Clear Phone Case for iPhone and Samsung Galaxy
A clear phone case is for people who like their phone’s color and don’t want to hide it. This collection includes clear iPhone case and clear Samsung case options, plus transparent phone case styles for other models. Honestly, the one complaint we hear most is yellowing, so below you’ll find which materials hold up better and how to clean one. Based in Stockton, CA?

What to Look for in a Clear Phone Case
Material first. Soft TPU cases flex easily and cost less, but they tend to yellow faster in sunlight. Hard polycarbonate backs usually stay clear longer, and a lot of them add a flexible TPU bumper around the edge. Some brands advertise anti-yellowing coatings. They help, though I wouldn’t expect any clear case to look brand new after two years on a dashboard.
Edges matter. A small raised lip around the screen and the camera keeps glass off the table when you set the phone down. That alone prevents a lot of scratches.
Clear iPhone Case
Fit comes down to your exact model, as the cutouts and camera bump change every generation. Browse by model in our iPhone cases section.
Clear Samsung Case
For Galaxy phones, Ultra models need the S Pen cutout in the right spot. See all Samsung Galaxy cases for model-by-model fit.
Clear Case With MagSafe
Magnets sit in a ring inside the case, so MagSafe chargers and mounts snap on. Thinner cases usually give a stronger hold. You’ll sometimes see the magnet ring through the clear material, which is fine unless it bothers you. Chargers are in our phone accessories.
How Much Protection to Expect
Clear cases are slimmer, so they handle everyday bumps and scratches rather than hard drops. For construction sites or kids, look at our rugged phone cases instead.
Add a Screen Protector to Your Clear Phone Case
Since the case is thin, the screen is still your weak point. A tempered glass screen protector fills that gap, and case-friendly versions leave room so your case lip doesn’t lift the edges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do clear cases turn yellow?
Eventually, most do, mainly from sun and body oils. TPU yellows fastest, and polycarbonate usually lasts longer. Keeping the phone out of hot cars helps.
How to get rid of yellowed clearcase?
Try mild soap and warm water first. Sometimes it’s just body oil and grime, not real yellowing. For stubborn staining, rub on a paste of baking soda and water, or wipe with isopropyl alcohol. Rinse, dry fully, and don’t use bleach, since it can make things worse.
Do clear cases protect my phone?
Yes, against scratches, scuffs and everyday knocks. They aren’t made for big drops, so they sit below rugged cases for impact protection.
Do clear cases work with MagSafe?
Only if they have magnets built in. A clear case with MagSafe is labeled as such, and a regular clear case without magnets won’t hold a MagSafe charger well.
Will a clear case show my phone’s color?
Yes, that’s the whole point. Some have a slight tint, so the color can look a bit warmer or cooler than it really is.
