4. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and protective qualities of your Spigen Liquid Crystal case.
- Cleaning: To clean the case, remove it from your iPhone. Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material or cause discoloration.

5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common concerns users may encounter.
5.1 Case Appears Yellowish
Transparent TPU cases can naturally yellow over time due to UV exposure and environmental factors. This is a common characteristic of the material and not a defect. To minimize yellowing, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
5.2 Difficulty Installing/Removing Case
The case is designed for a snug fit. If you experience difficulty, ensure your phone is clean and dry. For removal, gently peel back one corner of the case and work your way around the edges. The flexible TPU material should allow for removal without excessive force.
5.3 Buttons Not Responsive
Ensure the case is correctly seated on your phone, with all edges and corners fully engaged. Misalignment can sometimes affect button responsiveness. If the issue persists, remove and re-install the case, verifying proper alignment.
