Apple Begins Selling iPhone XR Clear Case, Costs $39 in United States

[NinjaHERO]

Been getting clear cases off of Amazon for years. 10 bucks and never had one yellow on me. But glad Apple is finally making something people clearly (pun) want. Why have those cool colors if you can't show them off.

Nice case - wish it has the perforations that the 5C case from Apple did.

I think the internet would love the resurrection of that case again

fifty five bucks in Canada - that's a lot of Tim Horton's!

I know eh?

10-cent plastic case for CA$55. Dream on, Apple.

 

[bbednarz]

Great, now that it is released everyone can stop complaining that no cases exist for it and instead complain about how expensive it is!

 

[Jimmy Bubbles]

At $39, how could you not get it! Wait, there's more...

 

[DrJohnnyN]

No leather though

only premium leather for a premium product.

Jesus H....FINALLY

That clear case with the open bottom is nice though, something other third parties lacked.

"When we sat down to design a case for the XR we wanted something that would showcase the beauty underneath. What's more elegant than thermo-injection-moulded clear plastic? Every angle, every opening was carefully placed to be perfectly symmetrical with the XR while still providing the highest level of protection."

10 bucks says this yellows in a month.

Not implying Apple's quality is shoddy, just I haven't found a clear case yet which doesn't.

Uag does not yellow

Genuinely interested in the reason this was made available with a delay after its corresponding iPhone was released.

Maybe Apple just had a case of “uh… didn’t you press the ‘release’ button?”

 

[roncron]

How long until it turns yellow? Hopefully four times longer than the $10 clear cases on Amazon.

Apple has begun selling its long-awaited iPhone XR clear case on Apple.com and at many Apple Stores around the world. The case is priced at $39 in the United States, with online orders placed today estimated for delivery within a few days.

Apple says the case is crafted from a blend of clear polycarbonate and flexible TPU plastics, with a scratch-resistant coating applied to both the exterior and interior. The clear design is appropriate given the iPhone XR is available in a variety of colors, such as yellow, blue, white, coral, and (PRODUCT)RED.

Apple's description of the case:This is the first Apple-branded case available for the iPhone XR since the device launched October 26. Apple mentioned the case in its iPhone XR press release in certain countries back in October, but it just became available today.

(Thanks, Joshua!)

Readers: “There’s no iPhone XR case! Where’s Apple’s clear case?!”
*Apple releases this*
Readers: “$40?! It’ll yellow! It’s so expensive! There’s tons of cheaper options on Amazon and eBay what a rip off!”

After winning your 10 bucks you can buy from eBay or Amazon an exactly equal clear case

Even on a plastic piece Apples manages to put a 10% markup over the USA.

No doubt to support the extended warranty costs from one extra year of one piece of plastic repairs.

Can you blame them, those literally costs nickles to make.

 

[Ultramove69]

$39? That’s a steal!

 

[Icaras]

And ordered! Finally! Thank you Apple!

Now where is my AirPower?

 

[dmk1974]

What a rip! Here's my review of a few clear cases and one smoke case. I could by all 4 of these for less than Apple's!

Used to have a clear case for my old black iPhone 5S. I sandwiched graphics I made and printed behind the clear. Custom Cases whenever I wanted. I hope they make clear ones for other models for the same reason.

Or less than $10 on amazon.com.

I agree. It’s very Apple-like and I love the look of it.

Looks like any cheap clear case

... so there is this phone that has very thin bezels to look awesome, but because it’s slippery and fragile, it needs a thick case to protect it. So what if we keep the inner parts of this phone and replace the thin metal case with a thicker yet cheaper polymer shell? Mind blowing!

PS i know it won’t work because smartphones are fashion items rather than practical devices.

Not with Apple’s signature open bottom, it doesn’t.

Perhaps a rounding error in Apple’s books, but the lost sales caused by the delay probably amounted to millions of dollars.

Lost sales for Apple but millions of dollars in sales for everyone else that is selling them at a 1/3 of the Apple price!
