The short version

Buy it if

iPhone 7 Plus or 8 Plus owners who want a clear case with a protective bumper

Sturdy, protective feel without the weight of a rugged case
Good grip from the rubber edges

Common complaints

Flush buttons are hard to find and press

What it does

A clear back case with a colored rubber bumper and raised edges for the iPhone 7 Plus and 8 Plus, now sold by SUPCASE as a clearance item.

Clear back shows the phone's color and Apple logo
Raised edges keep the screen and camera off flat surfaces
Textured rubber edges for grip
Snap on design for easy fitting
Lighter than heavy duty rugged cases

A sensible buy for 7 Plus or 8 Plus owners who want to see the phone through the case and still get real edge protection, backed by a 15 foot drop test claim. The trade-off is the buttons: they sit flush under the bumper and take a firm press, and the clear back picks up fingerprints.
