Do not like Spigen cases - every clear Spigen case Ive had in the past has always yellowed so now I avoid them.
Agreed on the clear ones - I have really enjoyed their Tough Armor series though!

This is something all clear cases suffer from. Your loss on not using Spigen cases. They make some of the best cases out there. Been using them for over 10 years myself. Their tough Armor case has saved my bacon more times than I care to admit.

The price per performance ratio can't be beat. But all you apple boys keep spending tripple the money on the same product.

Only apple cases for me, best fit and design, also easy to get a refund or swap out for another case if it gets damaged.
I find Caudabe's cases to be better than Apple's. Caudabe's Sheath range are the perfect case IMO as they retain that minimalist look that Apple's cases have but look and feel more premium. Bought one a couple of months back and it fits perfectly. Also, not that it's my biggest consideration at all, but they're <$30, compared to Apple's ridiculous circa $50 for a silicone case.

I have been using a 'SupCase' branded clear case on my iPhone 11 for the past 2 years - no yellowing whatsoever. Been very happy with it.
My wife is using a clear case from 'Torras' (or something similar!) on her iPhone 12 - no yellowing whatsoever.
I'll likely choose one of these for the 13 as soon as they have them available.
Spigen clear cases yellow within weeks.

This is fake as xxxx, how can they have reviews now before people use them?
The links themselves are dead, 404 errors a plenty. It seems google is pulling in search results from other Spigen products. Feel free to use the same key terms I did and see if you can replicate my results - good luck!

I have used the Mous cases for a couple generations like them a lot they are $$$ but has good protection. This year I am thinking of getting an Apple branded case not sure yet. I am just worried about phone breaking if it falls using an Apple case

Yes i agree, Spigen make high quality, well fitting cases in my opinion. My Spigen Liquid Crystal clear case that i got for my 12 Mini, 1 week before the 12 mini was actually released, fitted perfectly and has not suffered from yellowing after a whole year to date. It also has ‘dimples’ on the inside back of the case to stop any water smearing, something that other brands are guilty of.

The offical Apple cases are really good also, very high quality but way over priced. £50 for a case, you got to be kidding me lol. I got a Saddle brown leather case for my 8+, and the leather patina is beautiful, but i got it for £30 discounted.

Totally. I'm not saying the Apple cases aren't quality. Far from it. But they are triple the cost of Spigen cases and nowhere close to being better in quality. I know for a fact that a lot of members here blindly buy Apple products and have no idea what else is out there. There are certainly just as good of cases, maybe even better, for a fraction of the cost of the Apple branded ones. It's just that some around here wouldn't know it.

I've always used Spigen cases only and only been using them. I avoided all other case brands. I do agree that the clear cases do turn yellow, but that's on other cases as well, not just Spigen. Something that can't be avoided. I do prefer their tough armor cases. Good quality.

If you went to their website and opened up their iPhone 12 collection and in the url just swapped out “iPhone-12” to “iphone-13” it would of gave you the webpage with all of their cases. At least on Saturday. They seem to have Taken it down now. A lot of pages have it setup already. They just wait till tomorrow to make the link live or add the “iphone-13” drop down option that will take you to the page that’s already there.

Had many Spigen cases over the years. Never had any issues with them…looking forward to see what they offer for iPhone 13.

I haven't read anyone reporting that Caudabe clear cases yellowing. I may give that a try 🤷‍♂️
