iPhone cases
Curated by Anders Andersen, Product Specialist | In business since 2010
Your iPhone represents a significant investment—and it's probably the device you reach for dozens of times every day. After 15 years of testing hundreds of cases, we've learned that the best protection is the one you'll actually keep on. That's why every case in our collection has been selected using strict criteria: certified drop-test ratings (minimum 6-foot protection), high-quality materials that won't yellow or degrade, and full compatibility with Apple's latest features including the capacitive Camera Control button. We exclude wallet-style folios and focus exclusively on cases that enhance your iPhone without adding unnecessary bulk.

How to choose the right iPhone case
The best case depends entirely on how you use your phone. Here's how we've organized our collection to help you find your perfect match.
For maximum protection
Who needs this: Construction workers, hikers, parents of toddlers, or anyone with a history of cracked screens.
What to look for:
- Multi-layer defense systems: A rigid polycarbonate inner shell wrapped in shock-absorbing synthetic rubber
- Military-grade ratings: Look for cases tested to 2X or 4X military drop standards (MIL-STD-810G)
- Advanced materials: Kevlar, aramid fiber, or carbon fiber reinforcements for impacts from 20+ feet
- Port protection: Integrated covers that keep dust and debris out of charging ports and speaker grilles
These cases add noticeable bulk but deliver true peace of mind. Every heavy-duty case we stock has been independently drop-tested and includes raised bezels to protect your screen and camera lenses when placed face-down.
For everyday protection (slim profile)
Who needs this: The majority of iPhone users who want survival-level protection without the bulk.
What to look for:
- Hybrid construction: Clear polycarbonate backs that showcase your iPhone's color, combined with flexible colored bumpers
- Camera Control compatibility: Specialized sapphire crystal caps or conductive layers that preserve the tactile feel and slide gestures of Apple's capacitive button (avoid cases with simple cutout holes)
- Impact-absorbing linings: Internal "airbag" corners or visible yellow/green dampening strips that absorb shock while keeping the case under 2mm thick
- Raised edges: Bezels that lift your screen and camera module 1–2mm off flat surfaces
This is our most popular category. These cases fit easily in pockets, support wireless charging without removal, and have saved countless iPhones from coffee-table tumbles and parking-lot drops.
For minimalists and color purists
Who needs this: Anyone who bought their iPhone specifically for Desert Titanium, Ultramarine, or another signature finish and refuses to hide it.
What to look for:
- Anti-yellowing formulas: Hard-shell clear cases treated with UV protectants (cheap silicone cases turn brown within months of sun exposure)
- Ultra-thin profiles: Cases measuring 0.5mm or less that preserve the iPhone's original dimensions and weight
- Scratch resistance: While these won't save your phone from a major drop, they excel at preventing the micro-scratches that accumulate from keys, coins, and daily handling
Trade-off alert: These cases prioritize aesthetics over drop protection. If you're prone to accidents, consider pairing a minimalist case with AppleCare+ or a high-quality screen protector.
For premium materials and aesthetics
Who needs this: Professionals who want their tech to match the quality of their briefcase or watch.
What to look for:
- Vegetable-tanned or Horween leather: Unlike mass-market "genuine leather," these develop a rich, glossy patina over 6–12 months of use, making the case look better with age
- Micro-twill or tech-woven fabrics: Soft, suede-like textures that feel warm to the touch and offer a sophisticated alternative to plastic
- Eco-friendly tanning processes: Premium leather wrapped around slim polymer frames, designed to slide smoothly into suit pockets
These cases typically cost more upfront but deliver a luxury experience. They also tend to have excellent acoustic properties—many users report that speakerphone calls sound clearer because leather dampens echo better than hard plastic.
For self-expression and style
Who needs this: Anyone who views their iPhone case as an accessory, like a watch strap or handbag.
What to look for:
- Artist collaborations: High-resolution prints from fine art to pop culture, applied to shock-rated cases (you no longer have to choose between style and safety)
- Visual effects: Iridescent finishes, embedded glitter (sealed so it won't flake), holographic patterns, or color-shifting materials
- Protective fun: Many of our expressive cases are rated for 10-foot drops, proving that bold design doesn't mean compromising protection
Don't assume a colorful case is flimsy—check the drop rating. We only stock decorative cases that meet our minimum 6-foot protection standard.

Key features that matter
The Camera Control button
Apple's capacitive Camera Control button has changed case design forever. Here's what separates good cases from bad:
❌ Avoid: Cases with deep cutout holes. These make it physically difficult to slide your finger for zoom or focus adjustments, ruining the feature Apple spent years perfecting.
✓ Look for: Cases with a sapphire crystal cap or specialized conductive layer built directly over the button. This transmits your finger movements seamlessly—including pressure levels and slide gestures—while protecting the button from scratches and impacts.
Every case in our collection has been tested with the Camera Control button to ensure full functionality.
Wireless charging compatibility
All our cases support Qi and MagSafe wireless charging without removal. However, cases thicker than 3mm may reduce charging speed slightly or require precise alignment on the charging pad.
Material durability
We've eliminated cases made from cheap TPU that degrades into a sticky mess after 12 months. Every case we stock uses either:
- Polycarbonate blends (rigid, impact-resistant)
- TPU hybrids (flexible, shock-absorbing, treated to resist UV breakdown)
- Natural materials (leather, fabric) sourced from responsible suppliers
Frequently asked questions
What's the most protective iPhone case for outdoor work or extreme conditions?
Our heavy-duty multi-layer cases offer the highest protection, with models tested to survive drops from 20+ feet (6+ meters). Look for cases with aramid fiber or Kevlar reinforcements and integrated port covers to block dust and moisture. Popular picks include cases with military-grade MIL-STD-810G certifications.
Which slim case offers the best grip to prevent drops?
Textured grip cases with dimpled or stippled sides are specifically designed to prevent drops before they happen. These cases add anti-slip surfaces to a slim profile (typically under 2mm thick) and are ideal for users who find modern iPhones too slippery. We recommend cases with rubberized side rails or micro-dot patterns.
What's the clearest case that won't turn yellow over time?
Our anti-yellowing hard-shell clear cases use proprietary blends of polycarbonate and flexible polymers treated with UV protectants. Unlike cheap soft-silicone cases that turn yellow-brown after months of sun exposure, these hard-shell hybrids stay pristine significantly longer. Check product descriptions for "UV-resistant" or "anti-yellowing" specifications.
