Does Friday’s Clear Cases Turn Yellow?
An Honest Review from Team Friday
At Friday, we believe in transparency and honesty with our customers. So here’s the truth: we do not make fake promises that our clear cases won’t turn yellow over time. Let’s explain why this happens and why we’ve made the choices we have for our cases.
Why Do Clear Cases Turn Yellow?
Many clear cases eventually turn yellow due to natural exposure to UV light, oils from our hands, and environmental factors. However, there are cases in the market made with PC (Polycarbonate) material, which is known for its anti-yellowing properties. Brands that claim their cases don’t yellow are likely using PC materials, which are strong and resistant to discoloration.
But there’s a catch.
In our internal tests with multiple PC materials, we found a significant flaw: PC’s rigid structure transfers impact tension directly to the phone during drops. This means that while the case may remain clear, your phone’s safety could be compromised, as the material doesn’t absorb shock effectively.
Our Design Philosophy: Prioritizing Your Phone’s Safety
At Friday, we focus on what truly matters: protecting your valuable phone. That’s why we decided to take a different approach. Here’s how we ensure both durability and protection:
-
Premium PC Material for the Back
We use high-quality PC material for the back of our cases to maintain clarity and strength. This ensures that the back of your phone remains clear and stylish. -
Shock-Absorbing TPU Sides
To address the impact issue, we use TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) for the sides of the case. TPU is soft, flexible, and excellent at absorbing shocks. When your phone falls from up to 9 feet, the TPU sides work to dissipate the impact energy, significantly reducing the chances of damage to your phone. -
Air Bubble Cushioning
We’ve embedded air bubble cushioning in the design of our cases. This added layer of protection enhances the shock absorption, providing even more safety for your iPhone during accidental drops.
Why We Made This Choice
We understand that a perfectly clear case might be desirable for many users. However, we believe that your phone’s safety is far more important than prolonged clarity. While our cases may eventually develop a slight yellow tint due to TPU’s nature, they’re designed to keep your phone safe and sound during everyday use.
