 Every iPhone should be in a case. The drop protection, extra grip, and personality a case adds are worth a few dollars and the added bulk. 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. But hey, if a case isn’t your
thing, you do you. Here are our picks for everyone else. Case 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 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. 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. As more models are released for Apple’s latest phones, we’ll update this guide with additional options for a wider variety of tastes.
Who it’s for: Anyone looking for a simply designed, long-lasting, protective case at an affordable price. Why it’s great: The Smartish Gripmunk is a deceivingly feature-packed case that’ll protect your iPhone through almost any situation. Iterations of the case (dating back to when the company was known as Silk and the case was called the Base Grip) have been our top picks since the iPhone 7, and the 2019 model only improves on what we love. The standard design is plain enough that it doesn’t offend most aesthetic sensibilities, but you can also personalize it with a custom print to make it your own. And it just so happens to be one of the more affordable cases out there. I’ve tested close to 2,000 iPhone cases since 2011, and nothing has hit all the right notes the way the Gripmunk does. The case is a one-piece design made of a thin and light flexible plastic called thermoplastic polyurethane, or TPU. The material has a bit of flex, just enough that installation and removal are pretty easy but not so much that the case might accidentally pull away along the edges. Once you’ve installed the case, the iPhone’s screen stays recessed below a protective lip that puts some space between the glass and whatever surface you might lay—or drop—your phone on. The design also creates air pockets inside all four corners, which should absorb some of the shock if you drop your phone. One of the more clever features of the Gripmunk is its multi-textured design. The back panel is smooth, so you can easily slide your phone in and out of pockets without it catching, while the border has a pebbly texture, which provides some extra grip. For the iPhone 11 models, Smartish has added subtle ridges along the edges as well. They’re low enough that you might not see them if you’re not actively looking, but they make it just a little easier to hold on to your phone. The iPhone’s buttons are protected, but they still click quite nicely without feeling mushy. No case can guarantee that you won’t break your phone, and in fact, I have shattered my iPhone’s screen once while using an earlier version of the Gripmunk. To put that in context, though, that happened after dozens, if not hundreds, of drops without any damage. Wirecutter editor Adrienne Maxwell’s phone survived a particularly extreme trip: “I can confirm that the Smartish Gripmunk will grip an iPhone XR to the hood of a Honda Civic going 55 mph for about 2 miles. And the case does actually protect the phone when it eventually flies off the car and lands on the side of the road.” The case itself stands up to such tumbles, too: After almost a year, my iPhone XS version had a few small dings along the edges, but nothing significant that would prevent me from using it for the foreseeable future. The Gripmunk comes in solid colors as well as attractive prints. Photo: Michael Murtaugh We like the solid-color options Smartish offers, but it also has high-resolution prints that look quite nice. And you can even personalize the case with your own image or text on the company’s website. We also like the clear “Nothin’ to Hide” version quite a bit, but because of the textured edges, it’s not as transparent as our top clear pick. Flaws but not dealbreakers: We’ve found that the Gripmunk can discolor over time, especially from being carried in a new pair of jeans. The change happens subtly, and the result is not necessarily a bad look, just different. You may not even notice unless you put your old case up against a new one. Although you can get prints that reflect your personal style more, the basic versions of the Gripmunk are rather plain. If you’re looking for something that says “premium,” this isn’t it. This case is also not as thin as our ultrathin pick, but it does provide significantly more protection. Available colors: Black Tie Affair, Blues on the Green, Nothin’ to Hide, Purple Reign, various printed options Best leather case: Apple Leather CaseWho it’s for: People who prefer the look and feel of leather and are willing to pay for it. Why it’s great: It’s pretty surprising that with so many case companies making truly great stuff, not one has been able to compete with Apple’s Leather Case. It’s the thinnest and most attractive leather case out there, yet it doesn’t cost any more than less impressive third-party cases. And the color options are particularly great this time, including a vibrant yellow and a deep green. The Apple Leather Case is made of a thin sheet of real leather stretched out over the exterior of a semirigid frame, with microfiber lining the interior. Even with those multiple layers, it’s quite thin and light. Some competitors use a combination of leather and rubber that adds significant bulk and makes the Apple Leather Case even more appealing in comparison. Our favorite feature, apart from the overall design, is the button protection. The volume and side buttons are each covered by aluminum insets that are color-matched to the leather. They make it feel as if you’re clicking the buttons without any case in the way, and they look quite nice. Like all of our case picks, Apple’s leather model has a tall-enough raised lip around the screen that should help keep the glass from touching the ground if you drop the phone. Flaws but not dealbreakers: Many Wirecutter writers and editors have found that the lifespan of the Apple Leather Case is about a year. At that point, the fabled aged patina often wears to rattiness, and the underlying plastic begins to show through. Obviously, your experience will vary based on how you treat the case, but don’t expect it to last forever. All of Apple’s cases leave the iPhone’s bottom edge fully exposed. Some people may prefer this design if they don’t like the way swiping up feels when material is there, but it does leave that portion of the phone’s steel frame and glass screen susceptible to damage. Available colors: Meyer lemon, forest green, midnight blue, saddle brown, black, red A leather option for the iPhone 11Also greatApple doesn’t make a leather case for the iPhone 11. Mujjo’s Full Leather Case isn’t quite as good as the one Apple makes for the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max, but it is the best you’ll find for the 11. The design is similar enough that you could fairly call it a knockoff: slightly rough-textured but still supple leather on the outside, microfiber on the inside, and an open bottom edge. Where the Mujjo case falls short is in the button covers, which are molded into the leather instead of metal accents. This makes pressing the buttons feel a bit squishier. Even so, nothing beats the slim design and understated looks. Combine your wallet and phone: Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1
Who it’s for: Someone who wants to try to ditch their wallet by carrying their cards, ID, and phone together. Why it’s great: Smartish’s Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 is essentially the same case as the Gripmunk, with room for three cards on the back. It’s made of the same durable TPU material and has the same smart design features that make it protective yet understated. If you don’t want to carry a full wallet, it’s a great option. By its nature, the Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 is about twice as thick as other cases. But the curves fit well in the hand and help hide the bulk. Unlike cases incorporating a flexible pocket that stretches as you add cards, this case has a molded plastic design, so it doesn’t change in thickness whether you have cards in it or not—and it can’t deform over time.
