We didn’t conduct drop tests, but we did look for cases that would obviously be able to withstand some impact.
Drop protection: We sought models that can adequately protect a phone without adding unnecessary embellishments or too much bulk. As more models are released for Apple’s latest phones, we’ll update this guide with additional options for a wider variety of tastes. Read on for our picks for basic cases, leather cases, wallet cases, extra-protective cases, transparent cases, thin cases, accessory-friendly cases, and battery cases. But I’ve been reviewing iPhone cases since 2011, and I’ve tested more than 70 cases for the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max, taking into account protection, utility, and design, to find the best options in a variety of styles and categories. Here are our picks for everyone else.Ĭase preferences are subjective, so we can’t tell you what the best case for you is-almost any case adds at least some degree of protection.
But hey, if a case isn’t your thing, you do you. Even with the most careful handling, accidents happen, and going commando doesn’t strike us as being worth it when the result can be a $400-plus out-of-warranty repair.
The drop protection, extra grip, and personality a case adds are worth a few dollars and the added bulk.
