Basically the title, from your experience, what is the best case quality from the known online brands ?

I used dBrand in the past for Android, but don't have strong opinion.

Best iPhone case?
Best looking iPhone case?

I’m upgrading to the iPhone 17 Pro Max next month, but right now I just need a good case for my 16 Pro Max. Plan is to hand it down to my dad later, so if the case is solid I’ll grab the same one for my new phone too.

Tried a bunch of iPhone cases and honestly most of them are trash. The ones that actually protect are usually bulky or just ugly. I’m after something that actually lasts and still looks good basically the best iPhone case that’s both durable and clean looking.

A leather case could be nice too, but only if it’s good quality and not one of those that peels after a month. Anyone got recommendations for the best phone cases for iphone or even iPhone leather case that’s protective and still feels premium?

I have used Apple cases, InCase, Belkin, Tech21, Otterbox, Native Union, and Logitech (for various devices) and I have found that the Apple cases are good, but not the best in terms of durability. I. think the most durable cases tend to be the Otterbox cases, but they are expensive.

In terms of value, I think the best cases are "generic" third party cases. This is just for iPhones and Airpods, though, as the laptop generic cases I have had experiences with tend to be cheap and do not fit well.

I don't have much experience with laptop cases (not protective bags, but actual shells), so I can't comment a whole lot in that area.

I have the iPhone 16 pro, and when I got the phone I got their silicone phone case. Well it’s been a few months and I’ve done tore it up. Idk what I even did to tear and chip the sides but I guess I’m more rough with my phone than I thought. For context I’m a stay at home mom and my phone gets moved around the house constantly since not all my clothes have pockets so I usually just carry it by hand. I was originally looking at the Tech21 FlexPro case with the wristlet but the only color I want is unavailable to ship(the neon green). The wristlet was gonna be a great bonus but like I said it isn’t available in the color I really really want. So I was wondering what would yall recommend for a phone case that’s super durable, long lasting, and MagSafe?

Hi everyone!! as seen from the title, please suggest high quality iphone cases for iphone 16 plus!! although i still consider shops from tiktok and shapi, please drop your recommendations that are not that expensive but would be really worth its price and quality 🫶🏻

Just got a 15 pro a few days ago and I would love to use it without a case because it looks SO GOOD in blue but you know how fragile these phones can be. I wondering if you guys could recommend some nice looking cases.

I have had iPhones in the past have chipping issues, even though they have been put in a case.

What cases are the best quality and that won’t cause chipping

Edit: from the comments, overall spigen seems to be the most recommended one

Can you please recommend iPhone cases (cheap and expensive) that won’t scratch the side of the phone and protect the phone.

I’m going to buy the iPhone 17 Pro next week and I’m already searching for a case. Every iPhone 15 Pro Max case I have tried that was clear ended up yellowing after a few months, and most rugged cases that actually protect the phone just look too bulky and ugly like a robot lol

This time I want something that does both: style and real protection. I have been looking at iPhone 17 Pro Max cases but still haven’t found one that really feels like the BEST case for iPhone 17 Pro Max. I see a lot of pre-orders for cases, but I’d rather hear from people who’ve actually used good ones on older iPhones.

I prefer leather, but I know Apple stopped making their own. Has anyone tried an iPhone leather case lately that actually lasts? I don’t want the leather to start peeling after a month. If there’s a good iPhone 17 Pro leather case or iPhone 17 Pro Max leather case out there, I’d really like to know.

Ideally I’d like something that could be considered the iPhone 17 Pro Max leather case, but I’m open to suggestions for the best iPhone cases overall too. Not planning to cut corners on accessories for my new phone.

Thanks!!

Suggestions please!

I am a frequent phone dropper and after a recent accident was wondering what is the best "rugged" I phone case out there? I heard that otter box, Maus, and Spigen were all good but out of all of them which could take the most falls?

What is the best case that you can easily recommend always ? Price doesn't matter

For the life of me I can’t find a case I like. Apple ones are the closest but went through two of them and they’re not cheap and break easily

i am looking for a phone case that i can use for my 14 pro that can withstand the test of time while also provide the necessary protection needed.

I am someone that don’t usually drop my phone & I care for it quite well.

Any suggestions?

I understand that every case is not perfect & everyone have their own preferences but do leave your suggestions & maybe it could also provide anyone that’s also searching as well.

Hi,

I’ve never bought an expensive phone case, so I’m looking for recommendations on affordable iPhone cases that can do a decent job of protecting the phone from minor scratches and drops.

I can’t wrap my head around spending $50 on a case for a $1,000 phone.

Do you have any affordable options you’d recommend?

I’m planning to get the iPhone 17 Pro Max soon and I’m already stressing about what case to use. I really want something thin and minimal this time, but still protective enough for normal everyday drops.

I’ve used “thin” cases in the past on my iPhone 15 pro max and 14 max, but most of them either turned yellow got scratches really fast, or get s slippery that I was always scared of dropping the phone. On the other hand, all the rugged cases I’ve tried end up looking bulky and ruin the whole premium feel of the phone.

So for anyone already using thin cases on previous iPhones

which brands actually hold up well in real life? I’d love recommendations for something:

• slim / minimal

• doesn’t yellow or peel n grip

• doesn’t ruin the look of the phone

• fits the iPhone 17 Pro Max properly (or based on your experience with the 15/16 series)

I prefer something close to the “barely-there” feel, but not completely useless in protection.

If you’ve used a thin case that genuinely lasted, please let me know! I really want to avoid wasting money on cases that look good only for the first week.

Here is Quick table selection for you after the discussion

Most companies don’t have drop ratings and most lists don’t talk exclusively about durability, rather generalized cases that they like.

iPhone 16 Pro

I prefer something that is not just a very dark Black or navy or green. I’m not a fan of it looking particularly rigid

Ideally without the MagSafe symbol prominently displayed.

Here are the ones that I have looked and at not loved the designs of, but I wouldn’t mind it if you make a case for it:

-Otterbox (HUGE NO — screen shattered immediately due to the huge empty portion for the new button, like ¼ of the right side of the case is not there)

-Lifeproof

-Zagg

-STM

-Speck

-urban armor gear

Ones that I don’t know if they are durable / safe but have looked at

-tech21

-casetify

-Mous

-Torras life

Thank you!
