ROCKCSE R13-CL106 Anti-Scratch TPU Case for iPhone 13 Mini Review
Table of Contents
For weeks, I’ve been testing the ROCKCSE R13-CL106 clear TPU case for the iPhone 13 Mini (5.4 inch). This case promises a slim, protective fit with anti-scratch capabilities. But does it deliver? Let’s dive in.
The R13-CL106 boasts a two-part design: a hard PC back for rigidity and a shock-absorbing TPU bumper for drop protection. The clear back allows the iPhone’s sleek design to shine through. The cutouts are precisely engineered, providing easy access to all ports and buttons. The raised bezels around the screen and camera lens offer added protection against scratches when the phone is placed face down. The advertised “anti-yellow” upgrade is a key selling point, and I’ll be sure to monitor this over time.

In terms of protection, the case has performed admirably. I’ve subjected it to several accidental drops (nothing too extreme, of course!), and the phone remained unscathed. The TPU bumper absorbed the impact effectively. The scratch resistance of the back is also impressive. After weeks of use, there are no noticeable scratches or scuffs. The slim profile doesn’t add significant bulk to the phone, maintaining its pocketability. The buttons are responsive, and the cutouts are perfectly aligned.
However, there’s a minor trade-off. While the case is slim, it might not offer the same level of protection as a more rugged case. For users who frequently drop their phones or are involved in activities with a high risk of damage, a more robust option might be preferred. The clarity of the case is good, but there is a very slight yellowing after extended use, although it’s not noticeable unless directly compared to a brand new case. This is probably not something to worry about, but worth noting.
Pros:
- Slim and lightweight design
- Effective drop protection
- Excellent scratch resistance
- Precise cutouts for easy access to ports and buttons
- Maintains the phone’s aesthetic
Cons:
- Might not be suitable for users who need maximum protection
- Minimal Yellowing after extended use.
Overall, the ROCKCSE R13-CL106 is a solid choice for iPhone 13 Mini users who want a slim, protective, and clear case. Its combination of hard PC and shock-absorbing TPU provides a good balance of protection and aesthetics. The precise cutouts and anti-scratch properties are definite pluses. While it might not be the most rugged option on the market, its everyday protection and slim profile make it an excellent daily driver. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish case for their iPhone 13 Mini.
