Apple - iPhone XR Clear Case does it's job
I bought the Apple - iPhone XR Clear Case for my 11 year old granddaughter who is prone to dropping, breaking and losing her cell phones. When I ordered this I thought it was like the clamshell with a top and bottom, unfortunately this is just the bottom, but this is better than nothing at all. It's a simple design, fits on the back of the phone and is designed to protect the phone in the even it's dropped. I must admit that so far it has done it's job successfully. My granddaughter has dropped her phone several times since I bought the case and has sustained no injuries. I would buy this case again and also look for a screen protector.... Show more

Apple’s new IPhone XR clear case.
Apple’s latest clear case for the IPhone XR is excellent. It fits like a glove and shows the beauty of the phone through its entirety. I have already dropped the phone twice on the face and there is absolutely NO damage, thanks Apple! This phone case is made of excellent materials and I haven’t had any of the bubble issues that some reviews have suggested. I advise anyone that installs the case, to first Wipe the phone’s back and sides clean with a dust cloth but DO NOT wet it.I highly recommend this case if you want to keep the phone looking pretty with added protection.I gave the case 4 stars because I think that Apple should have added more protection at the bottom of the case where the phones speakers are located. Also, the case is a bit expensive at a $40 ... MoreApple’s latest clear case for the IPhone XR is excellent. It fits like a glove and shows the beauty of the phone through its entirety.

Excellent case for careful iPhone owners
I bought this case for my daughter's new iPhone XR, as the dual slices of glass worried me with an 11 year old. I would rate this case higher if it had better bottom (where the charge port is) coverage, as it's pretty much open there. But, it does protect the rest of the phone well while allowing the coral color of the back to shine through. The case is priced a bit high, but you can tell it's a polished design that fits well, even with a glass screen protector. The Spigen version gives more coverage on the phone, but adds a bit of bulk, which is why I went with the apple clear case. If you're clumsy with your phones, go with the Spigen, if you're careful with your phones, and have a little extra $$, the apple version works and looks great.... Show more

Great case
Finding the right cell phone case can prove to be disheartening. With so many options to choose from, the best iPhone XR case can be elusive. Furthermore, each case brings something unique to the table. Qualities such as durability, style, and utility are all great examples of deal breakers when examining cases. A case that combines several of these qualities is a rare sight. However, this is how one distinguishes the best iPhone XR case. Ultimately you want your case to prove its usefulness by displaying the elite qualities.... Show more

High quality case
I prefer Apple cases. They are priced higher than others, but I trust that Apple has thoughtfully designed and thoroughly tested their products. I’ve used many Apple cases over the years. Despite several drops on hard surfaces, I’ve never had a phone suffer any damage.This case is another example. It protects the phone while showcasing the beautiful build quality and color of the phone. It doesn’t snag in pockets and fits the phone snugly.... Show more

I CAN SEE AND FEEL MY PHONE!
One of the disappointment factors in buying cases for cell phones is that the thickness, color, etc. makes you feel like you're not really holding your phone. It's there but somewhere along the way it doesn't so much feel that way. I was looking for a case that would enable me to insert my Shure MV88 mic into the lightning port and just ran across the XR Clear Case on this Best Buy visit. I mentally debated long and hard over purchasing it because, though I desired the clear case and the availability of my lightning port for my mic, it seemed very thin. I previously used a much thicker Tech 21 case (which was excellent by the way). In the end, my desire to widen the use of my phone, especially with a mic that needed my lightning port won out.

