I ordered this case the day I pre ordered my phone. I’m still waiting for it to be shipped out but I think it will look great on my gold phone. I’m currently using apples silicone case.
Daniel Mendez Ik this is late but I have the case on my XS and I’ve dropped it by accident on concrete once and it had no damage. I have yet to experience any yellowing as well.
@@Daniel.rmendez The TPU part will get yellowing after approximately 1 year (depends on the exposure to the sun, but the yellowing is much slower than low quality case). Counting from your height or pocket height (1m to 1m5), dropping literally does no damage to the phone. This actually an excellent light-weight case.
reginaalear for me having this case for 2 months it might in some lighting will show some little color wear change but this will last longer than low quality case. Probably as long as there isn’t a great exposure to sunlight.
I’m an advocate for these simple tech21 cases. I had an iPhone 5 from 2012 for SIX years up until last week when I FINALLY upgraded to shiny new iPhone XS max. Will buy Myself tech21 case as soon as it’s available. I can attest that this case will last you years. Mine lasted about 5 years on iPhone 5 but unfortunately it went from clear to ugly orange/brown over the years, and then it fell apart. For this reason I recommend a non clear tech21 case.
Hi Luis! Thanks for sharing! Wow--you must be so blown away by the Xs Max, coming from the iPhone 5!! Hope you are loving it! My guess, given the age of your iPhone, is that you were using one of their old TPU cases with D30. Those were awesome cases, but being TPU, they had a serious yellowing problem. This should yellow less, as it is some material other than TPU, or maybe mixed with TPU--hard to tell--plus also, Tech21 has put some anti yellowing compounds in it. However, it doesn't feel the same as your old Tech21 TPU case. Not nearly as much grip. To get a similar feel, you should look at their Evo Check line. Those are TPU and should be very nice cases as well, although I haven't personally tested this year's models yet...Thanks for watching, and enjoy that new iPhone!!
Every time I get a clear case I’ve notice it’s ruins the back and aids of my phone. It lets in a bunch of dust and dirt and when I had my 5s completely it completely ruined the aluminum. When I upgraded to my 8 it ruined the sides of the aluminum and scratched the glass. It would take out chips if both phone and I was just overall disappointed. I was thinking about getting this case for when I upgrade to the Xs but I’m still concerned about this problem.
Hi Coco. So sorry for your difficulties. That is a first for me. I doubt it has anything to do with clear cases--my guess is that you are having an issue with cases that are loose enough to allow dust or dirt to get into the case, and you use your phone in a dusty or otherwise challenging environment. Perhaps you should consider a case with port protection at a minimum, or perhaps a waterproof case?
@@TheTechReviewer Yes It was not designed with a skin underneath, but it scratched the side steel since the day one when I didn't have the skin underneath, and the phone was brand new. It is very protective I would say, but putting a case by hurting the phone is just not a good design.
Do you notice any rainbowing with this case with gold phone?? I have the gold iPhone X’s and love the pure clear! I’d like your opinion before buying. Please. :)
I notice a little bit, but honestly, you will see that with any clear backed case. And it is a small amount. With the glass back of the phone, I think it is unavoidable...
Hi! Love the review! I was wondering what the back material is made of, TPU or polycarbonate? I am a believer of the Tech21 EVO line because of the flexibility and gripiness of the TPU. Thanks for your help!
Hi Bob! Tech21 has two main lines of cases--the ones made with their clear BulletShield material--those are the ones that typically have the word 'Pure' in the title, such as the Pure Clear shown here. The other is their Evo line, which as you say, is characterized by the flexible TPU feel. The two case types feel totally different--the clear BulletShield cases like this Pure Clear have a hard, smooth, rather slippery feel in the hand. The Evo cases that you like have much more grip. The Pure Clear cases win in the size department--they are super thin and give you a great view of your iPhone--but I personally prefer the Evo cases due to their secure grip and pleasant hand feel. So, to answer your question more concisely, the back of the Pure Clear case is made of a material that feels a lot like polycarbonate (although they don't say in the product description exactly what the material is) and it does not have that lovely TPU feel and flex that you like so much in their Evo cases :)
