Our cases arrived this afternoon and I installed them. My wife is happy with her Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro as she says it is 'grippy' enough that she (hopefully) won't drop it. We both found the naked phone hard to grip. She also liked the blue color as it will make finding her phone in the abyss that is her purse all that much easier. The back of the case is colored so stands out.
I'm pleased with the Unicorn Beetle (plain style) I chose as it adds just enough 'grip' while not being too 'grippy' for sliding into a pants pocket. It only adds a little to all the outer dimensions of the phone as well. The glass protector I had installed at purchase fits the case too. The backside of the case is glass/plastic so it looks like the front.
I'd like to thank you all for the inputs you gave.
Let the 'tech' adventure begin!
and next time I'll try to remember to put a subject in the title.
