So you have a colorful iPhone BUT hate the fact that most cases will cover up the color you spent hours choosing? Well, go with a clear case! Out of my collection of 80+ cases, about 1/4 of them are clear and I talk about the Top 10 in this video.
Now I personally am not a big fan of most clear cases as the reduced handling and increased "greasiness" of the clear back doesn't do it for me. But that's a personal opinion and I'm a reviewer, not an influencer so for the cases in this Top 10 list, we've weighted the protection, design and functionality of the cases equally.
At Mobile Reviews Eh!, we're sponsor free. Which means we get to say anything we want. At the end of the day, we don't care which case you get, all we care is that you get the best case that you want. Like what we do? Support us!
Here's the Top 10 (and affiliate links):
1. Casetify Ultra Impact - mreh.ca/3eNKmDV
2. Catalyst Influence - mreh.ca/32r1NFs
3. Mous Clarity - Use "mobilereviewseh2104pa" @ www.mous.co for a discount!
4. Ghostek Atomic Slim 3 - mreh.ca/3gfn4aR
5. Rhinoshield MOD NX - mreh.ca/Rhinoshield
6. FLOLAB Taffyca - "MRE10" @ www.flolab.io (I think this code still works)
7. Spigen Ultra Hybrid - mreh.ca/37Jfq4w
8. Supcase Unicorn Beetle EXO - mreh.ca/3lSdBqV
9. Ringke Fusion X - mreh.ca/3lUtkWQ
10. Cyrill Color Brick - mreh.ca/2JV7ipg
In this grouping, the thinnest case is going to be the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. If you're looking for something thinner, check out the Caudabe Lucid Clear or even the Apple Clear Case.

just dont put a case on your phone
caxuaL Gaming
do you have any updates? After a year, did it turned yellow?
Leon B
i got the catalyst influence case, but i found it to be too wide of a case to grip in my hand. It forced me to use my phone with two hands more often than not. I considered returning it but the return shipping is expensive with the tracking....
Manny I
lol i want a video of Val's sunglasses! all are cool
MARIE THA DJ
It’s the dog for me 🥰
CRYSIS
The dog at 14:10

One thing I hate about the Rhinoshield is that space in between the phone and backplate. It ends up getting hella dirty in there.
Chris Schuett
I find myself forgetting about the video topic and just watching the dog.

Monty looks like he's listening but confused but trying
Boris Danyukov
Dude your arm looks great for a tech channel.
Doc Ninja
Personal favorite is supcase unicorn beetle clear case. Looks so good on my 12 pro max.
Javier Liera 3
I own the mous clarity case and i love it but I want an all clear case including the clear sides
obviouslyachicken
Every time I hear "Monty" I think of Monty from the 100
marsbars
Hey how come that iPhone has a gold rim around the camera
unknown user
Monty is so cute! i have a dog that exactly looks like Monty, her name is Nala.
Yuuji Lee
Sigh it’s so hard for me to these cases in my country they all sell fake brand
Shiela Jel Villarama
There's a lot of ringke cases btw, they also have Fusion Matte Cases! fusion design cases And a new version of Fusion X, Onyx cases! I mean there's a lot to choose! Affordable cases tho very worth every penny! Protect your phone :)

shazee shah
Monty looks human

Casetify needs to give you a promo code for your peeps (us)

15:15 "that's where the Ultra Impact is so it's a very good case but not as good as this Ultra Impact"
jairo ramirez
Why isn’t the gear4 in this list ??
Muffin Tunes
I really appreciate the unbias review in terms of effective protection & visual appearance explanation throughout the video. I decided to go with the Influence Catalyst [Clear] for my blue iPhone 12! I may not make heads or tails of the rotary mute dial issue but I'm sure it's no big deal, I can just triple-tap the back of the phone to "mute/silent" instead... I'm a musician after all!
[Settings->Accessibility->Touch->Back Tap->Assign double/triple tap functions!]
diskobiskuit
Is there a good clear back case with port covers?
Suzanne Van Ledden
Can someone explain how to get the golden rings around the camera? Looks so cute.
Because thats just a white iphone right?
Samyangmyeon
this is the cutest review ever 🥰
kchitown 1977
Not a fan of the catalyst with the dial I do like the frosted back though
Daniel Archer
Does the MagSafe charger hold well on the catalyst influence?
patrick jackson
Gotta love the dog he’s so cute.
Mr Logicus
Hi men ...since las video your arms get bigger
Lexi Jones
Why not any uag case
Also what case clear case do you recommend casetify, mous, or ghostek or flolab
Bryce Dees
Just purchased the Catalyst influence from your link. Thank you for the very informative video!!
B2359
i had a tie between Catalyst influence, Spigen Ultrahybrid or crystal and one not in this list. Smartish Kung Fu Grip Nothing to hide. I went with the Smartish. For 15 $ it is a pretty good clear case with frosted edges and fair grip.
Chino Madriaga
Goodboy, Monty! So adorable! He’s looking at his owner like he’s saying “you forgot to wipe the cases, they all look so dirty and full of fingerprints” 😆
Rajbir Singh
I really love that dog!
E U
Monty's such a good dog.
eriz t.
Wonder if the catalyst influence will turn yellow over time 🤔

