What clear case for iPhone 15 Pro?

[cawgijoe]

Got the Raptic Air Clear yesterday for my 13 pro. It's got rubberized material on the sides which makes it less slippery than others. Feels good in the hand. The top and bottom and around the top sides, is a silver meatal band for protection and strength. I believe the back is a hard polycarbonate that hopefully won't yellow over time. The area around the camera is raised for camera protection. Very similar to other clear cases I'm assuming, but I do like their focus on drop protection. For a discounted price of $36 with free shipping, I can't complain.
Also, the free shipping took one day! Surprised the heck out of me.

Torras clear case with MagSafe just arrived. I love the way it looks, especially with the orange buttons.

I have dry hands so for me its not slippery.
if they are sweaty, yes, it becomes a little slippery.

I bought a few, including Spigen Ultra Hybrid.

The thinnest with magsafe, which I kept, is the Ringke Fusion.

I only bought ones that were soft or had at least a TPU frame with hard back (like Spigen Ultra Hybrid and Ringke Fusion). No hard snap on cases because they leave marks and abrasions on the metal part.

Thanks for the tip on the Ringke. Just received today and I like it much better than the Torras clear. The sides of the Ringke have more grip than the Torras, and the back is slightly Frosted, compared to the clear Torras. 9/10.

Ranking of cases that that I have so far:

1. Apple Silicone (Clay)
2. Ringke MagSafe Matte Clear
3. Apple Fine Woven (Taupe)
4. Torras Clear

Ordered but not received: Bullstap (Dune).

I got a Spigen ultra hybrid clear. I like the feel of it. Grippy. But I’m almost certain this will go yellow sooner or later. They do advertise it’s anti yellowing but I bought Spiegen clear for my Dad twice for his 13PM and they all went yellow.

I like how some of you said the Ringke is thin. I may try it out. But then the TPU around the case will eventually go yellow. It’ll be a waste again. I rather buy something $50 and not yellowing.

I upgrade yearly, but I’d rather get two $19 cases I like and will need to replace than one $40 case I think will last but doesn’t feel as good

I have used the Spigen Ultra since the 13 PM and every time about 4 months into it I send a picture and email about the yellowing. A new one shows up in the mail about a week later. Yay for customer service that's why I continue to use it on my 15PM as well.

So you prefer to continue to use a bad quality case instead to change it?

Ouch... LOL. TPU will yellow sooner or later. I want the grip of TPU and clear at the same time. So proven Customer Service lets me have both.

I like Apple’s clear cases and I got one of those, but I also ordered the dbrand ghost case. I’m a little skeptical at how durable that is though.

I am very interested in the Dbrand Ghost as well looking forward to seeing user hands on reviews.

As far as I know, there is no way to prevent TPU cases or parts yellowing, so I am very curious to know if you find something decent, as harder transparent plastic cases tend to scratch the iPhone’s sides. Perhaps with clear cases we need to accept yellowing as a given and change them every 3-6 months, like gloves. If this is so, then buying a soft slim TPU case like ESR Zero (around 10$) could be a better option. 🤷🏻‍♂️

How do Apple’s clear cases handle putting them on and taking them off regularly to clean up the stuff that gets between the case and the iPhone? Is it as easy to remove as softer TPU offerings? Does it leave any marks on the iPhone metal sides after keeping it on for a while in your experience?

The case is very stiff and not easy to remove from the iPhone. Once you got it loose, the sides tend to show micro cracks.

Thank you, will stay away from it then and try the ones with softer TPU edges then. 👍

Is the Torras Diamond Mag TPU or polycarbonate?

I picked up the Pelican ranger for the 15PM. Never had a clear/TPU case, but I like it so far. Hard to tell if it is more or less slippery than other clear cases, but doesn't seem to bad to me (for comparison, the most slick case I can remember was the symmetry I had on the 8 plus).

Pros:
-Relatively cheap $20 or less on sale
-snug fit with solid sides and bottom with minimal flex
-5 mm camera lip all the way around (primary reason for me picking this one versus Torras/spigen etc)
-Good magsafe, FW wallet has no issues so far, and camera lip probably actually helps from the wallet getting knocked off going in/out of pockets
-corners are beefed up


Cons:
-No action button (cutout version only as far as I can tell, not a huge deal for me).
-lip around the screen could be taller, would like a 1-2mm lip on each of the rear corners like some of their bigger cases have.

I ordered the DBrand Ghost case. Will have to see if it's as good as reviewed.

This is the case I am wanting to Pre-Order but I want to see reviews first. I hope its true that it doesn't yellow. However I am afraid it'll be a fingerprint magnet with oily fingerprints and smudges.

I have tried many cases. I have had the ROXX Clear Case, but was not happy with the feel of the case. Too slippery. I have bought an Apple Clear Case, but I simply can’t press the buttons as they are waaaay too stiff. Totally not worth 60 EUR.

Then I bought the TORRAS Diamond Mag. Bingo, that’s a great case! It is not slippery, it is thin, a closed bottom and has great buttons. Moreover, I changed the action button into the orange button, like on my Apple Watch Ultra. This is the case I recommend if you want a clear case!

Having gone through multiple reviews, YouTube videos, etc., my plan was to find a sturdy full TPU case (as hard back plastic cases seem to be more slippery), so for now I test ESR Project Zero Clear Case:

ESR Clear Case for iPhone 15 Case, Shockproof Thin Cover, Yellowing-Resistant Slim Transparent TPU Phone Case, Zero Series, Clear

ESR Clear Case For iPhone 15 Case, Shockproof Thin Cover, Yellowing-Resistant Slim Transparent TPU Phone Case, Zero Series, Clear

www.amazon.com

It fits really well, the buttons are nicely clicky and, along with the advertised screen raised border, it also has slightly raised corners (top and bottom). So when iPhone lies flat with the screen up, the bottom of the case floats about 1 mm above, potentially reducing the wear/scratches of the case’s back.

The anti-yellowing claim to be tested by a few months of use, however ESR give their cases a two year warranty.

The only possible minus is less strong MagSafe connection, compared to other MagSafe optimised cases, which ESR also make. However, I have not used MagSafe so far, so for me it is not an issue.

It’s been just a few days so far, but so far I am very happy with it. Way better than Apple’s own, that is hard as a brick, very hard to take off for regular cleaning and costs four times more!

I bought the Apple clear case for my 15 Pro blue. The reason I went with Apple is that I use a MagSafe car mount and have had poor “grip” with 3rd party cases, which fall off even when going over a moderate bump.

This is another mighty one for those bumps to try, they claim it can hold 8 x the mass of the iPhone:

ESR for iPhone 15 Pro Case, Compatible with MagSafe, Military-Grade Protection, Yellowing Resistant, Scratch-Resistant Back, Magnetic Phone Case for iPhone 15 Pro, Classic Series, Clear

ESR for iPhone 15 Pro Case, Compatible with MagSafe, Military-Grade Protection, Yellowing Resistant, Scratch-Resistant Back, Magnetic Phone Case for iPhone 15 Pro, Classic Series, Clear

The advantage of this over Apple’s own is that it covers the bottom of the iPhone and has less rigid sides, so is easier to remove as needed and is less likely to scratch those titanium sides.
