No one wants to hide the spectacular looks of a brand new iPhone. But to keep it looking pristine, a case is necessary for all but the most careful of us. A clear case is a compromise that works. Otterbox has a good reputation in the phone case industry for a reason, so we recommend the Otterbox Symmetry Series Clear Case (opens in new tab) for all your clear case needs, although there are cheaper options on the list.

If budget is an issue, take a look at the LUVVITT TPU (opens in new tab) case or, even better, the JETech Bumper Case (opens in new tab) for simple, transparent protection that won't break the bank. Whatever you go with, any of these crystal clear cases will let the natural beauty of your lovely iPhone shine through.