Great reviews. Great presenting voice that's easy on the ear. So I subscribed. I still use lightning speaker docks around the house, so its disappointing the 12 pro max doesn't really have that many open bottom cases now. Such a hassle removing the case every time to use them. I think the Apple clear case is open at the bottom, but don't use magsafe so that's way too expensive (@£49/CAD$86).
RUSH FAN
Due to the thinness of these cases, I’m skeptical of the camera lens protection. I settled for the Otterbox Defender. Excellent protection and still pretty thin. The rubber exterior provides ample grip.
Kevin Feng
Rhinosheild... do not recommend
Zak Eatz
Spigen can write an entire essay on the side of the case and yall would still buy it smh so ugly
JB 86
Any thoughts on the Griffin/survivor offerings? I think they’re 2 separate brands these days. Buttons have always let them down in the past.
O.J. Dueñas
When can we see Val's pretty face?
Cecilia Santiago
Have you ever reviewed Carved phone cases?
hilmanic28
Ever checked out the cheap casing ESR Air Armor? Would like to know how much protection it does provide
yarnho
Appreciate the full spectrum reviews you provide so "we" don't have to learn the hard way about what's best for our iphone's cases. I have one suggestion I didn't see being tested in any that I could tell. With all the privacy issues apps and platforms are having to change to, there are cases that provide camera blocking for back and/or front (preferably both at same time on a case) cameras. Could you review those types? Case that just holds phone and covers cameras F&B. versus impact protection/wireless charging combined with both camera privacy covers. Colors and variety isn't as much of a concern as the need to be able to choose to protect privacy.
Kenny James
I was thinking of getting the spigen clear case for my purple iPhone 11. Is that a good idea? Will the phone crack easily with it??
Dan M
thanks for the video! i'm picking the catalyst case
Callemann
Stop wearing the stupid face masks!
aqfina
I wish the Taffyca was in Canada, conversion makes it a little pricy. Love how it matches the bumper
Mila Lahue
I followed your recommendations to choose a case and, according to the way I use my phone, I purchased the middle-of-the-road FLOLAB Taffyca for my new 12 Pro along with the NanoArmour screen. I did not need anything tougher than that. I used your MRE10 code and received a 10% discount, too. Thanks! Much appreciated. Thank you also for the time, effort, and $$$ you put into each video. They are very informative and lively... and I absolutely love Monty! 😎❤️ Keep up the good work!
Chris Cruz
I'm just wondering if you could like put a credit card or sum behind the clear case but idk if it will damage the magnet tho
Vinje Helene
Doesn’t the gear4 clear case scratches up really god by nothing than a fingernail. The otterbox and tech21 I’ve had that problem with. Been lucky with ringke and spigen. But I just love that colour and design of that gear4 clear cases in youre review here. Just asking.
Derrick Martin
How is the black case ugly
Mya Desai

ESR clear case with a kickstand is a good one.

