breaker for some. Thanks!
