Review on Elago Slim Fit 2 Jet Black IPhone 7 Plus Case - Lightweight, Minimalistic, & True To Fit For Exclusive Compatibility With IPhone 7 Plus by Ryan Springer

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Clear is very slippery

I ordered this case because it was clear and a minimalist case, and said it was not slippery. It got 2 of those things right, but what good is a case if it causes you to drop it.The elago case comes packed in a very nice plastic, rip bag. I usually have seen that when a company takes time to do their packaging nicely, their products are typically nice too. This was not the case for the elago slim fit 2. While it was clear and a minimalist case, it was very slippery. I have oily hands to begin with, but compared to other cases, this one was bad. When I received my case, it had a slight crack (or could be manufacturing defect) in the top left corner of the case. I said I will deal with it as I really liked how slim this case is. It does feel naked, while protecting the corners and the screen if flipped on it. But after spending less than 24 hours and almost have the phone slip out of my hand more than a few times, that was the last straw. I requested a refund.Pro's-Very slim-Clear. Since it feels like plastic (could be hardened TPU, not sure), I don't think it will turn yellow as quick as all other clear TPU cases do-Protects corners and screen of phoneCon's-Very slippery; worse than going with no case on the phone-Finger print magnet; but easily cleaned by wiping phone on shirtNow you're asking, why only 1 con listed and only 2 star review? Well, since it's meant to protect your phone and not cause you to drop it, that took a few stars off. I was going to do a 1 star review, but this does seem like a nice case, minus the slippery part.Maybe I received a "dud", maybe this is how all their clear cases are, I don't know. Just giving my feedback on my experience with their clear case.

Pros
  • It is perfect for people who want to protect their iPhone without sacrificing style
Cons
  • Not suitable for rugged use
