Your iPhone is likely your most used gadget on the regular, so it’s worth protecting your investment with a case. It’s understandable to want to show off the handset’s sleek design, but the last thing anyone wants is for that shiny new iPhone to get a dent in its back or a crack in its screen. There are dozens of iPhone cases out there, and it may be tempting to just get whichever Amazon serves you first when you search for one. But not all iPhone cases are created equal: not only do you have to make sure the case you want will work with your iPhone 13, iPhone 14 or the latest iPhone 15, but some provide more protection than others as well. Also, it goes without saying that there are a ton of dirt-cheap iPhone cases out there too and most of them are not worth your money. I’ve tested out a number of the most popular iPhone cases out there to come up with our top picks for the best iPhone cases you can get today.
FAQs
What is the most protective brand of phone cases?
There is no one “most protective” brand of phone cases, but rather there are many that tout extra security for your handset. Some of the most protective phone cases we’ve tried come from Otterbox; most of the brand’s cases have a bit more protection than your standard phone case, even the ones that are designed to be on the slim side. Otterbox also makes a wide variety of phone cases, so there’s a good chance you’ll find one that suits your style and provides the level of protection you’re looking for. Otterbox’s Defender series is one of the best you can get if you care first and foremost about making sure your phone survives all kinds of accidents (save for a dunk in a pool).
Silicone vs hard case: Which one is better?
Neither silicone nor hard cases are better than the other. Silicone cases tend to be thinner and feel soft to the touch, and they’re often easier to put on and take off of phones. Hard cases can be on the thicker side, but they provide a bit more drop protection than silicone cases. Which type of case is best for you depends on the type of experience you want from your phone. It’s also worth nothing that both silicone cases and hard cases come in a variety of colors, designs and styles, so you have plenty of choose from to match your personality on both sides.
