White 8 Plus silicone case

Look at some of the pictures of peoples' iPhone leather and silicon cases here and you'll see where the reviews come from. It scares me to think what these posters' houses look like when they're carrying a phone case that's so beat up and dirty and destroyed after only a month owning it. Bottom line, like cars or homes, or anything you own, the product will reflect how you treat it. If you never clean your bathroom or car, it'll become damaged not to mention look disgusting. Same with a cell phone case.
If you get a white silicon, you'll get color bleed if you have newer jeans you slip them into, or if something in your purse rubs on it, but a non-harsh cleaner (screen wipes work good) will bring it back to new or near-new looking if you rub it once a week.
I have an Apple White Silicone, (8Plus version) case for my iPhone 8 plus and my brother uses a midnight blue (7plus) silicone case on his 8 plus...the biggest difference is the grip. The confound which apple is using for the 8plus model, is more grippy and feels lightweight in hand in comparison to the 7Plus version of the silicone cases.
Coming to the shortcomings, just like all silicone cases, the coating starts coming off the edges in just a few days. Literally like a fortnight, that too after very careful sausage. The yellowing of the case is common too but not as much as the 7Plus version of the case. It grippy, the buttons are clickable and not at all bulky. Slides in and out of pockets and looks distinctly apple BUT, the yellowing and coating wear off are major issues. Good case to have but certainly not for $55 that i paid for it in India.
