Does anyone know if the apple clear case covers the buttons? I prefer it doesn't.... Thanks in advance

I've never really been a fan of clear cases, but I'm considering getting this case because this phone looks so good. I'm hoping the quality of this is good since its an apple product.
I used to dislike clear cases too and usually get the Apple leather case for my iPhones. About 6 months ago I got a clear case for my gold XS Max, and I really appreciated being able to enjoy the finish on the phone and have some protection. I got a lot of compliments too. The main disappointment was that the cased yellowed. I even tried a second brand that professed to resist yellowing, but eventually it did too. Fortunately, with a gold phone, the yellowing was not as noticeable as it could have been with one of the other color phones. I don’t now if Apple’s clear case will resist yellowing any better, but I doubt it. Maybe they will replace it under warranty when it does? Regardless, I’ll be getting the Apple clear case for the Midnight Green Pro Max I’m pre-ordering. The beauty of the phone can be seen, which has always bothered me with the leather or silicon cases.
 
It's obvious from the pics that it covers the buttons.

Check out the thread for the clear Xr case. No one has noticed yellowing.

Looks like the soonest you can get this case now is Sept 25th - 30th shipping window. Soonest for in-store pick up in my area is Oct. 1st.

Has anyone seen this listed on any site other than Apple?

Beside making the phone looks good, the new midnight green color can be shown off as it is the new iPhone color.
 
I used the Supcase on my XS Max and will use it again for the 1Pro Max.

No yellowing at all, and I like the fit and finish of the case, along with the black edges. I tend to get the silver handset, so it looks nice with the black edges (I think so anyways).
I also like that it covers all edges of the phone - including the bottom, whereas other cases leave the bottom completely open....

Anyone seen a real one yet, maybe at some Apple store somewhere?
 
It's definitely not matte. It just clear plastic, with a bit of a shine to it.

well darn.... thanx....

I miss the days of bumpers! I thought the bumpers and a skin were the perfect iphone combination! (I even got a matte skin back in the day with a pink bumper and was SO in LOVE with my phone! haha!)
 
Dunno. I ordered case and screen protector from Amazon for a total of $20. Good enuf. The same stuff I used on this phone and has kept it in perfect condition.
 
Anyone have the Apple clear case for the XR?

Any pics of it after use? Does it yellow at all?
I’ve had an Apple XR clear case for about 9 months, still no yellowing that I can see. But to be honest it’s my least favorite case I’ve ever owned. Fingerprint magnet, almost impossible to remove as its on so tight, feels like your going to break the phone removing it. Here’s a pic of it against white paper so you can see the coloring.
