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

[shahr04360]

Is AAPL too desperate? That's overpriced!

I'd be curious to see this in person, but after trying a couple clear cases on Amazon, they became bulky and made the phone feel like a brick. I'll likely keep it naked.

Good luck keeping this clean from dust...

 

[Rogifan]

I wonder if it yellows like most clear cases do.

I kept my xr naked for a week and while I love the feel without a case the very bottom corner on the back has a thin strip of scuffs. The back glass is not very rugged. I’d love a clear film for the back but none go edge to edge due to the curved glass.

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

Because Apple just started making cases that are more expensive than 3rd parties?

I’m sure 3rd party case makers are glad Apple isn’t competing with them on price.

It'll be gross in a couple of weeks. It'll dull, get yellow, scratch (despite whatever "coating" is has on it), and worst, it'll get dust underneath - the worst thing about ANY clear case.

$39 dollars? That's a steal ... there are no other makers of clear cases on the market at all.
So clear thumbs up from me.

I got a Totallee case for my XS and love it. It’s been over two months and still no sign of yellowing and the quality is amazing. They currently sell their XR case for $29.

I like clear cases, but does anyone else have the problem when you use the camera flash it causes the picture to totally wash out? I've had this happen on my S8+ and LG V40. I'm not sure if the same thing happens on the iPhones or not.

Gotta admit, it has a very subtle beauty to it:

I love your posts

 

[cableguy84]

I think this case will revolutionise the smartphone industry

 

[Caliber26]

OK, so where's the clear case for the iPhone XS?

Is Black/White/Gold not a color we should be showing off?

I got a Totallee case for my XS and it’s perfect. Thin, light, and almost nonexistent. No signs of yellowing or scratching plus their warrantee says it’ll exchange your case if it turns yellow. And it’s $10 cheaper than Apple’s.

Wow £45 in the UK ($60)!

In Poland it’s 199zl ($50).

UK paying very high prices for Apple at the moment

I went for this £16.95 leather case. The vol buttons are a bit squinty but it is real leather and feels (and smells!) amazing

$11.99 for Spigen

Would it kill them to post an alternate view? Can someone please go buy this and give us a side/front angle view? Much thanks. Also curious what the texture feels like.

I’m about to walk past an Apple Store, will let nip in and have a look

I wish they would make one for the XS!! I would have to get one!

Raise your hand if you always knew the price was going to be incredibly stupid.

Can you imagine if Apple sold a case for 10 or 20 bucks. The world might end.

A clear speck presidio case for the XR is the EXACT SAME PRICE. it's not that bad since it's probably high quality and hopefully won't yellow

Soon Apple will find a way to sell air in a box.

Two things - Spigen sells a case that's the same design and costs 9 dollars. Also, it will yellow.

Yeahhhh ummm no. The cost of materials amd labor is so little, we're talking 2 nickles difference between cheap and cheaper to make. TPU sex toys with lots more material amd intricate detail don't cost $39. Btw that was just am example, it was the first thing made of TPU to come to mind

Are you sure? BestSkinsEver and SlickWraps do have clear skins that DO go all the way and cover the entire glass. That's why you have to use a hairdryer during installation so the edges can stick but there's no guarantee they won't peel off after time.
