iPhone 13 Full-Body Clear Bumper Case

Why the iPhone 13 Full-Body Clear Bumper Case Is Essential for Design-Lovers and Everyday Droppers

You paid for that gorgeous iPhone 13 finish — why bury it under an opaque slab? Picture your phone fully armored, front and back, while the aluminum and glass Apple designed still shines through a crystal-clear panel framed by a bumper in your favorite color. This full-body case wraps your iPhone 13 (2021, 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display) in 360-degree two-piece protection with a built-in 9H tempered glass screen protector on the front and a transparent back panel behind a colored bumper. Built for design-lovers, students, commuters, serial phone-droppers, and anyone who wants set-and-forget protection, this is the best iPhone 13 clear bumper case with a built-in screen protector. Welcome to the Gorilla Family.

Key Features

• 16 color choices: Clear, Black, Matte Black, Grey, Rice White, Choco, Dark Blue, Capri Blu, Acacia Green, Coppergreen, Crystal Pink, Purple, Red, Wine Red, Orange, and Yellow bumpers — all with the transparent back.
• Built-in 9H tempered glass: a hardness-rated glass screen protector is integrated into the front cover — no separate purchase, no alignment anxiety.
• Premium materials: rigid transparent polycarbonate back panel with a flexible shock-absorbing TPU bumper frame.
• Case type: two-piece, front-and-back 360-degree full-body case that snaps together around the phone.
• Show-your-phone design: the crystal back panel displays your iPhone's true color instead of hiding it.
• Screen protection: the 9H glass front shrugs off keys, sand, and face-down drops while feeling like the bare screen.
• Camera protection: a raised bezel rings the dual lenses, with full-body drop protection rated to 6.6 ft / 2 m.
• Charging compatibility: Qi wireless charging works straight through the slim back panel — though this is not a MagSafe case — and Lightning charges through the open port.
• Corner-start assembly: installs and removes from the lower right corner — a 30-second job once you know the trick.
• Compatibility: fits the Apple iPhone 13 (2021, 6.1-inch) ONLY. It does NOT fit the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12, or iPhone 14.

Materials Explained — What 9H Tempered Glass and TPU Actually Feel Like

The front panel carries 9H tempered glass — the same hardness class as sapphire-adjacent watch crystals, and it feels exactly like your phone's own screen: smooth, fast, and fingerprint-resistant. The 9H rating means a steel key dragged across it leaves nothing behind.

The back is clear polycarbonate — the optically pure, rigid plastic used in aircraft cockpit windows — so your phone's color reads true with no fogging or distortion.

Holding it all together is a TPU bumper — the flexible impact material of running shoe soles and hockey puck rims — which takes corner hits and spreads the energy around the frame instead of into the chassis.

Altogether the case weighs about 2.3 oz (65 g) and adds roughly 3 mm of thickness — full 360-degree coverage at a weight most half-cases cannot beat.

Feature-to-Benefit Mapping

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Clean your iPhone 13 with a microfiber cloth — especially the screen, since the glass front sits directly on it.
2. Starting at the lower right corner, press your phone into the front cover until the glass sits flush.
3. Align the back case over the camera cutout and press it on, again starting from the lower right corner.
4. Work around all four edges until the front and back halves click together evenly.
5. Test the touchscreen, Face ID, buttons, and Lightning port — and remember: disassembly starts from the lower right corner too.

Troubleshooting and Tips

• Case will not snap shut? Start over from the lower right corner — the halves are keyed to assemble in that order, and forcing other corners first causes the gap.
• Rainbow marks under the glass? Clean the screen again and reinstall; trapped dust causes the shimmer, not the glass itself.
• Touch feels different on day one? The oleophobic coating on the 9H glass settles within a day of normal use.
• Wireless charging slow? Center the phone on the pad — the case is Qi-friendly, but off-center placement slows any charger.
• Cleaning the clear back? A barely damp microfiber cloth keeps it crystal — avoid alcohol wipes, which can haze clear polycarbonate over time.

