6 Protection Tips for Clear Case Users
Anti-yellowing formulations resist UV degradation significantly better than standard polycarbonate — keep the clear case out of prolonged direct sunlight storage (like a car dashboard in summer) to maximize clarity lifespan. Clean the inside of the clear case monthly — oil and debris between the case and phone can scratch the phone's finish over time. A tempered glass screen protector pairs well with any clear case to protect the display edge while keeping the back color visible. Clear cases show scratches more visibly than matte cases — inspect the case quarterly and replace if significant scratching is present. Do not use screen-printed or dyed transfer stickers between a clear case and the phone — they can stain the phone's anodized aluminum.
