Oh I didn't buy those. I bought the silicone cases from ebay.
Has it arrived?
Mine did it’s not very good quality I’m kinda disappointed. I think generics are better

My knockoff silicone case came today and not really happy with it. Seams around the whole case aren't flush and the entire case has a chemical smell. Similar to wet paint.
Well the search continues. The clear case I got has discoloured already. I know they do but it’s been on the phone less than two weeks and it’s already a horrible brown colour.
I think I’ll just get a coloured case and accept that there’s no clear case that actually offers protection and doesn’t discolour after a few days.

the apple clear case will crack after taking it off and putting it back on several times, but it doesnt yellow
Thanks but it’s open at the bottom. I prefer cases with all around protection.
I went on a clear case hunt a few months ago...Never found any that were TPU and didn’t eventually yellow...Plus, I didn’t like the plastic feel. The only ones that won’t are polycarbonate like the apple clear case...or something like the caudabe lucid clear.
A friend tried the apple clear case and didn’t like it because it had that rainbow effect on the back from trapped air. I tried the caudabe and it’s great. Avoids the rainbow effect because it has the micro dots on the back which aren’t noticeable unless you look at it really close. The problem for me is, being polycarbonate, the apple and caudabe cases are slippery, at least to me...In the end, I gave my lucid clear to my friend and his apple clear case went back to apple...I went back to my Sheath and haven’t looked back..

Thanks, will take a look, I have a sheath and I like it but want a case that either matches the blue of the XR or is clear to show it off.
I’ve heard the corners of the colored sheaths turns black from juggling in one’s pocket
Glad I went with plain black. When I want color I put the clear case on
If I could find a clear case that didn’t yellow after five minutes I’d be happy.
I’ve got 27 cases sat collecting dust. Half of them are clear and all of them despite claiming to be anti yellow etc, have yellowed after a short time. Some as little as days. The TPU ones that haven’t yellowed feel like bars of wet soap.
I found a case on amazon that matches the blue exactly but it picked up every single speck of dust.
Looking for a new case for my XR. Has to be a flip case (so that the screen is protected), and store a single credit card (travel pass). As thin as possible but at reasonable expense - £$20 or so.
Most ones out there are book form flip, but I'm quite partial to vertical flip cases as they make me feel I'm on Star Trek ...
Any suggestions for thin flip cases? Every 'slim' flip case Amazon shows me seems horrendously thick with lashings of leather (fake or otherwise) - a flip / folio case can't be both leather and 'slim'.
