totallee Clear iPhone 13 Mini Case, Thin Cover Ultra Slim Minimal - for Apple iPhone 13 Mini (2021) (Transparent)

I'm going to redo my entire review for the totallee clear slim iPhone 13 mini case for the sake of giving my indefinite and honest opinion now that I've gotten to get to know the brand, the product and the amazing people who work hard to ensure their customers are satisfied and have a wonderful experience with their products! I've purchased a few different cases from totallee and being someone who doesn't very much like to hide my iPhone in a bully case with all these unnecessary extras and just want a super thin case that'll not only keep my device protected from accidental drops and uh-ohs, whilst at the same time have a case that's not even noticeable, and allows the iPhone to shine in all of its glory, and I have been a bit more than impressed with every single purchase I have made and every single case for various models, but you understand that sometimes you will get a slightly defective or damaged item, and that's with pretty much every single thing that you buy. I normally don't like to see others dissing a product, let alone the business of the product for a simple faulty item that is not the fault of the business or anyone in it, it's called production, but I've been guilty of going off from a product I've purchased before, although it was entirely justifiable due to the very misleading nature of the company and how dang expensive the product was. I will voice my concerns and try to be as respectful as I can be if I believe that it's something that may cause harm to another customer or is just something the buyer has the right to know. Anyway, I had received my first order for the iPhone 13 mini case and directly upon opening the package I noticed the case was slightly yellowed already, which I've seen happen more times than I can count with as many brands as well. Before I could even voice my concern, I received a message from the totallee customer support asking if I had received the order and if there were anything they could do if so. It took me by surprise as they didn't just send an automated, copy and paste message but it was a very kind individual who showed great concern and patience while I stated that I did in fact have a small issue, I sent a picture to them and they said, "oh gosh, I definitely see the yellowing" and asked if I would like a refund, which I told them that since my phone was red, the yellow wouldn't be much of an issue and they took it upon themselves to go the extra mile and send me a replacement case before I had time to respond. I always like to tell professional, kind and thoughtful people like that how many people actually prefer a good customer service experience more than the product itself. In this modern day of evolving business models and constant bots that are not only very unhelpful and very frustrating, but it also shows that the customer doesn't matter enough to take a few minutes to send them a message, but the very amazing people at totallee check every box, and then some! My replacement arrived in a day and a half, which I was in complete shock over, considering how many times I've ordered a "same day/2-day shipping" on this platform and, ehhemm, it's hardly ever on time, and that's putting it very mildly. The quality of the packaging and the item itself were pristine and brand new, and they wanted nothing in return. They showed genuine compassion and concerns about my experience, and I have nothing but respect for the people who had helped me out with resolving my issue in record time at that! I have always wanted the ideal case that had the balance of protection where you need it most, and a product that is so lightweight, thin and transparent that you don't even realize that you're wearing a case after a while. I like how their designs don't change drastically and keep the same elegant, slim yet very durable design without any over branding or misleading claims. Their description of the items are direct, to the point and comes from the pride they take into making the best, and most durable things cases so that us minimalists are able to enjoy the uninterrupted aesthetic of our devices. Quality I give a solid 10/10 Durability is a fantastic 10/10 Longevity is another perfect 10/10 Ease of use/fit 10/10 Customer support and response time & kindness you can't put a number on And the value for the money I will give my honest rating of a 9/10 (I do believe that there could be room for improvement in the pricing of the cases,) but to me, I don't always have the money to immediately purchase them like I'd like to, but like I have stated earlier, the experience and respect I received from this one very minor issue was resolved beyond anything I've ever seen, and the care and authenticity of the care and support is well worth everything. So I doubt I'd need to say whether I recommend this one or not. Just please don't blow a fuse "if" anything comes up when you get your item and treat the customer support with the respect they very well deserve. They will be more than happy to help you with any issues you may have. Thank you everyone for letting me review the clear thin case for the iPhone 13 mini by totallee and I'm proud to be a customer and will always have my support! Thank you and have an amazing weekend everyone!

Protects but very slim, keeps the slim feel to the iPhone 13 mini. It works with MagSafe but I added a metal ring to the outside of the case. This ensures a rock solid connection to my chargers, this is not necessary but my preference. Not a hard plastic feel but a non slip feel.

Lightweight cover does not take away from enjoying the color of my phone which is exactly what I wanted.

The product's main function, from dropping to its claims to cushion the edges and prevent cracks are all true; but I did not purchase this product PRIMARILY for that reason. It's becoming more and more difficult to find cases for the iPhone 13 Mini, so I had limited clear case choices. Most are expensive ($29.99+) and although this retails for $39.99, I purchased this under a promotion ($19.99). I would not have purchased this for $39.99; it's not worth it, compared to cases a few dollars more for the iPhone 13 mini and also clear. Here's why ... 2 reasons: 1. The case is slippery. My previous case had texture and design on the outside, which made it simpler to pick up without worry about it slipping out of the hand. If the material on the inner side of the back could be placed on the outside edges, then that would be an awesome engineering feat. More on this material on the inner side which'd be useful here, yet not where it is presently. 2. The product's backside is not entirely clear. The sides and the edge are indeed clear; however, the inside of the back has a fine-grain texture that can be semi-rough at a finger's touch and can be seen at certain angles and lighting. Though, it's not as obvious against a solid background, I'm using a skin that has slight sheer to it, which sticks to the phone's back and edges. When I remove the cover, the printed 3D image skin is as anticipated, but when I put the case back on, that fine-grain texture slightly distorts the printed 3D image skin making it look not as realistic as without the case. The sides and edges as I cited are clear, so the 3D-ness and "natural" appearance of the printed image looks realistic.

This case is made of cheap, thick and hard plastic, and is not at all ultra-thin.
