Hey guys, I'm searching for a clear MagSafe case that doesn't turn yellow for my iPhone 14 Pro.

On my previous 13 PM had the Torras Diamond which stayed clear after 8 months but doesn't have MagSafe.
Switched to Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagSafe and turned yellow in a month or so.

Any suggestion?
 
RhinoShield Clear? I haven't gotten a chance to check out their iPhone 14 series cases, but their 13 Pro Clear cases have a no yellow guarantee and they have super strong magnets. Plus, they are very drop protective!

Thanks for the suggestion. Have you tried for a couple of months?

Spigen also claim no yellowing but it’s totally false.
 
Apple’s clear case doesn’t from my experience but you’ll have to deal with the magsafe ring.
 
Caudabe Lucid Clear is what I now have. It is a hard case all around with no TPU so it won't yellow. Bottom is closed unlike the Apple case. You also get the option of a white or charcoal MagSafe ring.

I also have the Apple clear case but prefer the Lucid as it's closed at the bottom and has the charcoal ring which looks better on the space black phone imho.

No long term use data for you, unfortunately. I switched to the 14 Pro very soon after this video. However, RhinoShield claims that they will replace it under warranty if it turns yellow...

How strong are most non-Apple MagSafe cases these days? Back in the iPhone 12 days, most of the 3rd party ones reportedly sucked for magnet strength.

It's disappointing that the Spigen one yellows. I was eyeing that for my wife's 14 Pro Max, as some reviews say it has strong MagSafe magnets, and it doesn't rock on the table. I don't see the Rhinoshield clear case with MagSafe available on Amazon.ca so maybe we don't have that option here in Canada.

The Lucid clear has a very strong magnet. As strong as the Apple clear. Below is from Caudabe's website:

MAGSAFE, THE CAUDABE WAY​

A magnet isn't just a magnet and MagSafe isn't just MagSafe. We custom source high-grade neodymium magnets for use in the Sheath. In fact, the magnets we source are a higher grade than what Apple recommends in their guidelines for third party accessory manufacturers. The end result: a strong, consistent magnetic attachment, and full compatibility with all of your MagSafe accessories.

IMO every single soft clear case will yellow over time, no matter what the manufacturer says. You can either get a hard one without TPU or switch it out every now and then.
