iPhone XR Cases

An iPhone 11 case will not fit your XR

Start here, because this is the most commonly made mistake on this model. The iPhone XR and iPhone 11 are almost impossible to tell apart. Both are 6.1 inches, both use an LCD display, both have an aluminium frame, the same notch and a Lightning port, and their dimensions differ by a fraction of a millimetre.

The difference is on the back and nobody checks it before buying. The XR has one camera lens. The iPhone 11 has two, in a square housing. An iPhone 11 case will slide onto an XR and fit the body perfectly, leaving a gaping second cutout where there is no lens and worse, an XR case on an 11 covers a working camera. Check under Settings > General > About before ordering, and treat any listing claiming to fit both as a warning sign.

The colour is the reason for a clear case

The XR was the colour iPhone of its generation yellow, coral, blue and red alongside black and white, in a glossy colour-matched glass back that nothing since has matched. A lot of people chose it specifically for that, and an opaque case throws it away.

If you want it visible, a clear case is the obvious pick, but check the construction. Untreated TPU yellows within a few months and faster under New Zealand sun, which shows badly over a bright back panel a yellowing case over a coral XR looks considerably worse than it would over a black phone. Look for anti-yellowing or anti-oxidation construction, and ideally a design with raised edges around the screen and camera so you are not trading protection for clarity.
