What is the difference between a silicone and a plastic case?

A silicone case is soft and flexible, and it absorbs impact well. It grips in the hand, but it collects dust and yellows over time. A hard plastic (PC) case is thin and easy to keep clean, but it does not give under impact. For most people a TPU or hybrid case is the better compromise — it combines both.

How do I choose the right case?

Choose for the way you actually use the phone: if you drop it often, take a rugged case; if you want to keep the phone slim, TPU or silicone is enough; if you want to carry cards, pick a wallet case. Above all, check that the case is made for your exact phone model.

Does a case protect against drops?

Yes, though how much depends on the type. A thin silicone case keeps scratches away and helps with low falls. Rugged cases such as UAG or Spigen Tough Armor are drop-tested from 2–3 metres and give the most protection.

Why does a clear silicone case turn yellow?

UV light and the natural oils on your skin cause it. It is normal and cannot be prevented entirely. Tip: a darker colour or a clear TPU case yellows far less visibly.

Speck GemShell Grip MagSafe case for iPhone 15 Plus...

Description

Speck GemShell Grip MagSafe is a clear protective case for iPhone 15 Plus / 14 Plus with chrome-coloured details. The transparent back leaves the phone visible, while the dual-layer frame and tactile side ridges add everyday protection and a more secure grip.

Built-in magnets align compatible MagSafe accessories without removing the case. Wireless charging performance can vary with the phone, power source and accessory being used.
Speck rates the case for drops of up to 8 ft (about 2.4 m) under its test conditions. Raised edges around the screen and camera help reduce direct contact with flat surfaces, but no case can prevent every type of damage.
The clear construction is designed to resist scratches and UV-related yellowing. Speck states that 50% recycled plastic is used in the product.
Microban treatment is applied to the case surface to help limit the growth of odour- and stain-causing microbes. It does not protect the user or the phone from disease-causing organisms.

The package contains one Speck GemShell Grip MagSafe case. The phone and MagSafe accessories are not included.
