Is the clear case supposed to be translucent in the back? I ordered a clear case, and to be honest it looks more "gray" in the back.

I have the black version, and it is glossy black on the outside, opaque throughout.

It looks a bit gray, but more like powdered clear. When up against the black back of an iPhone it looks gray for sure.

Mine is clear but once it's on the phone it looks grey because obviously the phone is grey in the back. But it definitely came clear (scratched but clear)

The model I received was totally clear. There are three kinds, and one of them, while translucent, is a smoky grey color.

I have the clear case. The case is clear on the sides but the back is more of a frosted look. It is not perfectly clear like glass. The Apple logo on the back of the phone is still visible but just barely. It's as if you are looking through a frosted beer glass.

There are three models. One is black. One is grey and one is clear. I have the clear version. Sounds like you have the gray (or smoke) version.

I have the one with the black rim and clear back. The back is clear poly. It is clear not "smoke"

That's silly that they said that. As it turns out, I have a black s4 as well, and it looks equally nice if not nicer. The case is clear, so actually it just smokes the color and the dark grey bumper looks nice with the black. So, we arent talking about insulting the color wheel here. All neutral dark greys and transparent backing looks very good against black. I think youll like it. Again, this case is very good. Hope that helped. Cheers!

It does look weird, maybe because the color? I got the case in orange also and the lining is the lighter gray you see right around the photoshopped hand, not the almost black one which is really just looks and doesn't affect the use at all... Oh and the strap is a bit thinner than shown in that picture but still perfectly adequate!! I love the case, def worth the money...

I would order the clear one if you want it to look as if there is nothing on the screen. The matte finish - the one I purchased - is definitely visible in my opinion.

My phone is white and it shows through the light grey/clear see-through back which kind-of makes it look more off-white, but as the others mentioned, there is also a completely clear round window (sealed) that shows the Apple logo and a bit of color around it which is true to color. The front is not see-through at all in the black (I can't remember what the other color options are.)

Hold it under a lamp and it appears very dark grey. In normal light it is so dark it appears to be black. Either way I am happy. A very nice case for less than 1/4 the cost including S&H; of the Apple case.

Clear. My buddy had the hunting version (camo) and I believe his waterproof case is also clear. I think only the camera body color varies.

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.

Hi Amalia, Yes, it is clear beveled glass. Some other reviewers had mentioned it used to be frosted, or some other type of translucent type glass, but had been changed to the new clear type a year or more ago. I like the clear, though, I do understand why having one that matches your existing case would matter. While not the answer you wanted, I hope this answers your question. Regards, Mike

I have the black one but yes it is clear enough to see. Hope someone with the white responds!

I think the clear case would show the wood grain. Part of the back is clouded and some clear. For sure the clear would show wood grain. I have a white phone with a red cover. Some of the design shows through and the cloudy does not.

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.

Yes. I received mine around September 18th for my Moto X and last week I noticed that it was yellow on the back. Thought at first it may have been dirt accumulation (which was weird because it was very evenly distributed), but it turns out it is just the case itself changing color. Only did it on the back and in a large area focused around the bottom center (covers about 4/5 of the back). Not very happy. Almost looks like the white walls of a cigarette smokers house... except I don't smoke nor does anyone that it is ever around lol.

I also have the blue one. No sadly the case is a darker blue and not the exact same blue as the phone. You can't really see the color of the phone too well because the back isn't really see through. But I enjoy the case for the price. It's a good case I think. But if your looking for a case to show off the color of the phone then this isn't the best case lol. :)hope that helps

I think they're all clear with the exception of the bumper, that's how mine came in.. With the black bumper and clear back. I've had it for like 6 months already and hasn't yellowed it has just gotten scratches from me dropping my phone

Hi Drew...I purchased the blue case and I am so glad I did. I was tired of looking for a black phone/case in the bottom of my bag and this case solved that problem. It is not as blue as this picture looks. The frame is blue and the back is mostly black with some blue on different spots. I recommend the case and the color
