Apple Could Reverse Controversial Clear Case Design With iPhone 18 Pro

[M4irmidnight]

They would need to make a different case for every color. They’re not doing that.

Look up iPhone 5C cases. Nothing new.

reviews described the white panel as a "deal breaker" for some buyers who wanted to show off the color of their phone.

That was exactly why I returned the one I ordered. I went with a clear Spigeon case for the Cosmic Orange iPhone I bought. That big white patch looked awful.

If I was in charge the clear case just wouldn’t have the MagSafe ring at all.

Hot take I know but if I want clear , I want clear . lol

They should just call it a semi-clear case. Problem solved.

Man, Apple's case design unit is just cursed. Between weird white panels, getting rid of leather, Fine/Tech/ScratchWoven, and wildly overpriced silicone, it's like Apple needs a tax write-off or something. Don't buy our cases! Buy Nomad or some cheap Amazon thing!

If they're cursed, it's because they got rid of real leather. Once they did, I went Nomad and never went back.

Those are the fakest looking cases I've ever seen - no shot that Apple would actually release the broken MagSafe ring

These are 100% knock offs that have been available for years. As a clear case enthusiast I can confirm they are garbage and not worth your time.

I don't really care since I've got a 17 Pro and I'm changing on a 3-years cycle, but initially I though that the logo being centred on the lower part instead of the whole phone looked weird, but after spending months with the phone, I have to agree it was really the right design call. If they move it back in the global middle it will be a bad idea.

I have to disagree (just checked out the back of my 17 Pro Max). Many MANY CASES have a visible MagSafe ring that is centered… with respect to the whole phone, not the bottom part. And they all look fine.

Having an Apple logo that was positioned towards the top of the glass plate would have been the most minor of design compromises and would have solved all MagSafe related design issues with the current placement. They made the wrong call.

Clear case for 17 series was never clear. Will be good if it is actually clear for the 18 series. Anyway I am very happy with Spigen case for my 17 Pro Max.

The literal first sentence of this article says these are third party cases.

True, yet the title itself and the rest of the article make it sound that Apple might tweak their own cases accordingly.

Look at the size of that camera hole! By iPhone 21, the entire back side of the phone will be one giant camera. They will have a handle on the side, shaped like a old telephone handle, so that you can hold the thing.

I like the current clear case. Had no idea there was this much controversy.

Transparent Aluminum or GTFO.

This case only works with Silver 17 Pro/Max.
for other 2 tones it looks comically ugly.
