Why Friday Doesn't Sell All-PC Clear Cases for iPhones

When it comes to choosing the right protection for your iPhone, the material of your case plays a crucial role in determining both durability and impact resistance. One of the most common case materials available in the market is Polycarbonate (PC), often used in all-PC clear cases. While these cases may look aesthetically pleasing, they come with certain limitations that don’t align with Friday's commitment to quality and protection. This is precisely why we choose not to sell all-PC cases. Let’s dive deeper into why.

1. The Downsides of All-PC Clear Cases

Lack of Shock Absorption

Polycarbonate is a hard plastic material known for its rigidity. However, this very characteristic makes it less effective in absorbing shocks. When your phone falls, the PC case may remain intact, but the impact is directly transferred to your device, increasing the risk of cracks and internal damage. A protective case should safeguard your phone, not just itself.

Easily Prone to Scratches

Clear PC cases are initially attractive, offering a sleek, minimalist look. But over time, they develop scratches due to their hard surface, making them appear worn out much faster than hybrid materials.

Slippery Grip

Another major drawback of an all-PC clear case is its slippery surface. Unlike softer materials like silicone or TPU, PC cases offer little to no grip, making it easier for your phone to slip from your hand or off surfaces. A case should provide a secure grip, not add to the risk of accidental drops.


2. Why Friday Doesn’t Sell All-PC Cases

At Friday, we prioritize practical protection, durability, and long-term aesthetics over just looks. That’s why we have made the conscious decision to not sell all-PC clear cases. Instead, we offer:

Hybrid Clear Cases with TPU Edges

  • Shock Absorption: Unlike PC, TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) provides a cushion-like effect, absorbing impact and reducing the risk of damage.

  • Better Grip: TPU edges offer enhanced grip, minimizing accidental slips.

  • Long-Lasting Transparency: Our hybrid cases resist yellowing much better than all-PC cases.

MagSafe-Compatible Cases

For those who want the best of both worlds, our MagSafe-compatible clear cases provide the perfect balance between aesthetics and durability. These cases come with reinforced edges for drop protection while maintaining a sleek, premium look.

Conclusion

While all-PC clear cases may seem appealing due to their minimalistic design, their lack of shock absorption, susceptibility to scratches, and slippery nature make them a compromised choice for iPhone users. At Friday, we believe in providing only the best quality accessories, which is why we opt for hybrid designs that combine aesthetics with superior protection.
