as one who buys way too many cases, I have never even heard of dropguys… This case looks the same at $16.99 I have yet to buy an Otterbox this time around as the price far exceeds the quality of this years lineup. https://smile.amazon.com/ESR-Compatible-iPhone-Pro-Max/dp/B0B7H8X7NF/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1Y5G8UV2SWTJD&keywords=dropguys%2Bcases%2Bfor%2Biphone%2B14%2Bpro%2Bmax&qid=1672510267&sprefix=dropguys%2Bcases%2B%2Caps%2C201&sr=8-4&th=1

I have an “anti-yellowing” soft sides and hard back case and it was fine for about a year, almost no yellowing at all (just a slightly tint after like 8 months) unfortunately in the months after it has become as yellow as the others.

This is unfortunately inevitable as they embed some chemicals to reduce the yellowing (as in cars’ headlights) but after some time it “vanishes” (it consumes itself to protect the plastic from what I know).

So I would suggest you either go for a pricier clear case (like apple’s) or you can go for a coloured (maybe even personalised) case, as that won’t yellow. Another option would be to buy a cheap case you like as many times as you need to keep it always new and transparent.

You’ll be fine if you keep an eye on how many photos you have on your device. I’ve been using my iphone for 3 years with 64GB and it’s just enough for me.

When I’m going to buy a new one, I will buy one with more storage to avoid storage stress. But you can live with 64GB or 128GB if you send a lot to icloud (or any backup service) and delete old stuff you don’t really need.

Either go full and purchase OG Apple case, or just go for cheaper one, no mid-ranger ones, they just focus on marketing and create a better brand image than the Chinese ones and sell similar but slightly higher quality product that's it (in terms of yellowing)

I did the same thing, and returned it and got the 512gb instead. I tame a lot of raw photos and videos

Why do you think 128GB would not be enough? I’m using a 128GB iPhone 11 for almost three years now. Never came close to it being full.

Return it and get the larger capacity you need. Your well within the return period.
