Love the look of your iPhone but want a little protection? totallee makes some of the thinnest cases around, and I got a sneak peek at three finishes.
I love the stuff from totallee. These super-slim cases were made for the iPhone X before it launched, and totallee sent me three finishes: white, smoke gray and a translucent frosted clear. A super-slim clear cover is my ideal, so here’s a look at the fit details and which one I like best. My original link was an Amazon search page, so the button now goes to totallee’s current thin case for the iPhone 17 in frosted clear.
- Adds almost no bulk
- Frosted finish hides fingerprints and scratches
- Smoke gray shows the phone through, like a shower curtain
- Bevel protects the camera
- Big, clean cutouts
- Clear cases show every scratch
- Thin cases offer light protection, not rugged drop protection

Why super-slim
If I could get a super-slim clear cover, that would be my ideal. But perfectly clear shows scratches really easily, so I was curious how the different finishes look.
Fit details
There’s a light, low bevel around the camera and a much bigger cutout for the side button, which became the Siri and Apple Pay button. The bottom has the lightning port and small drilled holes for the speaker and mic, with standard cutouts for the volume rockers and mute switch.
Holding the case in my hand was eye-opening: it felt about the size of a regular iPhone 7, way smaller than the Plus models, for a bigger screen.
White, smoke or frosted?
I asked for white to preserve the look of the phone. The smoke gray is a light smoked tint, and you can see the phone through it, like looking through a shower curtain. That’s the best of both worlds: a little see-through, plus protection for a glass-backed phone.
The frosted clear has no color tint at all. It adds a slight frosted effect but provides protection, and the frosted finish doesn’t show fingerprints as much and hides scratches that would be magnified on perfectly clear plastic. It’s the one I wanted most.
Verdict
totallee knocked it out of the park with these color choices. Super-slim protection and style for your phone, without the bulk.