@@TheTechReviewer Thanks for the quick response! That's too bad. I had a clear EVO case for my iPhone 8 plus which I liked a lot (except for the black wrap-around edge). I hope that that Tech21 eventually makes a version for the XR so that I can show off my awesome PRODUCT(RED) color!
That is a good question. I don't have the Xs (decided to go with the Xs Max this year) so I can't help you. However, I notice that on Tech21's website, they list their iPhone X cases separately from their Xs cases, so they may not fit...You might want to contact Tech21 and ask...
Hi Kristin! Happy Thanksgiving! I wanted to ask, are the sides of this version the same as the prior versions of this case - that is to ask - are the sides the same material as the back, or are they flexible like clear TPU or something? I'm wondering because in your video they look hard, similar to prior versions of the case - which were not terribly grippy on the sides; but in a different video of the tinted version the reviewer mentioned the sides being "soft" and "flexible"...not sure if that reviewer was mistaken...?
Hi Christopher! Happy (somewhat belated ) Thanksgiving to you as well! It could be that the tinted version is made slightly differently, but my Tech21 Pure Clear sample was made of the same material all over--a hard, smooth, thin, lightweight plastic. Not much give, not much grip...Nice case, but too slippery for me personally...
40.00 for that case I got a case from encased for $11.00 that looks like that one it even has a kick stand and a tpu bumper I got an OtterBox defender for $50.00 coming of course I’ll have to check if it is authentic lol If not I can always return
Hi guys. As a follow up, I can say that this case does yellowish-brown over some time especially in the sun, where I would have it at times in my car during navigation instances. The edges are discoloring, but it does take a while for it to happen. I would not get any pure clear case again, because although it does look attractive in its beginnings, it does not age well, plus scratches/blemishes are easily seen compared to darker versions of this case. I switched to the tint-carbon version. However, the protection of this case is amazing. I dropped it during a bike ride, tumbling across the concrete sidewalk. Neither the phone or its screen was damaged, luckily. So I am confident in Tech21's drop protection and still recommend the brand.
Ordered a Tech 21 case for my 8 plus last year; when it arrived, I knew, I would never use it due to the large port openings and weak support on the bottom. Ordered 2 more cases by OtterBox and Griffin, then ordered a UAG. Didn't need to look any further as the UAG was much superior to anything else. Get a UAG and be done with it, people !
Sagittariustoo order the (mvmt) case it’s like the tech 21 case but much better and the bottom is well protected I had the same issue with the bottom of mine looked the same I didn’t trust that case
Sagittariustoo same here I hate the versions of the tech 21 cases the d30 versions was much better the bottom wasn’t loose and they were so much more durable tech 21 fell off these cases are trash an accident waiting to happen if you’re a clumsy person this case isn’t meant for you just go get an otterbox great review as always one of my best 👍🏽
Your Tech21 Pure Clear turned yellow? Over how long a time period, if I might ask? The Pure Clear has an anti-yellowing agent, but yellowing over time will eventually occur...
He'll no I got a clear and a white case they tols ne I had a lifetime warranty then not even 2 weeks it started turning yellow it works great but looks gross be careful because once I got mine it was discontinued because new phone came out which wasmt told to me they wouldnt red Fund my money only reimburse with another product only one problem I have android and they didn't have any more cauae it was discontinued told me i could get I phone case which I so t have to upset
@@TheTechReviewer yes and they still haven't replied its horrible probably waiting till my warranty expired They said I have to go where I bought it but then I go to t mobile and they say I have to go through tech 21.plus why would u allow ur retailers to sell something that is expiring that same week or allow them to sell them at all as if we asked for them to make a new phone
I ordered this case the day I pre ordered my phone. I’m still waiting for it to be shipped out but I think it will look great on my gold phone. I’m currently using apples silicone case.
I think you will like it. It's a very nice case and offers a very impressive degree of protection. I wish it had more grip, but it is still a very good case choice if you are looking for a clear case to show of your new phone :)

