Apple's Clear Case is junk

[rmoliv]

Pure junk that costs you 45 euros.
They say it has an anti-scratch coating HOWEVER mine already has several hairline scratches only from cleaning it with a microfiber cloth.
The case is also quite hard which makes it hard to install and remove as well as press the volume and power buttons.
It also collects dust particles on the inside so you better be quick to install it before it gets dirty with lint, your dog's hair, etc.
Really, terrible product...

Good thing you can return it, right?

I’m currently using this case. I like it due to how thin it is with the right amount of grip but yet still slides in and out of my pocket easily. But I do get dust particles as you mentioned. Not sure I would say that it’s junk though. I use a case because I don’t want my phone to get scratched, I don’t care if my case gets scratched. The price is fine for me as I was comparing it to Otterbox and Speck cases. If you compare it to the cheap clear cases on Amazon, then yes of course it’s overpriced.

It sounds like you should probably return the case and go with another case.

I will keep it because I don't like to buy third party accessories when there are Apple ones available, but for the price I was expecting something better, more malleable, and that wouldn't collect as many dust particles.

So, you are saying that you will buy garbage made by Apple over quality made by a third party?

Understandable to want a better product for the price it costs. It’s too bad Apple didn’t release this phone with the silicone and leather case options like the other iPhones. I probably would have went with a silicone case instead if they did.

It’s plastic

Not sure what anybody would buy one when spigen do the same job

I'm saying I'd rather have an original accessory than a third party even if they are better quality than Apple's.

So exactly what eyoungren said? lol that is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. There are plenty of companies that make high quality accessories for Apple products but you would rather pay more for something you don’t like just because Apple sells it?!

 

[eyoungren]

Well, okay. Original garbage then.

Sorry, not piling on you, but you brought up the fact that the case is junk.

You'd rather have an original accessory that is junk. Just because it's Apple.

Just wow…

Why?

So you buy something that you say is garbage and decide to keep it. So why complain?

 

[chabig]

It sounds like you need a case for your case.

Perhaps they don't want to complain about "third party accessories when there are Apple ones available"?

Sounds about right. Let me buy this high priced garbage rather then complaining about low priced garbage

I would highly recommend retraining yourself to remove "original accessory" from your thought patterns. Original accessories aren't always the best tool for the job and can be the source of frustration.. as you've experienced.

 

[BigMcGuire]

Is it just me??? I can't use clear cases because of the dust particles I see getting in the case, especially with a black phone. I'd have to have a white phone for the clear case to kinda work, and even then, when I did have a white 6s+, the dust particles getting in the phone over time (I put my phone in my back pocket) drove me nuts. Couldn't do a clear case.

Yes, just because it's Apple.

It's just that one would expect better from Apple.

You may be right but I'm kind of OCD when it comes to this, products and accessories should be the same brand whenever possible.

As you know, I'm not the one to ask.

Do you suffer this problem with the tires on your car? Are your stereo, TV, speakers, etc. all from the same company? Do your refrigerator, stove, microwave and coffee maker all match? Pants, socks, shoes, jacket? I fail to see why your phone should be any different.

You do realize Apple didn’t manufacture the case right? A third party made it and Apple had them put their name on it...

 

[Lobwedgephil]

First time owning a clear case?

 

[rdunlap]

Reminds me of the Revolutionary Laptop With No Keyboard video from The Onion.

"I'll buy almost anything if it's shiny and made by apple"

I try to be consistent. My TV and soundbar are both LG as are most of my home appliances. If I wear an adidas tracksuit the rest will be adidas too, socks and shoes included. Same with phone.

Anyway, I got rid of the damn clear case. It makes the phone look ugly and feel cheap because of the plastic. I'll use it naked as it's supposed to. Gets scratched I'll get another one...

You may be better off that way. I have been an iPhone fan for 5 years and never had a case on any of my iPhones, iPods or iPads. I've never broken or scratched any of them - it may be that the absence of a case forces one to be more careful, knowing there is no protection other than taking better care of the device.
