UGREEN Clear Case (90123) for iPhone 13 Review: Crystal Clear Protection?

After weeks of using the UGREEN Clear Case (Model #90123) for my iPhone 13, I’m ready to share my honest thoughts. This transparent case promises a lot: crystal-clear protection without sacrificing style or functionality. But does it deliver? Let’s dive in.

The UGREEN case boasts several key features. Its main selling point is the crystal-clear transparency, promising to showcase the iPhone 13’s design. It also highlights shock absorption with “four corners bumper airbags,” precise cutouts for easy access to ports, and compatibility with wireless charging. The material is a claimed high-quality TPU, promising flexibility and durability. The advertised thickness is a mere 1.2mm, aiming for a slim profile.

The transparency holds up remarkably well. After several weeks of use, I haven’t noticed any significant yellowing. The case feels surprisingly sturdy, offering decent protection against minor drops and bumps. The bumper corners provide some added assurance. The button responsiveness is excellent; I’ve experienced no issues with delayed or unresponsive button presses. Wireless charging works flawlessly with the case installed. The precise cutouts are genuinely well-executed; access to all ports is seamless. While advertised as ultra-thin, it does add a slight amount of bulk, although this is minimal and not overly noticeable.

However, the scratch resistance isn’t as impressive as advertised. While it has held up reasonably well to everyday use, I noticed minor scratches after a couple of weeks of carrying it in my pocket alongside keys. While these are superficial, they detract slightly from the pristine, clear appearance.

Pros

  • Excellent transparency, minimal yellowing.
  • Good shock absorption from the corner bumpers.
  • Precise cutouts and responsive buttons.
  • Wireless charging compatible.
  • Slim and lightweight profile.

Cons

  • Scratch resistance could be improved; minor scratches appeared after a short time.
  • While advertised as “ultra-thin”, it still adds some minimal bulk.

Overall, the UGREEN Clear Case (90123) for iPhone 13 offers a good balance of protection and style. While the scratch resistance isn’t perfect, the overall performance is satisfactory. If you’re looking for a transparent case that prioritizes protection and wireless charging compatibility, this is a solid choice. However, be prepared for some minor scratches with everyday use. I would recommend this case, but manage expectations regarding scratch resistance.
