Clear, not-too-bulky case

So, my Ringke is definitely starting to yellow on the edges. Anyone tried the Caseology Skyfall case? I'm thinking of grabbing one while it still has a 25%off coupon.

Google Pixel 2 XL Case, Caseology [Skyfall Series] Slim Protective Dual Layer Cover Geometric Design for Google Pixel 2 XL (2017) - White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076YQNXH...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6235772
Went ahead and ordered it. My Ringke is definitely yellowing and it gets slippery from the oils on my hands. Have to take glass cleaner to it once or twice a week to get it off.

My Caseology came in so here's a side by side of the Caseology Skyfall and Ringke Fusion. Obvious difference being clear sides vs white sides but other than that the Caseology is just a hair bigger. Button covers are clear and still pretty tactile but they're closer to flush with the case edge compared to the Ringke. To be honest though, the grip on the sides isn't much better than the Ringke. I don't know what Caseology uses as a "matte" reference but these sides are definitely not matte... I might actually just use some fine grit sandpaper on the edges and see if that helps. One thing I do like is that it doesn't seem to wrap around the glass curve as much so it might not get as much dirt trapped on the edges and it's probably a good case if you have a screen protector (which I don't).

I bought a Ringke clear fusion and I love it. I have a Spigen slim fit and a Google Live Case. I found the live case too bulky for my poor crippled hand. I loved the slim fit, but found that dust and grit collected along the sides and it really annoyed me. So I got the Ringke. I like the fit very much, it offers great protection and feels good in the hand. Overall it is about 3mm thinner than the live case.

I do like it a lot.

Yeah, the one with the white edge is a Caseology case. I'm still liking it. I still get oil on the case (I keep my beard oiled so it gets on my hands through the day) but it comes off easier.
