As much as I’d love to keep my iPhone 7
naked, it’s just not a smart thing to do
and since I want to keep my iPhone in mint
condition, I need a case. The Spigen Ultra
Hybrid has been my primary case for the past
4 iPhone models because it’s everything
I want in a case: good protection, low price,
minimal, and see-through. I got it for about
$10 on Amazon and that link is in the description
below for your convenience. This is the Crystal
Clear version but it also comes in other bumper
colors. It’s made of thermoplastic polyurethane
so it’s not a hard plastic, but instead
it’s firm and flexible. It covers the back,
the top and bottom, and the sides of the iPhone
7, and it has all the precise cutouts for
the lightning port, speakers, new grill and
new camera. It’s very easy to put on, just
insert the iPhone 7 top first and then snap
it in at all four corners. One of the good
things about the Spigen Ultra Hybrid is that
it has a slightly raised lip on the front
to protect the iPhone 7 display when it lays
face-down on a surface. It also has the same
type of small lips on the back of the case
at each four corners so that the case doesn’t
get easily scratched when it’s moved around.
The iPhone 7 power and volume buttons have
protection with this case and I've always
appreciated the Ultra Hybrid's ease of pushing
the buttons and the tactile feedback that
it gives. The Air Cushion technology on all
4 corners of the case absorbs most of the
impact during small-to-medium drops. I’ve
never experienced any damage to my iPhones
during the past 3 years when using this case.
I do try to be very careful with my phone
so it starts there, but I do drop it from
time to time when getting out of my car or
when I’m pulling my iPhone out of my pocket
so it does handle drops up to 4 feet very
well. The biggest question that comes up is
“Does the case turn yellow over time?”
Well this is my old Spigen Ultra Hybrid iPhone
6s case on the left compared to the new Ultra
Hybrid iPhone 7 case on the right. You can
see that yes the case did change color ever
so slightly over time. The 6s case on the
left was used for a year and that’s what
you can expect the color to look like after
a year’s worth of use without any washing
or cleaning. It’s not extremely discolored.
The slight yellowing over time never really
bothered me because as you can see when it’s
on the phone it’s not a huge problem, at
least for me anyway. So I think for $10 the
Spigen Ultra Hybrid iPhone 7 case is great
and if you’re looking for an affordable
minimal clear case that offers decent protection
I think you’ll love it. Check it out, again,
the link is in the description below. My name
is Andy. Thank you for watching this review,
and I’ll talk to you in the next video.
