3.0 out of 5 starsDoes not stay clear (turns yellow) & it is not scratch-resistant. I love how slim this case is and how well it protects my phone. So if you hold the phone case on its side, the front is a yellowish tint and the back is still clear like the day I bought it.
The silicone cases act as good protection against impact and scratching of the case, are incredibly resilient and because they're quite thin they don't add much to the bulk of the devices.
The best (and safest!) way to fix your scratched and scuffed-up iPhone, Android phone, or other mobile device is to
replace the screen!
Try this at your own risk.
- Pour polish into a bowl.
- Dip a soft cloth into the polish.
- Rub the cloth up and down the scratch and in circular motions.
Shallow ScratchesClean the plastic surface with a damp cloth, rubbing in a circular motion around the scratch. Dry the area to remove any dirt which should make the process easier to carry out. Apply a mild abrasive, such as toothpaste, furniture polish, baking soda or plastic polish to the scratch.
How to Remove Scratch Marks From Clear Plastic
- Moisten a piece of 800-grit sandpaper with a bit of water.
- Use the same technique with 1200-grit sandpaper if the scratches still remain.
- Clean the plastic with a damp cloth to remove any sandpaper residue.
A clear phone case can result in scratches of the phone because dirt and sand may get trapped between the case and the phone. These small granules of sand are extremely hard and handling your device may cause friction, which results in micro scratches along the side of the phone.
Toothpaste marketed as non-abrasive still contains a small amount of an abrasive component, in order to be effective for cleaning the teeth. This abrasive component gently removes a thin layer of plastic from the lens, thus leveling out the surface and removing scratches.
Yes, toothpaste can remove minor paint scratches. A standard toothpaste (not a gel toothpaste) has a minor grit to it which helps buff out the scratches. Typically, minor scratches are only on the clear coat over your actual paint.
Wet one piece of 600 grit sandpaper - run it over the scratched area in a circular motion and repeat with a dry piece of 600 grit sandpaper too. Rub with both wet and dry sandpapers for around 3 to 3 minutes. Don't worry if your acrylic looks more frosty or scratched - this will go away during the process.

The clear case is very slippery, much more slippery than the Apple silicone case. I just bought it yesterday, not considering that the grippiness would be so different, and I am going to exchange it for a silicone one.
Clear phone cases are normally made from silicone—a polymer that's popular for its inexpensive and flexible properties. Unfortunately, these polymers turn yellow as they age. This natural process is accelerated when they are exposed to excessive amounts of chemicals, light and heat.
The Apple clear case has neither turned Yellow nor is it showing any signs of it turning Yellow. The Spigen case is a very good MagSafe compatible case and it has strong magnets as well. Unfortunately, this case is showing light "Yellowing" where the material is soft TPU (around the edges).
The sun's ultraviolet radiationThe sun's UV rays are the main culprit of yellow discoloration in silicone phone cases. If you are outdoors with your phone for the majority of the time, your phone is constantly being exposed to the sun's ultraviolet radiation.
It's pretty simple, white plastic/rubber will probably definitely 'yellow' over time. Whereas white glass is painted on the back so probably won't change at all.
Do CASETiFY clear phone cases turn yellow easily? Our clear case is made from TPU, a material that is durable and malleable, so they're easy to fit, and offers high protection. The level of yellowing completely depends on using habits and the environments in which the phone case is used.
One of the main issues with clear phone cases is discoloration and yellowing that happens naturally from UV ray exposure and oil absorption from lotions and sweat.
Yes, they do yellow a bit, but it wasn't too noticeable. Do you find this helpful? My clear Spigen phone 7 plus case turned yellow after a year despite my best efforts to keep it clean. Other Spigen cases are really good.
There is, however, steps that can be taken to avoid or lessen the chance of future yellowing!
- Keep your phone/case out of direct sunlight at all costs — If you're outside, keep your phone covered/in a bag if possible!
- Avoid any other direct visible light exposure, such as harsh lights or lamps.
