Keep your iPhone 16 Pro Symmetry Clear Confetti of Blossoms case looking fresh. Follow these simple cleaning and maintenance steps to reduce yellowing and protect MagSafe performance.

Quick answer

Clean your Symmetry Clear case weekly with mild soap and water, avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cloths, and remove the case when using MagSafe accessories to minimize heat exposure. These habits help slow yellowing and keep the case fitting properly.

Why clear cases yellow and what you can do

Clear thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) cases naturally yellow over time due to UV exposure, heat, and skin oils. While you can't reverse yellowing, you can slow it down by minimizing sun exposure and cleaning regularly. The Confetti of Blossoms design is printed on the case, so avoid scrubbing the pattern directly.

MagSafe and heat: a trade-off

MagSafe charging generates heat, which can accelerate yellowing and weaken the case's fit over time. Remove the case during wireless charging if you want to preserve clarity, but note that this reduces the convenience of MagSafe. For daily use, the case is designed to work with MagSafe, so occasional charging with the case on is fine.

Step-by-step care routine

  1. Remove the case and rinse: Take the case off your iPhone and rinse it under lukewarm water to remove loose dust and grit. Avoid hot water, which can warp the case. Check for any trapped debris around the camera cutout and speaker openings.
  2. Wash with mild soap: Apply a small amount of mild dish soap to a soft, lint-free cloth and gently wipe the case inside and out. Do not use alcohol, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the clear finish and printed design. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue, which can attract dirt.
  3. Dry with a microfiber cloth: Pat the case dry with a clean microfiber cloth and let it air dry completely before reinstalling. Avoid paper towels or rough fabrics that can leave scratches. Ensure no moisture remains in the button covers or port openings.
  4. Clean your iPhone before reattaching: Wipe your iPhone with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and oil. Reinstall the case only when both are completely dry. A clean phone prevents grit from scratching the case's interior.
  5. Manage MagSafe heat: When using MagSafe charging, remove the case if you notice it getting warm. For everyday convenience, the case supports MagSafe, but reducing heat exposure helps maintain clarity. Consider a wired charge when your phone is already warm from heavy use.