Is the speck clear grip any good?
Didi Irwin
You can buy Monty a few more bones, I used your link to purchase the No.1 Castetify for my new iPhone 12. Thank you for the great info 🇨🇦
Dru A
Is there an clear iPhone 12 case that protects well (Mous/Castify) and has magnets that you recommend?
frozentune97
Could you review the Element Case or Catalyst Total Protection case for the AirPods Pro please, need your trustee review🙏
Aurijeet Mukerjee
Goodest boy!
Aurijeet Mukerjee
MONTY is pure love!
3KittyLuvsBooks
I didn’t hear anything you said when your adorable doggie was on video .🤎🐶🤎🐶
Mega
Great video, man. My main gripe is finding a case that doesn't have a sharp cutout at the charging port. Where I generally put my pinky under the phone, my pinky gets dented and irritated over prolonged periods of time. I've bought so many cases like that, and probably one out of 5 aren't sharp at the port for me. Any thoughts on these? It's a weirdly important thing to me.lol Thanks!
Tanisha Harregan
Casetify? Good or no ??
Graphixx
No Xdoria/Raptic clear case ?
eggo
does anyone know if the gear4 clear case has raised lips to protect the rear camera lenses?
Juan Leyva
I really like the design of the rhino shield but can any tell me if it’s really worth it because hate for my phone crack
Juan Leyva
Okey thxs I might get it idk yet
Di
I drop my phone ALL THE TIME (no joke) and I use/trust rhinoshield! It’s withstood a million falls. But I haven’t tried it in their clear case so I can’t speak to that one.
Austin Slater
not a huge clear case fan either but that catalyst looks pretty cool. Great video!
minimii
Hi I saw that around 12:48 there was a screen protector that had an option to cover your front facing camera! Where did you get that type of screen protector and is it any good ?
Steven M
I bought the Spigen hybrid clear case and I really dislike how thick it is. I was looking at Bare Naked and other thinner clear cases but Mobile Reviews Eh really disliked them. Now I have no idea where to start as I cant seem to find a basic thin (completely clear) case. I want to keep the feel of the phone but just prevent scratches. I'm not worried about fall damage.
Mountain Biker
I would love to hear what you or others think of the Pelican Voyager clear case.
Kachatorn Wongnimit
Lovely ur dog 🐶
Pablo Alvarez
You are such a good reviewer. Thank you so much for your hard work. I've been watching you since your wireless charging videos for the iPhone 8 and iPhone X. Thank you for your honesty and well thought out/organized and executed review.
Daniel Cho
Anybody know what lens cover he has at 12:46
Gabe Goffin
The rhinosheild one I believe
Bo Norman
As someone who has bought the casetify impact series, the back scratches sooooo easy. I never put anything in the pocket with my phone and I wear sweatpants a lot. After 2-3 weeks it hand scratches all over the back of the phone case and it looked like someone took a key and scrape the back. For $49 I wouldn't recommend.
clevername333
Catalyst FTW! My Impact V.2 (influence) feels great in hand and I got their shoulder strap attachment which I love!
J Rallis
I’m assuming that’s your wife. Nice addition to your reviews - however be nice to bring back your Dad too sometime
Desiree Elizondo
could I use the magbak wallet on one of these cases? like the casetify or mous clarity..or any magnetic case honestly.
aBMWEnthusiast
I just ordered the transparent Casetify Ultra w/black bumper and a screen protector for my iPhone 12 Pro Max using your link. I am concerned about the lack of magnets for use with the Mag-Safe charger. Hopefully, it will not disappoint. That said, I am curious about a previous review (dated Nov 9, 2020). In that review, you rated the Mous Limited 3.0 over the Casetify Ultra. Is there a reason you ranked the Casetify behind the Mous in that review but rated the Casetify ahead of the Mous in this view? Thank you for the hard work that goes into testing countless products to help viewers make informed purchases for our expensive phones.
Serendipity Betta
I cannot be the only one who hates casetifys branding. Only reason why I haven’t bought one of their cases. I hate their name around the camera like that.
Johnny
Monty has so much character! Amazing how he just sits there watching Aaron.
Eduardo R
How does the apple clear case compare to your top? Where would you put it ?
srikant arya
Could you review CA based https://www.totalleecase.com/products/iphone-12-pro-max-case?variant=32511756992574
Paul Daniel
Please sum up your results you are talking too much I don’t have time ffs
N C
thanks but would've like if you covered drop protection and best camera lens bezel protection. Also, I didn't hear any mention of the protective tempered glass screen? any review on that item with Casetify case?
Will Schafer
I can’t find a thin strong case that will charge on a desk stand type charger. I tried the new more powerful Mophie desk stand charger and the mag desk stand charger and they can penetrate the cases I have already tried and I have tried caseify ans EVO etc. Doesn’t anyone know a thin strong case that will charge with a desk stand charger. Please email info to wscha87395@aol.com
Emily Hughes
Thank you so much for this review—- I spent a couple days agonising over my purchase and went with the catalyst influence :-).
I was also looking at Pelican voyager (unfortunately hard to get in UK) and OtterBox symmetry, do you have any thoughts on these?
Thank you so much for walking me through such a niche but surprisingly complex decision!
Sue Leocha Sadowski
just bought an OTTER BOX clear case for my IPHONE12 pro, it could NOT have sucked enough , well next to APPLE's Im not sure which one was worse. Apples looks SO gorgeous, but is SO SO slippery and crappy material, Otters looks like a bad rubber tire around it and before I even had it OUT of the box, the GRIMEY finger look made SMEARS all around it just from TOUCHING it. I couldnt return it fast enough. but hec, thats just me. Otter is now in WALMART it seems. Hope this helps ya .
