Hi. Does this case turn yellow (ish) after using it for a while? Does the air bubble look on the back go away after using? Thanks so much!

Unfortunately my case did turn yellowish in time. The air bubble look flattened out and in no longer there.

I have had it for a couple months only, still looking shiny and new. As for the air bubbles...still there a bit, but only on the white edges.

So far it has not turned yellow but air bubble has not gone away. I ordered a different case a few days ago because seeing the air bubble drives me nuts

The air bubble look goes away. No yellowing. You have to clean it intermittently, as it seems to attract dirt.

My case did change in the color's appearance. Instead of the clear color that it started out being, it now looks like it has a brownish/bronze tint. As for the air bubbles, they come and go, being mostly small either at the top or bottom of the case. Either way, neither are really bothersome to me. I just didn't expect the color to change to one I favor!

It's not really yellow, it just isn't quiet as clear as when I received it. I've tried to clean it both on the inside of the case as well as the out. It's still a great case but the slight discoloration is there.

I have the blue and white case and because the white part is rubber it gets really dirty. I don't think it comes clean...I've tried several methods to clean mine. I recommend getting a case where the rubber is a darker color.

Rubber edges of the case has become yellowish. Had it for a couple of months now. Didn't expect it to turn yellow so soon. I have a white case btw. Also the rubber is getting unglued from the hard back case. Didnt last long for me.

I really liked this case, but I did notice that it turned a noticeable yellow more-so around the battery where majority of the heat was generated from. I had it starting back in September 2012 when I bought the phone until now almost August 2013. It definitely held up rather well other than the yellowing factor. The thickness, texture, and the cutouts from what I recall were dead on and I can easily remove from my pant pockets.

It is the same rubber as around the case and for the buttons. So it discolors just the same. :p

Mine has not faded but I've only been using it a couple of weeks( I switch cases out often); I love this case, so shiny, unique; seems high quality. Hope this helps

Had the case for about four months and have had no yellowing at all. Love the case.

I havent experienced it yet with the clear one I got, and I've had it for 2 months. I have had 2 cases that were each half the price of this case bought at walmart or something and they turned yellowish although it was a longer span of time. So this type of material must discolor. I wonder if there is any way to prevent it "

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.

Very good observation! The area around the flash is the same color as the plastic mount to hold the phone. With the Black leather it's black, in the red and brown, it's white. I have the brown case and there is definitely reflection off the case. I took a black sharpie and blacked the inside part around the flash. Not noticeable with the phone in the case and eliminates most of the bounce back. However, I think this is a problem with leather cases generally where the flash is as much as 1/8" deep in the case. There will be some bounce-back against the edge of the case. Had the same problem with a prior 4S case (which was black) and it took me a couple days to figure out that was the problem.

Nope. That's not normal. Mine is consistently green. It turns yellow for a minute or two when I have lots of air movements and it goes back to green after. I can tell the difference in cleanliness in the air for sure.

Mine turned yellow in various spots on the case as well. I only had it on acouple weeks though.

Same issue with the mint case. So sad, because I love the colour, but it's turning all brownish around the bumper edges... sigh. Might have to get the black one, so that stains won't show. Have not tried cleaning it yet, but if I find a good solution I will post it.

I have had this case for about 11 months now....normal use no major drops....in and out of purse etc etc. The bumper does get yellow/dingy from normal handling, I have tried cleaning the removable bumper with soap and water thinking it was makeup etc buildup but no improvement and the back does scratch.

Mine hasn't discolored and the UV coating on the case is supposed to prevent that from happening as advertised. I'm pretty happy with my case that I bought an extra one. Hope that helps!
