Over the years, Apple has improved a lot on the iPhone models. It has become the premium choice for folks who seek top-notch performance, thanks to its unique combination of hardware specs and software prowess. However, it’s not invincible. As much powerful it is, using an iPhone without a case or a cover is risky and the newly launched iPhone 12 is no different. It’s prone to drops and bumps and well, nobody would want to end up with a damaged phone. At the same time, it’s a bummer to keep the phone under wraps. And that’s when clear cases come into the picture.

The clear cases available today are way improved than earlier. Apart from safeguarding the phone against scratches and bumps, now transparent cases do their bit in protecting the phone from minor drops and falls. At the same time, most of them preserve the original profile of the phone. Sounds exciting, right?
In this post, we have rounded up some of the best clear cases for the new Apple iPhone 12. Let’s have a peek.

If you’d like to wait a few months before investing in one of the pricier cases, an affordable case like the one from Anemat makes for a good buy. This is a simple case that wraps around the phone and protects it from the usual suspects like scratches & dings and keeps off ugly fingerprint smudges. At the same time, you can show off the original color of your iPhone in all its glory.
It comes with cutouts for the buttons as well as for the ports. Plus, the raised lips along the edges and the camera bump will most likely safeguard the screen and the lenses from dust and scratches.
But at the end of the day, the low price of the Anemat case means that you will have to tradeoff the quality that is usually associated with premium cases. However, if you are looking for something short-term, this is a good place to start.
2. Spigen Liquid Crystal

Spigen is a popular brand among the phone cases and covers enthusiasts, and the Liquid Crystal series falls in their affordable lineups. Made of TPU, the Liquid Crystal cases are usually thinner than their Hybrid counterparts and are designed to keep off ugly smudges and scratches. It’s thin, lightweight, and doesn’t add much bulk to the phone’s overall build.
Like the one above, the Liquid Crystal also comes with raised lips that keep the screen and the rear camera lenses free of abrasion.
Another highlight of the Liquid Crystal cases is that it doesn’t come with raised physical reinforcement at the corners, though the corners are designed to absorb the brunt of falls. And it’s this design that helps in maintaining the streamlined design of the iPhone 12.
However, if you are one to drop your phone often, this might not be the best case for you.
3. ESR Air Armor
Simultaneously, the camera module sits flush with the case thanks to the raised lips along the edge of the camera module.
But at the end of the day, the ESR Air Arnor will add a tad bit of bulk to your iPhone 12. But if you ask me, that’s a fair bit of price to pay compared to a shattered screen.
4. OtterBox Symmetry Series

Another case that lets the original color of your iPhone 12 shine in all its might is the OtterBox Symmetry Series. It preserves the phone’s slim and compact look and builds to cushion the impact of drops and falls. As per the company’s claims, they’ve tested this case for drops and are confident that it’ll provide sufficient protection.
It bears a simple look. Here, all the buttons are covered, and you won’t find fancy features like raised corners and the likes. The good thing is that there are dedicated cutouts for the speakers and charging port.
If you are in a mood to experiment, the Stardust Glitter case makes for a cool buy. As the name implies, this clear case comes with its share of glitters. After all, it doesn’t hurt to add a little sparkle.
5. Totallee Super Thin

The Totallee case is the perfect middle ground between budget cases and premium cases. This one costs less than $40 and comes with the right set of features. For starters, it’s one of the thinnest and slimmest cases for your new iPhone 12. Secondly, the case comes with the right texture to help you grip the iPhone better.
However, this is not a clear case in the strictest sense. Instead, it has a frosted touch. Nevertheless, it does its share of keeping the phone free from the elements of nature.
A 2-year warranty backs it in case the case were to fail you. Another thing worth talking about is Totallee’s customer care. They are courteous when assisting with user complaints and feedback. And this has been backed by several users as part of their reviews for other Totallee products.
6. Apple Clear Case with MagSafe

Sure the MagSafe tech is interesting, to say the least. If you are in a mood to try out MagSafe wallet cases or wireless chargers, it makes sense to invest in a MagSafe compatible case for your iPhone. It’s the first case to support MagSafe and costs around $59. And well, like most Apple products, it bears a premium look. All you need to buy is a MagSafe charger, and you are good to go.
The Apple Clear case is a flexible case that makes it easy to snap the case on or take it off. At the same time, the case itself is scratch resistant and will keep off minor scratches off.
However, do note that the case is prone to collecting dust and lint in the long run.
Let the Color Shine
So, these were some of the transparent cases you can buy for your new iPhone 12.
Do note that clear cases are not as strong as their armored and rugged counterparts to deflecting drops.