Hey! how has it held up? any yellowing? have you dropped your phone and was it protected? sorry haha i'm just curious if this case is any good.

What did u do? I dont know which to get for my Iphone XS
This case scratches the steel sides. And I have a DBrand underneath it. It was extremely hard to put the case back on.
So sorry to hear it! But I'm not sure it is designed to work with a skin in place...

Same with the Speck and OtterBox Symmetry clear cases. They do scratch the stainless band.
Very detailed review! Great job, thanks! I bought mine for my iPhone XS MAX, very slim case and nice feel when pressing buttons.
Hi John! Thanks so much for your kind comments, and thanks for sharing your experience with the case!
I have this case for my phone but i’m wondering if it will work with a edge to edge screen protector
Hi Sandrine. Sorry, no idea. Edge to edge screen protectors vary a lot, so it is impossible to say...
Do you notice any rainbowing with this case with gold phone?? I have the gold iPhone X’s and love the pure clear! I’d like your opinion before buying. Please. :)

Yeah that’s true! Could you do a review of the orchid pure soda case from tech 21! Pleassse. I’d love to see that on the gold iPhone.
Kristin you have to review the Tech21 evo luxe active addition - by far my favorite case for my iPhone XS Max 😊
Thanks so much for the suggestion! And so glad to hear you are happy with your case. I love Tech21 cases...
I have this case for my ten and it works so well
So happy to hear it!!
Did it turn yellow?
CAN YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON THE THANOTECH E2E GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR FOR THE IPHONE XS MAX?

Fingers crossed! Glad to hear you are enjoying your PRODUCT(RED) XR! That's the color I would have gone with if I hadn't decided to go Coral...
Please help me on the best clear case in your opinion
Ive had a lot of clear cases and the otter box clear case is the best in my opinion!
I would have been sold, if it wasn’t for the “frosted” sides! I cannot stand that. Checking out the “tinted” one now!
Hope you find one you like!
The Tech Reviewer I did! I have the tinted one on my phone as I type this! Looks wonderful! Thanks.😊
Awesome! So happy to hear it!
Can someone tell me if this does yellow? Or like how long does it take usually beforebit start yellowing?
Got mine almost 2 years still no yellow...
Can you review the tech 21 pure clear case for the iPhone 11 pro max? I just got it thanks!
I will be reviewing it for the iPhone 11 Pro coming up soon. I'm not doing 11 Pro Max reviews this year, though...
I have this case... only bad thing is that it scratches easily and I’ve had it over 2 days
Sorry...scratching is the dark side of the clear case :(
I got that case but for the iPhone XR but I feel like the back get dirty easily like you can feel it but not see it can someone help me
Hi Anthony. I'm not quite clear as to your meaning--you can feel the dirt, but not see it?
The Tech Reviewer like if my fingers are dirty I wipe the case with a towel but I can still feel bumps or little pieces of dirt
That's odd--I wonder if you are feeling scratches of some sort? I never noticed that with my case...
I ordered the evo rox case for the iPhone XR in red. It only cost $9.99 plus $4.95 shopping too great of a deal to pass up lol 😂
That is an awesome deal! Hope you love your new case!
@@TheTechReviewer thank you. It’s arriving on Saturday
😀
Hi good video by the way can you please make a video about the Otterbox Symmetry for the iPhone Xs Max? Cheers
I have a request in to OtterBox and hope to get a chance to review the Symmetry soon...
I found a good deal for the tech21 evo check iphone x case it’s for my iphone xs. Will it fit ? Or is the camera bumb to big

xToxicXSkorpion i have xs and using iphone x case and its perfectly fit to my iphone xs
Is anti fingerprint? Thanks
It still shows fingerprints, but it isn't one of the super shiny glossy polycarbonate cases, so it shows them a bit less, I think.

Has anybody experienced any yellowing after years of use?
Hi Gustin TV! I can't help you out, as I don't have any long term use data. Anyone else have any input?
