Exactly the reason I've ordered Apple's version. Hitting the bottom "lip" of other cases can get annoying since I use my phone a lot... minor design detail, but does make a difference!
I wonder how much revenue was lost by this minor delay in a small accessory option. It's probably a staggering amount for a normal sized company.
Clever, as always.
I must ask what happens if you don't get at least 75 likes each day. Do you fall into a coma or turn back into a pumpkin? What a shame that would be.
Wow, what an innovatieve design. You’ll only see this coming from Apple. There is a video somewhere where johny Ive talks about the vision and craftsmanship behind the design. Magical
Some will even go as far to say that this is Apple 'innovation' at its finest...

But it has an Apple logo on it... wait... does it? LOL
LOL good point, I was thinking the same.
I will buy one, take some photos and send you - all for just $39 US.
I think Apple thinks clear plastic is too cheap looking for its premium glass and steel phones.
Got mine on order they make the best cases IMO. This line of thinking must be why people buy Apples leather watch straps for £150, exclusively made in Chinese sweat shops..

Apple has begun selling its long-awaited iPhone XR clear case on
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 only became available to purchase today, limiting customers to third-party options until now.
(Thanks, Joshua!)

$11.99 for Spigen
Yeap, that’s the one I currently have and it’s very bulky, have the Apple one on order as I suspect it’ll be a lot thinner.
That's exactly what I have. Love it. I've had Spigen cases on my last several iPhones. Yes they do yellow somewhat after a while. That is not indicative of the quality though. All clear TPU cases yellow. It is simply a characteristic of the material.
$11.99 for Spigen
I recently bought a Huawei Mate SE, which comes with 4GB of memory, 64GB of storage, dual SIM, includes a built in FM Radio, a 5.93 FHD+ display and Huawei gives you a free clear case in the box, all for $229. I'm glad i'm brand agnostic cause I sure as hell would not drop $40 on a clear case after spending $700 on the company's smartphone, ouch.
That guy really struggled getting the case off the packaging and putting it on the phone. Maybe he should cut off the whiskey
The difference being between a clear case and Apple Watch bands, Apple Watch bands are more personable, offering a variety of colors, which are significantly more well made over third party watch bands.
Why would someone want to pay $40 for a clear case, when there are plenty of third-party options available, where some of Apples watch bands are exclusive in color for a limited time, that some third-party manufactured do not offer. Significant difference in what you’re comparing in your post.

Caudabe Lucid Clear case doesn’t turn yellow one bit. Have had it on my iPhone X since launch. Great case.
I could almost hear Sir Jony Ive talking directly over my right ear, soothing my rotten apple soul when I read your post. This is exactly what he will said if the case ever got a presentation on stage.
Or are you Jony himself?
