Apple Clear vs Leather vs Silicone - Which iPhone Case is the Best?

[@enos128]

I appreciate how detailed you were with reviewing these cases! I have the silicone case and after 8 months all 4 corners had chunks falling off. It was hell to get it replaced under warranty but they finally did it.

[@joshpaulmart]

Thank you for checking out the channel! I had issues like that with the silicone cases on the previous models and was expecting that with this silicone case but was pleasantly surprised!

[@addisonw9017]

I thought i was the only one with this issue because I have an apple silicone case and the silicone is peeling off and the corners are breaking and the apple logo wore off, its not very good quality

[@timepiece_enthusiast]

Now that’s the amount of details every tech review should contain! Keep up the great work and have my sub!

[@joshpaulmart]

Thank you so very much! I try to be as thorough as possible but sometimes I feel it’s too much. Your kind words eased my mind!

[@tuk955]

Great video! I think you are the only one who comparing the weight and dimension of cases. Thank you!

[@joshpaulmart]

I noticed there weren’t a lot of reviews for cases that included specs, I wanted to change that. Plus, I’m a nerd for specs haha. Thank you for the support!

[@BC08]

The silicone case surprisingly survived EverythingApplePro’s iPhone 13 50 foot drop test

[@clementte6948]

i love the leather case I used for an older iPhone before. you just need to use a leather cleaner and conditioner from time to time to keep it moisturized and remove all those sweat from your hand i used the one for car leather seats :)

[@Nico-os9sr]

why would you kill an animal just for a case. ew

[@heIenxo]

To be honest, for me the clear case is the most durable over time, my leather case started peeling after a few months, and my silicone case had deep cuts/scratches in it, there was shine around the corners, and the plastic skeleton was exposed from peeling on the screen side. Whereas the clear case had no significant damage

[@Vlaid65]

Spot on about the clear case. Was thinking of trying the silicone case, and am now sure that’s the way to go. Thanks.

[@james11h]

My silicone case got torn up in a matter of months and looked awful after a year. Leather is worth the extra $10 for sure. Way more durable!

[@jagged6373]

I bought all 3 originally. Returned the clear case because of fingerprints. Silicone id use sparingly because dust sticks to it and it’s hard to get in and out of pockets. Leather is the best imo Edit: if it’s peeling I bet you can return it to the apple store for a new one. Patina is one thing, color peeling is another.

[@joshpaulmart]

Those are all valid concerns, can’t blame you for returning the clear one. I’ve tried the warranty route for a previous silicone case on my XS Max and that was a nightmare. I took several phone calls and I kept getting told they were shipping a new one but they never ended up doing so. After that, I’ve given up on their warranty process for a while. Thank you for checking out the channel!

only thing about the silicone is the matte finish of what ever color you get will turn shiny with wear even the new 12 silicone cases

[@Angry_Poptarts9]

Getting my first iPhone soon and I've been struggling with what case I should get and this video was really good and informative. I'm liking the silicone ones

Hey bro what case you got now ??

You are really good at reviewing stuff! Excellent video.

[@michaeljohnlozano8618]

So that's how you properly remove the clear case off the phone without cracking the case. Very informative video.

[@KiLLJOY1056]

Only reason I get leather is for the metal buttons, they shouldve done that for the silicone cases too.

[@Flakitonica]

The leather case after you use it for a while starts to get some crazy comfy grip that I can’t explain even in my opinion better than the silicone case that feels sticky hard to pull out of the pockets even to put it in your pocket

[@spencerscott6530]

Great video. One of the best comparisons that I have seen.

[@joshpaulmart]

Wow, thank you for the kind words! I appreciate the support!

[@kevinpantoja213]

Honest opinion the clear case do the best job, if hard buttons aren’t a problem go for that one 👍

[@bar10ml44]

I have just swapped my clear case for a cheap synthetic one. Best thing I did. Picking up the phone was uncomfortable, hard to grip. The synthetic case has grip and without MagSafe seems to lighten the phone.

[@joey7710]

Underrated channel

[@joshpaulmart]

Thank you! I'll be posting more videos in the next couple of weeks. I appreciate the support!

[@BahamianLily]

I'm a bit timid on the clear as those types of cases tend to discolor/age with yellowing.

