    submerge your case in hydrogen peroxide and blast it with uv light for as long as it take.

      now the important part is you need uv light to activate it and qctually quite some time, there is a little in sunlight, or you build a uv light station.

    Does tpu turn yellow as bad as silicone? As far as I know, the only thing that won’t turn yellow is polycarbonate but that is considered hard plastic, so it can’t bend and allow you to take your phone in and out of it.
    Everyone’s always looking for a clear case that doesn’t turn yellow. Let me know your thoughts on any.

    • @edcvibes
      @edcvibes  10 днів тому

    Sadly all clear cases made of a material called TPE are doomed to yellow, TPE is what most of those flexible cheaper clear cases are made of, it’s not silicone, as silicone cannot be that clear
    There isn’t a way to remove the yellowing due to a chemical reaction that affects both sides of the case, it’s essentially forever bonded to your case, if you do want a clear case that doesn’t yellow, look into Polycarbonate cases, which are less flexible and feel like glass, but shouldn’t yellow

      The answer is SEO.
      Some people might type "android case" instead of "phone case", for example. Essentially by adding both keywords to the title, he's optimising SEO.
      And for the record, it's not necessarily that people are dumb. They just name things differently. If you don't know what an OS is because... I don't know, you like piano, gardening and cooking, and not tech. Then, whenever you hear "do you have an android", you might just start associating the entire slab of plastic, metal, and glass with the word "android" as opposed to just the OS.
      When you think about it like, I'm sure it now makes a lot of sense why the title has "iPhone or Android case", it may not exactly have to do with iPhone cases being built of a different material or something.
      TL;DR, you're thinking too narrow minded, and falsely calling people dumb. This type of thinking is a danger to society.
