Does anyone have a photo of their XR with the Apple Clear Case that they’ve had for several months? When the XR first came out, cases (especially clear) were hard to find.

I spent $50 on the Otterbox Symmetry Clear Case and I have 3 small (first world) issues with it.

1. Box advertised that it was scratch resistant. After months it has 5 million scratches. And I take great care of it. I understand it’s not “scratch proof” but the amount of scratches on it looks insane.

2. The back of the case is still clear (besides the scratches) but the sides turned an ugly black/green-ish color.

3. Unlike the Apple clear case, the Otterbox case does not have an “opening” on the bottom. So when I go to swipe up on the screen, I always hit the bottom of the case with my pointer finger before it even touches the screen.


Again these are minor issues and they don’t stop by from loving this phone. Alas, I would love a case that stays clear and is VERY GOOD at preventing scratches.

How is your Apple Clear Case holding up?

To be honest, all the clear case has the same issue.
So maybe get a better price case, and get a new one every a few months?