[@fijiwill2237]

The apple one doesn’t yellow for atleast 6-10 months because the materials are harder than the usual soft tpu material, but the bottom of the case starts to split after removing it so many times.

[@romansingla]

Best explanation I got for the cases.. thanks a lot dude.... really thank uou

[@torqueofthedevil8145]

Leather is the only case I like the feel of in my hand.

[@DiegoDeschain]

Very good video. Bit sad about the drop in quality for the leather cases, I've had one for over 2 years on my iphone 7 and it is absolutely great, it looks just as it did brand new, while I always heard bad things about the silicon cases. The 13 cycle seems to be the same as the 12 one, at least in appearance looking at them online, I wonder if they fixed the problems with the leather one and/or if the silicon is still just as good as the 12 cycle.

[@illpetillxthryve]

Dude i was furious one day and launched my 12 about 40 ft in the air falling to a concrete road, and the silicone case prevented it from a single crack.

[@demisgeorgiadis8752]

Leather is better!The colours are prettier than silicone ,the grip and the sense is wonderful and premium.Silicone collects dust

[@joshpaulmart]

Can’t go wrong with leather, they look and feel great! I think the cracking/peeling around the trim of the leather case, along with the silicone having fixed the issues I had with the previous versions, put the silicone above the leather this year for me. The silicone being a lint magnet is still an issue though, no doubt. Thank you for checking out the channel!

[@edgarkulik8461]

The peeling around the sides is completely normal. It’s patina all leather does it.

[@NewWalls98]

Silicone case! Better grip and more durable

[@Kaloyythegreat]

I personally prefer the silicone case to wherever I go. I barely use my leather case at all, I find it harder to be removed to my iPhone 🥴

[@TheCallyjean]

I have the light pink silicone case on my 13 Pro ... What do you think is the best way to clean it without messing up the product?

[@fabioest]

Great video, great quality! I have a iphoneXS leather case that i bought for $12. In fact i like it but bothers me on the bottom

Immediately returned the clear case; waaay to slippery; went for the Silicone. Whats the point of dropping your phone by having it slip out of your hands with a case that should be grippy?

[@BigBoss9696]

Awesome video 👍 I personally went with the Tech21 clear case and Apple’s Leather Case.

Thank you for the kind words! Great choices with your cases. I love Tech21 but haven't used them in a few years. I'll add them to the list!

[@Ghostzy01]

Does also seem silly to have instructions but if you dont install it buttons first which most people just jam it in there, the buttons do rip into the leather / silicon and on older phones like the 5s the constant applying of the leather case incorrectly lead to a lot of power button faults.

thanks a lot, i found your video a bit late and have already purchased the silicone case, however ,it is going back today because it attracts too much lint and dust. I'm going for leather one in blue instead of clear because i used clear case for the 11 and it was a disaster trying to take them off. I almost broke a fingernail. Still i like the open bottom part but i kinda like the leather case l once used with my 7. Can you please provide your idea which i should go for?

Is it just me or is the 13 clear case alot heavier than the others ? 🤔

[@Haru_no_ki]

Wont ever buy a silicone case again. A fake apple branded silicone case lasted me 1.5 years more than an original one bought from apple itself. The bottom parts chipped away on both, but the fake one lasted longer.(Xs max) On 14 pro I will give it a try to lether or a 3rd party like uag or spigen, maybe pitaka if they will have something nice.

It’s the drawback for the best grip, think about it like, if it grabs the lint it’ll definitely grab your hand ☺️😅

[@DipsyMum29]

I have the clear and leather in cherry on my 13 pro. I prefer the leather in the hand, but like how I can see the phones colour in the clear. The most important thing for me though is the MagSafe. With the soft leather any MagSafe accessory (such as my pop socket) it did create a denting and my MagSafe charger burned a slight ring into it. This obviously doesn’t happen with the clear case. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Is for that reason I do tend to use my clear case more than my leather.

I really like the feel of Apples Silicone Cases but the durability is a big issue for me. My pockets wear away the corners causing the silicone to peel from the inner plastic shell on the bottom side giving the already exposed side less protection. I’ve gone through 2 cases in 6 months. Also the exposed bottom has left me with dents/scratches next to the lightning port