Though I have not had a major drop of the phone since I got this case, I have greatly enjoyed a full visual on my product red XR and having a case that lets me feel like I'm holding the real thing. So far, it has been great for what I need it to do. I get excellent video and photos from my tripods. Also, in loud places, when I video with my MV88, it comes out great! I would not recommend this case for those who have the dropsies with their cell phones. An XR is a terrible thing to waste! But if you like the see and the feel of a cell phone, not many do it better than this, I'm sure.... Show more

LOVELY FEEL
Reading the reviews left for this case which were good I went ahead and ordered it. It was a struggle to fit on my white Apple XR, so much so that I was left wondering whether I had ordered the right case. However I finally managed this and must admit it looks fantastic, almost like there was no cover on it. However after looking at other reviews on various other sites, this cover has come in for a slating. One particular comment was that once on it would be impossible to remove. I think I would go along with that but then why would I want to remove it. It is a solid case with no give in it at all. Other comments were that on fitting there appeared to be bubbles forming on the back of the phone under the cover. This I have not experienced. At the moment I am happy ...

Nearly perfect case
This is a great case and provides more protection that I thought it would. It feels more like hard plastic than rubber and it is extremely clear allowing the color of your iPhone to shine through clearly. I actually give this a 4.5, but that is not a possibility. The downside is that drops leave scuffs and marks that are easily visible. I am actually getting ready to order another one because I want my case and phone to always look new. However, the fact that I am willing to buy another should tell you something. I wouldn’t pay full price for it, though.... Show more

Really shows off the color!
I got this today and am really happy with it. My phone feels so sleek and the color is really pretty showing through.Two things to note: It is VERY hard to get back off, if you are a person that likes to change cases. I wish it had a little more lip, as I am not fully confident it will survive a direct land on the front screen. But there is a little lip, hopefully it is enough.The dreaded air bubble: Put this on my phone and a few minutes later, the air bubble appeared. Worked hard to get a corner of the case off, let the air bubble out and replaced the case. Within 30 minutes, the air bubble was back. Googled it to see if there was a solution and YES! There is!I truly struggled to get my case completely off the phone to give it a try. BEFORE putting case on ... MoreI got this today and am really happy with it.

I also used a soft towel to push from the inside of the phone and gave a little more twist. IT WORKED! My case is now bubble free - so give that a try the first time, you will be happy you did....

XR vs. Pixel 3 side-by-side
I purchased an iPhone XR and a Pixel 3 at the same time. My wife got the XR and I got the Pixel because I was a die-hard Android fan. After a week and a half my Pixel failed and I exchanged it for a second iPhone XR.User Interface: I was immediately impressed with the user interface on the iPhone and by the fact that all screens were well laid out and easy to read. Much of the user interface is the same (XR vs. Pixel), but everything seems to work faster and smoother with the XR. More importantly, each feature on the iPhone seemed to have an unexpected wow factor. These Apple features are encountered when sending text messages, sharing photos, or sharing location with other iPhone users. Air drop is very cool.

More importantly, each feature on the iPhone seemed to have an unexpected wow factor. These Apple features are encountered when sending text messages, sharing photos, or sharing location with other iPhone users. Air drop is very cool. The built-in face-time video chat is another one of these Apple-only features.Camera: Both cameras seem to be very comparable. The two phones have slightly different feature sets when it comes to the cameras, but the bottom line is that both phones have very good cellphone cameras.Battery: No comparison here! The XR is amazing. I often finish the day with 80% of the battery remaining. I was usually down to 30% on the Pixel 3 and sometimes I couldn't make it through the day. This was especially true when using GPS functions. The GPS in the Pixel 3 kills the battery very fast and heats up the phone. I had the same problem with a Samsung S7 and and older S5. In contrast, I can run the GPS all day on the XR and it seems to have minimal impact on the battery. I use the GPS in the car and I use it when I am skiing. I could only run the Ski Tracks app for two hours on the Pixel 3, but I can run it all day on the XR.Screen Unlock: I love the face recognition feature. This is fast and automatic when you pick up the iPhone XR. Pick it up and the screen turns on and unlocks automatically. No buttons and no fingerprint scanners.Siri: I am discovering that Siri is much more useful than the Google assistant. The reason for this is that Siri is able to control virtually any phone function whereas the Google assistant has very little ability to control phone functions.Android vs. iOS: I was a long-time Android user and I thought I would never like using an Apple phone. Now, I am so impressed with the iPhone that I will never go back to an Android phone!... Show more
