Why Do Phone Cases Turn Yellow?

Ever noticed your once crystal clear phone case turning yellow after a few months?
 It’s not you — it’s the material. Most transparent cases are made from TPU (a soft, flexible plastic) that reacts to heat, UV light, and oils from your hands, causing that yellow tint over time. Basically, daily life makes them fade faster than you’d think and giving them that horrible dirty look— especially if they’re low-quality or not properly sealed.

That’s exactly why I don’t use soft TPU cases. Every Dessi Designs phone case is made from clear hard plastic cover printed with either a scratch-resistant smooth matte finish or a dual-layer tough shell that locks the artwork directly into the surface. No flimsy TPU, no discolouration, or yellowing, no fading — just long-lasting protection and a design that actually stays cute like the day you first got it. Think of it as your forever aesthetic: always clear, always crisp, always you!
