Having a smartphone has become a necessity now. And when you have a smartphone, having its cover becomes mandatory. After all, it protects your phone from so many things! But having said that, in not time, it turns yellow. Ever wondered why? We'll answer you that!

An Important Purchase!

As mentioned before, having a smart phone now is a necessity. And hence, a phone cover becomes an extremely important purchase. They protect your phone from unwanted scratches and damages. But even then, there is one mystery about them that really boggles a lot of brains.

The Real Question!

If you use a transparent phone cover, you know what we are talking about! You know the mystery! The mystery is about its changing color. Changing color from transparent to yellow! Has it happened with you as well? If yes, you must wanna know why it happens, right? Let's try and answering few of your questions!

The Reaction!

The case after sometimes turns yellow and no one has been able to understand why. Let's try and figure out why in pointers.

The commonest of all the reasons is its constant exposure to sunlight & heat. So how does this makes any sense? A polymer called silicone is used to manufacture the TPU case. With time the quality of the case degrades and turns the case color yellowish which is an irreversible phenomenon. So in reality, UV light from the sun reacts with the chemicals inside your case and turn it yellow!

Thanks To Your Hands

Here's another reason that people speculate when it comes to your case changing its color! The sweat and oil secretions from the hands and face causes an oxidizing reaction which changes it to yellow. This seems like a realistic possibility as well! Makes sense, right?

Final Reason

And final reason behind something like this happening is the production of these covers. A person on Quora suggested that cases are naturally yellow and have a blue dye added to it to give it a transparent look. With time the dye effect wears-off and the natural yellow color comes out. Even this is a possibility!

So which of the reasons do you deem to be true? All of them make sense, right?
