Oh no that's not good, hope it doesn't take long to find another you like. Your husband is getting a nice one, they sure are making a lot more dyed ones lately.
I know. I’m suuuuuper bummed. It took me awhile to find one I did like. I’m not as picky with the travelers they make but live edge.. idk. I don’t see any I like right now and I know they don’t put more out over the weekends… ugh. This does nothing for my impatient psyche.

So I went back to my Grip. Didn’t realize how slippery the phone is naked. Still looking forward to the Flolab Taffyca and replacement glass screen protector. And the Phone Rebel Flex whenever that comes out.

I’m using an Otterbox Symmetry in clear glitter right now. I agree with the sentiment that the fit has been a little off with these this year but I still love it and love the glitter with the gold iPhone! I always end up going back to rocking it naked though. 😆
I love glitter too! The otter boxes are so hard to get on the phone though! I work for one of the major providers and I’ve had to get help from one of the guys trying to get the cases on! Lol.
I keep seeing Spigen liquid crystal with the glitter. I’ve seen it on peoples phones before and have always wanted to try one. Haven’t yet. And with my live edge from carved getting messed up in production I may look at a spigen to keep me happy till I find another live edge to choose from.

I’ve been using my Rhinoshield Bumper for 2 weeks and I haven’t thought to change to any of my other cases. I really love this bumper. I do want to use it naked for a day.

Rhinoshield bumper without back plate and with their glass screen protector. Great case, love using the phone this way.

You guys are making me consider the bumper. I wish it had more texture and was less slippery.

I get a Spigen Tough Armor for every new phone I get. Never had a problem and they’re less than $20 on Amazon.

It isn’t slippery anymore, it used to be.

I have the CrashGuard NX for iPhone 12 in Navy Blue. It does have texture which makes it grippy.

Before this one I had the exact same model in red for my iPhone XS. This one was slippery without texture

I’m about to buy a clear skin, and put it on the sides while keeping my glass protectors on the front and back. I did use my phone without the bumper for 12 hours and the square sides hurt my hands, so back to the bumper for me

That’s the one I have except in Royal Blue.

You guys were right about Flolab. I ordered a screen protector from them and it arrived in 4 days, which was nice. Then I broke that protector. They have a guarantee where they’ll send me a new one for free and I just pay shipping, which is also nice. However that was a week ago that I contacted them and I’ve heard nothing. At all.

That really sucks.

I ALMOST pulled the trigger on getting Flolab because I wanted the highest quality full edge to edge protector--but I saw the real reviews about that company and how they basically ghost people since they're based in China. It really put a bad taste in my mouth.

I just went with the most expensive Belkin Ultraglass from the Apple store months ago and I couldn't be happier. Not a chip, scratch or ding on it. *knocks on wood* Plus the clarity is fantastic.

Yea it stinks. I bit on the offer they gave me for 50% off their case, but I’m gonna try to cancel the whole thing. I don’t normally use glass screen protectors so if I take this one off I dunno if I’ll put another on.

Yeah, I would. Did you get use to the edge to edge version?

I suggest paying up the money and getting the Belkin Ultraglass they use in Apple stores. If they have the machine, they'll do it for you with no dust, smudges, etc. They'll do it over and over until you're happy. But it has the notch cutout but it's no big deal IMO.

I always bought everything but the Apple store one all these years and after my experience with the Belkin/Apple experience recently, I'm always going to pay up front and just get that one. It's truly set it and forget it type of protector and I love it. Plus, there's no shipping costs or any charge if you do break it (which is rare because the glass is stupid strong) and want a new one. Lifetime warranty through Belkin!

Yea I got the edge to edge version I think - the one without the notch cutout.

I’ve heard about that Belkin one and Apple putting them on. If it cracks can you literally walk into the Apple store and they’ll just put on a new one under warranty? If so that’s awesome. Might be worth paying the Apple tax for that. Lol
