Which to Choose?? Speck Presidio Stay Clear or Clear + Glitter for iPhone Xs Max

Looking for a drop protective clear case for your iPhone Xs Max? Worried about yellowing? Speck has some interesting options to choose from. The Stay Clear and Clear+ Glitter both protect to an 8 ft drop and have sleek, reasonably slim profiles. The Stay Clear is specially formulated to resist yellowing, and the embedded gold glitter in the Clear + Glitter should make yellowing less noticeable when it occurs. Both cases have a very firm and secure fit on the phone, and look great on. Being glossy polycarbonate cases, scratches and fingerprints are inevitable despite special coatings, although they seem less noticeable to me in the Clear + Glitter due to the embedded glitter. These cases are nicely protective, well made, and attractive, with lifetime warranties from Speck, but they do have a few down sides. First, the volume and side buttons are relatively stiff and unresponsive—surprising as Speck usually has such excellent buttons. And second, they are very difficult to remove from the phone. Easy to put on, but removal is hard. Perhaps not an issue if you rarely remove your case, but perhaps a deal killer for frequent case changers. Finally, they are slippery in the hand, but this is not necessarily a problem. Some people prefer a case with a slick finish as they are easy to slide in and out of pockets and handbags.

The Stay Clear and Clear + Glitter are available directly from Speck as well as from many other retailers and they retail for $44.95 for the Stay Clear (available in a single color—clear) and $49.95 for the Clear + Glitter (available in the clear with gold glitter shown here, as well as a pink with gold and purple with gold option). Many thanks to the kind folks at Speck for sending me out these samples to review.

Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day!

Just too add Kristin - you’re so right about taking the case off - it certainly does stick to the phone for sure but I still love showing off the beautiful gold XS Max looks great. Thanks for your case reviews I so enjoy them 🥰

I recently bought the Clear + Glitter for my Note 8, and i love it so much!

I had the stay clear case when i first bought my Gold XS Max last September.As you say, it is very difficult to take off and i am a frequent case changer so that was a problem for me.Also, i got fed up with constantly wiping the fingerprints off, lol.Apart from that it is a nice case.I no longer use clear cases now because of those problems.I’m currently rocking the Apple Silicone Canary Yellow case which i love.Have stuck with this one for a few weeks now which is a record for me! 😂 Good review 👍

Thank you so much for this video! It helps me decide what case I would want if I wanted speck! Would you do the same thing for the 11 Pro Max?

Oh I just bought the stay clear case too. I like it but for some reason I keep going back to my smart battery case. Only coz I’m on my phone constantly. Have you tried the smart battery case yet?

The Tech Reviewer Hello, I would like to ask which is better Alpha glass or the Amplify glass? Because I can’t decide which one is the best. Anyway I’m going to put it on XR. Thank you so much

I found the Speck clear iPhone SE and IPhone 8 cases hard to remove. But for some reason the case for the iPhone XR are easy to remove. Well it is for me.

I got a speck case for my brothers s9 and after a face first drop the screen cracked despite having a tempered screen protector on (a whitestone domeglass of all things) so yeah stay away from Speck.

Once this case is on it’s pretty much stuck on

[TheHem]

No case can compete with Apple case

The feel of that case is awesome
I tried spek case looks durable but Apple case is best

When you drop your phone, kick it gently. The physics change during the drop and therefore keeps your phone from shattering.