FAQs

Which phones does this case fit?
It fits the Apple iPhone 13 (2021, 6.1-inch display) only. It does NOT fit the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12, or iPhone 14 — the sealed two-piece design depends on exact dimensions.

What comes in the box?
The two-piece case: a front cover with the 9H tempered glass already built in, and the colored bumper back with its transparent panel. If your glass arrives cracked, contact us with your order number for a replacement.

Do I need a separate screen protector?
No — the 9H tempered glass protector is built into the front cover and replaces any stick-on protector. Remove existing protectors before installing so the glass sits flush.

Does it work with MagSafe or wireless charging?
Qi wireless charging works through the slim clear back on standard pads. It is not a MagSafe case — there are no magnets — so MagSafe accessories will not snap on.

What is the drop protection rating?
The 360-degree shell and TPU bumper are rated for drops of 6.6 ft / 2 m, and because both faces are covered there is no “lucky side” to land on.

Does Face ID still work?
Yes — the glass front has a precise notch cutout, so Face ID, the front camera, and the earpiece work normally.

Does the touchscreen work through the glass?
Yes — the 9H panel sits flush against the display and responds like the bare screen, including swipes from the edges.

Are the buttons and ports accessible?
Yes — the bumper has tactile button covers and open cutouts for the Lightning port, speakers, and mute switch.

Will the clear back yellow over time?
The polycarbonate back resists yellowing far better than soft clear TPU cases; keep it away from alcohol wipes and prolonged direct sun and it stays glassy.

Is it sweat- and sand-proof for the beach or gym?
The closed design blocks sand and lint well, but it is not waterproof — splashes are fine, submersion is not.

Is there a lanyard hole?
No — the sealed 360 perimeter is the priority in this design.

Is it professional enough for work?
Yes — Matte Black, Grey, and Clear look refined in any meeting, while Orange, Yellow, and Crystal Pink bring personality.

Is it a good gift?
Excellent — it is a complete protection kit in one box, sixteen colors deep, and free 30-day returns cover any color regrets.

Is it hard to take on and off?
Not once you know the rule: everything starts from the lower right corner, on and off. Most owners manage it in under a minute.

What is the return policy?
Yes — Gorilla Cases offers free 30-day returns on all iPhone 13 cases. If the case doesn't fit your iPhone 13 or you're not satisfied, contact our team within 30 days for a fast replacement or full refund. No restocking fees.

What Gorilla Family Customers Are Saying

★★★★★
Finally a case that shows off the blue
My Sierra Blue-envy ended when I got the actual blue iPhone 13, and the Capri Blu bumper with the clear back is the perfect frame for it. Dropped it getting out of an Uber — glass front, back, phone: all flawless.
— Derek S., Atlanta, GA

★★★★★
Built-in screen protector is genius
I have ruined three stick-on protectors with bubbles. This one is already aligned inside the front cover — install the case, done. Touch sensitivity is identical to bare glass and Face ID works every time.
— Imogen W., London, UK

★★★★★
Survived my teenager for a full school year
Bought the Acacia Green for my daughter. It has been dropped in hallways, stuffed in gym bags, and once launched off a moving school bus seat. The 9H glass has two tiny scuffs; the screen underneath has zero.
— Monica R., San Antonio, TX

★★★★★
Wireless charging straight through — no fuss
I was braced for the usual full-body-case charging drama, but it sits on my Qi stand every night and just works. The Matte Black bumper looks sharp and the clear back still has not yellowed after four months.
— Patrick H., Vancouver, BC, Canada

★★★★½
Great protection — respect the corner rule
Excellent case once installed, and the glass feels premium. My only stumble: I tried to pry it off from the top edge the first time and thought it was stuck. Start at the lower right corner like the instructions say and it pops right open. Lesson learned, case kept.
— Felicity B., Sydney, NSW, Australia
