Clearly nothing fancy here, after YEARS of Apple leather and silicone cases, 2 MagSafe leather this year. This is the first clear case I purchased since iPhone 4! (Torras "Military Diamond Clear")

Great fit, it is super clear with no "rainbow effect." It does have a very slight hint of blue, almost Sierra Blue in certain angles. *That raised lens back in the photo below is clear, not blue.

It's odd and can't explain it...again, years of the phone being covered by various cases. It's actually quite strange to finally see my actual phone though a case. ??‍♂️?

*Still deciding on a nice dark brown leather case. (God, I told myself months ago "do not go crazy with phone cases again!!" I never listen..LOL )

Just ordered the Mous Bamboo for my S22 Ultra and paid the $14.95 for "UPS Air Express" shipping :oops:
No idea what in the world UPS Air Express shipping is?

Praying it's a little faster than the ultra slooooow free shipping they use.
UPS Air Express is next day air (one day shipping)
I just purchased the Mous Evolution case with Intra lock and it sucks. It is flimsy and feels cheap. I got it for 50% off though, so I bought it for $23.00

Did you get it with the UPS Air express shipping? How long did it take to arrive?

What's the story with the blue buttons on those cases?

Yes I got it with UPS Air Express. I ordered it and got it the next day.

I’m not sure what the story is with the blue buttons, but I can tell you they are extremely tactile, and they don’t have slits in them.

I’m using my first clear case over here as well. Spigen Ultra Hybrid is pretty solid. What I don’t love (and the reason I just ordered from Torras) is the writing inside. I’m fine with the Spigen logo but why do I need to know it has “AIR CUSHION TECHNOLOGY!!!!!!11!!!1!1”.

Looking forward to 100% clear.

I absolutely cannot stand obnoxious text on these cases. Slapping "Air Cushion blah blah," why? Is someone going to stop you in the store and ask "Oh, what's that 'Air Cushion Technology' all about?" No. ?

I've seen other cases like this on Amazon...(no thanks)

This Torras case does have the small brand on the bottom corner, but you really don't even notice it. Other than that, it's perfectly clear. My main concern is if this was slippery, personally I think it has a decent grip, no issues at all in the first 24 hrs. Now if this is truly "Anti yellow" technology, which explains the blue tint in certain lightning, we'll see.

I'm absolutely okay with a blue tint. Bet it would look gnarly under a black light.

Spigen has a logo in the same place in white text so not too much more noticeable but I definitely prefer how Torras' looks. How was shipping for you?

Shipping was perfect! Saw it on Amazon (also on sale)...did some searching on YouTube reviews and liked what I saw. I ordered it on Amazon Wed. around 4:30pm, it arrived here yesterday around 5:00pm, just over 24 hrs :)

*Link is for 13 Pro Max, not sure which version you have.

I ordered directly from Torras. Hope it’s that quick but I’m okay using the Spigen a few more days.

I ordered the Torras iPhone 13 Pro Max Mist Series Case Which is also the Matte case direct from Torras and it shipped through Amazon so it took a few days. It’s almost the same as the Diamond Series but it has a Matte back so you don’t see fingerprints. I also had a coupon code for five dollars off so I got the case for $16.99 instead of $21.99 and I cannot find the code.

Finally getting around to getting some photos up. Really nice clear case with unnecessary branding that kinda ruins it. The buttons are tactile but I hate the mini button within each button; looks weird to me. The charging port cutout is also a little uncomfortable.

Well I do like the black MagSafe ring, Wish Apple would quit being lazy, cheap and color coordinate their clear cases to match our phone colors. I personally hate the ugly white ring.

Again I agree that goofy Air Cushion text is so unnecessary. Is that etched into the plastic?

I tried one of these once and didn’t like the branding. It’s been a complaint for so long idk why they don’t fix it… looks gorgeous otherwise!
