Sorry, but what's not clear in your post is are you looking for a phone case that does not have the same characteristics of an Apple Silicon case so that it would be easier to place in and remove from a pants pocket OR are you just looking for a third-party silicon case.


Regardless, cases that rely on silicone or rubber will have a higher friction coefficient making them more susceptible to this issue. Whereas, plastic or leather cases may not.


However, three cases that come to mind, would be:

  • RhinoShield SolidSuit
  • OTOFLY Silicone Case
  • SUPCASE UB Grip MagSafe Case

Sorry for the lack of clarity.... several folks have said that while the Apple Silicone case is difficult to remove from the pocket is due to the fact that Silicone has more friction, there are many other positives about that case. So I am looking for alternatives that have many of the positive characteristics of the Apple case, i.e. camera control button, MagSafe, etc. but have better slipability (?), if that is the word. I appreciate the suggestions and will select one in the next day or so while waiting for the iPhone to come in. Thanks!
