How’s the XR clear case holding up?

I already washed case and phone with wet napkin. It's third time that I wearing this case and every try it was with bubbles. I'm afraid that few more removing and putting back and cover will cracks. It's very hard to remove it.
So, it doesn't yellow? If so, then it might be worth that much.
I wonder why won't Apple release the clear case for XS/XS Max?

Take the cover off and press on the spot with your thumb print and put it back on.
Ok, so I removed case (after 3 attempts) and washed with soap. Dry it and put it back again. So far it looks better. If I push that spot it's not sticking to phone. I will see how it look like after few days

.I actually bought the clear case again (on eBay lightly used around 20$) and have been happy with it overall. I only see those bubbles if I get a slight amount of moisture caught under the case. But I’ve found it best to just deal with the dust particles that get trapped and stop trying to take it on and off too much.Ok, so I removed case (after 3 attempts) and washed with soap.

I’ve had this case for a month and a half. Not had many issues with contact patches, but it is a finger print magnet.
Didn’t bother me too much as a quick wipe down with a micro fibre cloth soon sorted that.
Major issue was that after about six weeks I took the case off to clean the phone. It cracked at the lower right hand corner. I haven’t dropped or bumped my phone.
Contacted apple and they are sending a replacement. Happy with the service but not sure how the replacement case will hold up. Time will tell...

You can’t. That’s just what happens when you smash something up against a glass surface. Try pushing your cheek up against a window. Same thing.
Just get something like the Caudabe Lucid Clear for half the price and better quality. It has really faint dots on the inside of the case that are hardly visible but that prevent this bubble effect from happening. Plus it covers the bottom of the phone unlike any of the Apple cases. Frankly I’m surprised at such poor design from Apple.
so people who have had this case for a while, has it yellowed at all?
my spigen liquid crystal TPU is getting pretty yellow

No yellowing so far on my end. Just a lot of dog hair getting caught in it and I keep thinking it’s a scratch or crack on the phone

I can live with that, are lots of dust and linty particles getting lodged in between the back glass and case though? Thats what annoys me most about clear cases, in addition to yellowing. Glad that aint much of an issue tho, the yellowing aspect
My Apple XR case has two cracks in it in the corner. I'm almost positive they appeared from taking the XR in and out of the case. I have not had any drops with the case on, at least on that corner; I have dropped the XR in the Apple case but so far I've been lucky in that it's happened on padded carpeting every time.
At first, I *hated* the button feel (or, better put, lack thereof). Had to press SUPER HARD on any of the 3 buttons to get them to work.
Just for laughs, I tried running each of the 3 buttons under the tap, hot water. This helped a pretty decent amount. Buttons aren't "mushy," but they do feel a little easier to press now.
No coloring/staining at all.
The Apple case is pretty much my daily now. A ton of dust, yes--bugs me. Have to clean the case pretty much every other day. I use 1 of the 2 other cheap cases I have for working out.
Now I wish I could find a TPU/soft/protective case that DOESN'T TURN BLUE from going in/out of my jeans' pockets. I've tried both the Silk Nudist for XR case and the CANSHN cases, both are tinted blue now.

I haven’t noticed too much stuff getting caught between the back and the case. Mostly, just some dust along the edges and the sides, but nothing usually makes it to the back. I personally take the case off and wipe it down maybe every other week or so if it started looking too bad along the edges.
isnt it super difficult to remove? wont it snap if you remove it enough times, the weak spot between the vibrate cut out and the lip?
I broke 3 cases...two by taking them on and off too many times (apparently) and one cracked after a two foot drop onto concrete. Better the case than the phone. I’m not going to try to get a 4th case out of Apple since it’s not their fault I dropped it, but I’m also not going to bother to pay for it a second time.
Mine has been difficult to remove, but I guess I’m careful enough not to stress it too much. No issues with snapping yet *knock on wood*
