Custom Series · Clear & Privacy
A clear case only works if it stays clear, and a privacy case only works if the numbers are real. Both come down to material and measurement rather than marketing.

Yellowing is a chemistry problem, not a quality-control failure. UV exposure oxidises the polymer and the material ambers. Two materials behave very differently:
| Material | Typical yellowing | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Untreated clear TPU | 3–6 months | Cheap, flexible, and the reason most clear cases get thrown away |
| Treated PC back | 12–18 months | Rigid, anti-yellowing treatment resists UV oxidation |
| TPU edges under heavy sun | Sooner than the back | Edges are thin and take the most UV exposure |
Practical guidance: do not spec an all-TPU clear case and promise customers it stays clear. Use treated PC for the transparent panel, or accept that the bumper will amber and design around it.
White or metallic print reads well on a transparent back and keeps the phone colour visible. A printed ring can also hide the magnet ring on clear magnetic cases, if a visible circle is a problem for the buyer.
| Spec | Value | What it means in use |
|---|---|---|
| Privacy cutoff | ≈28° off-axis | Readable head-on, fades to black at the sides |
| Head-on transmission | ≈68% | Slightly dimmer than bare glass; barely visible indoors |
| Layer | Tempered glass, 0.33 mm | Resists scratches, no edge bubbling like a film |
| Touch | Digitizer reads normally | No sensitivity loss on the cover display |
A privacy film and a privacy tempered layer are different products. Film is cheap, scratches, and lifts at the edges within months. Ask which one you are being quoted.
Treated PC backs typically show no visible yellowing within 12–18 months of normal use. Untreated clear TPU can amber in 3–6 months.
Head-on transmission is about 68%, so it looks slightly dimmer than bare glass. Outdoors you may raise brightness one step.
Real tempered glass, 0.33 mm. It resists scratches and does not bubble at the edges the way film does.
Yes — white, silver or full-colour UV print, or laser etching for a frosted mark.
