Anyone recommend the thinnest clear case for iPhone 13 Pro available in UK.

I’ve heard the Peel are the thinnest, but seem expensive and only ship from abroad.

I’ve looked at lots on Amazon UK and although a lot say thinnest etc, some have corner bump protection which in mum opinion make them thicker.

I want a case that is the thinnest fit possible, clear so can see the iPhone colour. I’m not bothered about it having MagSafe on for this case, as that would make it thicker. I have an official Apple silicone, which is good but obviously cover up all the colour on the iPhone.

Thanks
 
No one found a decent thin clear case in UK? That hand actually got and used?

How is the Apple clear one? Never had the Apple official clear case, Linda the silicone ones, is this thin, or bulky compared to Peel etc?

Thanks
 
Ah ok didn’t realise that thanks. I’m wanting a totally clear case.
When you want a fully transparant and clear case, you need to buy a TPU “silicon” case. But the downside of these cases is, they turn a bit yellow after a while due to your hand sweat.

If they turn yellow and not too expensive, can just buy another. I know all the manufacturers now seem to advertise as no yellowing, but as you say think a lot do.

Tried an ESR one, not sure of name as all have daft different names, but was too slack in the sides.

Still looking if anyone knows please. Link ideally to Amazon UK to get exact one.

Thanks
 
The Peel cases aren‘t really transparant/clear. They are frosty.


They do a transparent clear hard case as well as their transparent clear softy case. Introduced with the 11 era phones.

They don't show the case on the website it seems?

The clear hard is not super clear its kind of opaque. The clear soft is clear. They do yellow over time like ALL other tpu clear cases. But good thing is that when it gets yellow you are eligible for 1 free replacement .

Long lead times to UK and expensive, never seen one.

Also the hard one if not fully transparent/clear then wouldn’t want so would have to be the soft TPU one. Are they really better, thinner than others readily available on Amazon UK?

Thanks
 
How is the Apple clear case? Is it thin? Can’t imagine it is compared to some. Happy to pay for that if it’s thin and hasn’t got air bumpers, shock corners etc as these make it thicker which is not what I’m after.

I just bought an Apple clear MagSafe case today. The buttons are easier to press than the ones last year. It’s a tiny bit thicker than I’d like, but it’s probably thinner than similar clear cases that aren’t soft TPU.

I’m really debating if I want to keep it, as I’m nervous about all the reviewers who’ve had it crack from normal use. $50 is a lot, unless it’s going to last.
 
Not true. The Clear hard is clear, as is the Clear soft. I have both.

Has your Peel soft clear case held its shape well or does it seem like it’ll stretch out easily? For the price of it, that’s the main thing that worries me.
 
Just received and installed the clear hard on my Pro Saturday. Fit and finish are perfect, would be surprised if it lost its shape, or yellowed.

Haven’t installed the clear soft yet.

This is what it’s hard to compare with. Not sure it will be thinnest compared to say a Peel/0.3mm case. I imagine should be the best fit and finish, but is it the thinnest?

is it this one on Amazon UK? memumi Case for iPhone 13 PRO, Ultra Slim 0.3 mm Case for iPhone 13 PRO, Matte Finish Extra Thin Case, Anti-Scratch and Fingerprint Resistant Case -Transparent White (6.1 '' 2021) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B099WBWFWY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_N4RKM4PNCHQCRTE0TD6S

It says “trans-white” what does this mean? Is it fully transparent or transparent-white? Not sure what it means? Does it show the iPhone colour through, or is it white/transparent?

You have the Peel hard clear? Are you in UK and ordered online? Is it worth it? It’s expensive for what it is, but will get it if perfect and thinnest I can get.

Not true. The Clear hard is clear, as is the Clear soft. I have both.
Which is best? Which is thinnest? Are they both easy to remove as like to swap about.

If you remove them frequently, the material will disfigure/stretch. That’s the only bad thing about the shoe thin cases - soft or hard.

Probably yes, but if I find one that’s thin, this has discount so will buy a few as so cheap.

I’d be happy to pay for Apple clear as well but not sure how thin and haven’t been to Apple shop to try it.
