iPhone 15 & 15 Pro | The 4 Best Clear Cases in Test
Under each case, you’ll find the pros and cons, as well as the link where I purchased the case.
The Original Apple Clear Case for iPhone 15
The Original Apple Clear Case for iPhone 15 stands out due to its special material. Unlike the others which are made of two parts, a hard back with a rubber frame, this case is made from a single piece. This material doesn’t turn yellow, unlike the rubber on other cases. The case is a complete hard case, providing perfect protection in case of a fall. The display is elevated by the case, so it won’t come into direct contact with surfaces during a fall or when placed down, even with a tempered glass screen protector attached. The rear camera is also protected by an elevated edge. Additionally, it features MagSafe integration and all the tempered glass protectors from my iPhone 15 tempered glass test fit with this case.
Unfortunately, the bottom of this case is not enclosed. The buttons require a very firm press, and of course, the price is quite high. In this case, it might be worth taking a closer look at the ROXX Clear Case, which offers the same material, metal buttons, and a closed bottom, all for less than half the price.
Price: $49
Pros:
✓ Hard case
✓ Display protection
✓ Camera protection
✓ Does not yellow
✓ Compatible with MagSafe
✓ Compatible with all tempered glass protectors
✓ Precise cutouts
Cons:
✗ Bottom is not enclosed
✗ Buttons do not have a perfect tactile feel, very firm
✗ Expensive
✗ Attracts fingerprints
Conclusion – Who is this case suitable for?
For those who insist on having an original and price is not a concern, this case is a solid choice. The only real drawback is that the case is open at the bottom, and the buttons require a strong press.

The ROXX Clear Case for iPhone 15
The ROXX Clear Case offers the same advantages as the Original Clear Case from Apple for the iPhone 15, but with several improvements. Firstly, this case is also enclosed at the bottom, with the speakers individually cut out to prevent less dirt and dust from entering. The buttons are made of metal, providing a perfect and audible tactile feel. Of course, MagSafe is also included here, all for less than half the price.
Price: Only available in Germany for €28,90

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case for iPhone 15
The Spigen Ultra Hybrid case for iPhone 15 is a familiar sight in almost every test. Over time, it has become slightly thinner. Here too, we have all the essential protection features: a hard case with a rubber frame, display protection, and camera protection. The buttons are easy to operate, and you can combine it with any tempered glass protector. Additionally, MagSafe is included here, and all the cutouts for speakers, etc. are well placed.
Of course, the same applies here as with the rubber frame; it may yellow over time. Also, I find the price to be on the higher side.
Price: $18.99
Pros:
✓ Hard case
