Does the case back or sides discolor as so many clear cases do?

YES!! Mine quickly absorbed the color of my jeans and turned blue. Now it's purple due to the added yellowing others have mentioned. It doesn't happen on the back of the case, just around the sides and corners.

My case did not discolor. As the last commentor noted, you do have to be very deliberate when you press the on/off button on the side because there is not a cutout for it. My husband carefully cut away the raised covering on his and likes it better now. I want to do that also. Good value for low cost.

I've had mine for months and haven't noticed any discolor. Best case I've bought so far.

I've had mine for just over a month and yes the sides are just barely starting to turn yellow

Not so far, and Ive had it for over 6 months. It does get small scratches and dulls from normal wear, so I will probably get a new one in a few months.

Yes, mine discolored pretty badly. It looks dark grey now instead of clear. I've bought two so far, but I don't think I'll buy a third - going to try something different.

I would say no. Since I hold the sides while using my phone and it rides around in my purse, I'm sure she perceived discoloring is probably easily washed off.

I have a dark blue S3 but yeah the left side of the line on the back is kind of frosted looking and the right side is totally clear so it does look pretty cool!

No. I've had mine in lots of harsh environments, and it is remarkably durable. No discoloration at all.

Looking at the back of the case, to the left of the "S" is not clear, kind of frosty (I got the clear, but that area is frosty). The crimson color of my Moto X back shows through nicely. Doesn't hide the accent colors around the camera lens, either. On-off button and volume control are not covered up by the case. Case edges, where your fingers would be, has just enough grip.

The clear/frost back of the case causes a slight glow on dark pictures. I tested this and saw a difference in the pictures. Its not a deal killer, but if it is something that would bother you get the black back. The case overall is great.

If you really look closely you can notice a little bit of a yellowish tint but it definitely isn't noticeable... I've had mine for a long time and it isn't much different than it was when it came in the mail. It doesn't show dirt easily or yellow. I like the case a lot.

Yes, the only complaint I have is the discoloration of the inside of case. I would recommend a darker color. I hope this help

We have the blue one for several months. There has been no discoloring at all and it matches the front cover.

I bought my clear case in August last year. I have three other cases for my HTC One but I always come back to this one even though it isn't truly clear anymore. I wouldn't actually say it's yellow but it has discolored some. My phone is silver so it shows up more than it would on a colored phone but I love it anyway and in fact, it's on my phone right now. I started noticing the discoloration after about four or five months but I'm still using it after 9 months.

I do too. That was the main reason I bought this case. The case is not clear but gives the blue more of a matte look. I have had it for several months and it still works great. I would definitely still recommend it. Fits well, has protected it well and while the color is muted through the case a bit, I like that too. Hope it helps with your decision.

I have the white one, so I'm not exactly sure. The backing of the case is transparent, though.

Yes it has 3/4 grey sides, and 1/4 clear sides. And then the back is fully clear, and the front has a white border screen protector.
854751
Yes, the backs are clear. The only difference in all of the color choices is the bumper color around the edges. Hope that helps!

No, the front has a clear cover but the back is material with padding to minimize damage to the device in case it gets dropped.

My case is clear the whole way through. The bumper color of my phone is gold, so you can see the gold through my case, but I have not experienced any yellowing, and I've had the case for several months now.

Mine is alligator finish all over. It is also brown and not really red. Nice case!

I have had the case for 6 weeks now and am handling my phone constantly. I notice no yellowing or discoloration. Exposure to sunlight is probably the worst culprit for yellowing.
