Oh transparent case (with bump edges) all the way for me. They go a little yellow after some time so need replacing.
They allow you to see dust buildup which I unfortunately discovered on my last phone starts to cause lots of little micro scratches over time.
I have a few cheapy cases. I have a dark one for when I need to look nicer so the phone doesnt stand out. I’ve got a clear one (white phone) and I’ve got a bright red one as well. The red one is extra grippy and the brightest color and I use that one when I’ll be in the woods or taking a lot of pics so I don’t drop it, and if I do it will stand out. All cases around $10 and have kept my phone looking nice. I’ve also printed out cool backgrounds like a Samauri Jack one that I threw under the clear case on my old phone, but the ink eventually stained the case.
so I don’t drop it, and if I do it will stand out.
That is actually genius.
There is method to my madness! 🤪
Also just works well when putting my phone down random places or near someone else’s phone. I can always spot it much faster with a louder color case. Then I have the dark one for when a neon color phone would look too out of place or just draw unwanted attention like an event or nice dinner.
It just adds a layer of flexibility that I find worth the price of a cheap case.
My wife decorated the back of her phone with stickers and got a clear case over it, looks pretty neat
