Was looking at the dbrand Ghost but all of the issues with scratches and lukewarm/negative reviews have put me off.

Hearing some good things about Spigen's cases this year, also considered Caudabe's Lucid Clear (if it ever comes back in stock...), Apple's own clear case and the Otterbox Lumen.

What's the best?

Anything else I haven't mentioned above worth a look? Most important factor has to be non-yellowing (although I appreciate its too early to tell).

Thanks

IMO the Apple ClearCase is always a good choice. It's rather expensive and has its own quirks (ie the buttons are a bit stiff) but as far as I know it doesn't yellow at all and feels nice in the hand.

For a non-yellowing clear case for the 15 Pro, Spigen's cases and Apple's own clear case are good options. Some folks also like Otterbox Lumen. Caudabe's Lucid Clear might be worth a shot if it's back in stock. These are the popular ones without yellowing issues. Maybe give those a whirl!

i have the ghost and tbh i dont really notice any scratches on mine and the feel is great in hands also dbrand is working on revising the ghost to make it more scratch resistant and everyone who bought the ghost will recieve the new ghost free of charge once its done in April

Same. I love my ghost case.

Mous Clarity 2.0 Clear and Iridescent cases are another option. Both have anti-yellowing technology and scratch resistant coating. The iridescent is sick AF.

All clear case WILL turn yellow after some time. My advice don’t spend too much money on clear cases

As much as people make fun of the Apple clear case I had mine for 3 years on my iPhone 12 and only showed the SMALLEST amount of discoloration. It’s the best choice if you don’t wanna spend $12 on garbage Amazon clear cases every 6 months because they look like they’ve been dipped in 6am urine. 😜

I've used Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear cases and they most definitely turn yellow after 6 months. Here's a pic of my girlfriends Spigen Ultra Hybrid for her S22 ultra after a year. I finally got her a new one because it looks awful..

I had one for my iPhone X with the same results. I bought the version with the black border a clear back instead and never had the issue again..

I have bought clear cases for my 6S, X and 13 Pro and all yellowed after some time. Six months into the 13 Pro, I purchased the Apple Clear Case for my 13 Pro and it never yellowed. So when I got my 15 Pro Max I didn’t want to waste time or money and got the Apple Clear Case. Tired of wasting money on crap accessories.