The holder on the back of the case is cleverly designed to hold one, two, or three cards. A raised bump in between the back of the case and the pocket puts pressure on the cards and holds them in place—so you don’t have to worry about a single card being too loose and falling out, if that’s all you carry. The cards are well protected, with only a thumbnail-sized portion showing along the left edge. That opening is how you push the cards out when you need to access them. Flaws but not dealbreakers: Any wallet case will add more bulk than a case without card-holding functionality, and that holds true for the Wallet Slayer Vol. 1. We don’t think the added thickness is offensive, but it may be too much for tight pockets. You shouldn’t expect to use wireless charging while you have cards in the case. Although Smartish provided us with data from a study it commissioned showing that the magnetic field from charging isn’t strong enough to demagnetize a credit card, most Qi manufacturers and Apple itself warn against putting anything between your phone and the charger, including credit cards. If you’re using a metal credit card, including the titanium Apple Card, its presence may actually block wireless charging altogether. We recommend a folio-style case if you want something to hold your cards that doesn’t interfere with wireless charging. Available colors: Black Tie Affair, Blues on the Green, Purple Reign, Chef's Special, various printed options A more protective option: Speck Presidio ProWho it’s for: Someone who tends to drop their phone a lot or is just a little more paranoid about damage. Why it’s great: No case can guarantee it will save your phone from damage in every situation, and many of the options that promise a higher level of protection are ugly, expensive, or both. Speck’s Presidio Pro represents a good compromise: It stands up better to drops than a more basic case but doesn’t look overengineered, and the price isn’t unreasonable. Despite the extra protection the Presidio Pro offers, it isn’t particularly bulky. Photo: Michael Murtaugh The Presidio Pro is a single-piece case with two layers: a plastic, matte-finish exterior case and a rubber lining with shock-absorbent air pockets around the perimeter. Together, these two elements help absorb more shock than a thinner or simpler case might. Speck promises 13-foot drop protection, up from 10 feet on the 2018 models. Also new for the iPhone 11–series cases, Speck has integrated an antimicrobial agent into the plastic of the case to help kill germs on the case; Speck claims it reduces bacteria by 99 percent. Whether that truly matters is up in the air—phones are dirty, but is having a slightly cleaner phone really going to make a difference in your life?—but it certainly doesn’t hurt. And if you frequently hand your phone over to a 5-year-old who is demanding to watch Paw Patrol, you may appreciate some extra germ-stopping power. If you want a case with a little more character, consider Incipio’s Aerolite or Tech21’s Evo Check. Both offer drop protection comparable to that of the Presidio Pro but have more distinctive styles that you might prefer. Flaws but not dealbreakers: If you’re looking for a case that can truly take a beating, day in and day out, the Presidio Pro may not live up to your standards. It’s quite tough, but we wouldn’t recommend throwing it around. For bombproof coverage, consider a bulkier case from OtterBox or another company. Available colors: black/black, filigree grey/slate grey, Bali blue/skyline blue, coastal blue/black, parrot pink/chiffon pink A transparent case to show off your phone: Spigen Liquid CrystalWho it’s for: Anyone who wants to show off the design of their iPhone while still fully protecting it. Why it’s great: Apple’s iPhone colors have gotten great, and it’s reasonable to want to show yours off. Spigen’s Liquid Crystal is the best clear case to do so. Much like the Smartish Gripmunk, it’s a single-piece TPU case with air pockets in the corners for drop protection. As on most transparent cases today, the inside of the case is lined with small dots that eliminate water-stain-like blotches on the back of your phone due to the case sticking to the phone’s glass back. The Liquid Crystal is totally transparent but still protective. Photo: Michael Murtaugh Two main things set it apart from the very crowded field of transparent cases. The first is less-evident fingerprints. All clear cases will show fingerprints, but TPU hides them better than hard plastic does. On other cases in this category, you’ll see them from the moment you pick the case up. Then there’s the branding. While the Spigen logo is etched into the left edge, and the “made in” information is on the right, nothing is on the back. The result simply looks better than when you have a large logo slapped across the iPhone’s rear panel, such as with Incipio’s otherwise-great NGP Pure. Flaws but not dealbreakers: All transparent TPU cases turn yellow over time. It happens subtly, and you may not notice the change until you compare an older case side by side with a newer one. But if you tend to be bothered by an accessory not looking pristine, be prepared to invest in a few of these cases, especially if you’ll be holding on to your phone for more than a year. The Liquid Crystal used to be our favorite transparent case for the iPhone 11, but it’s now only available in a darker finish. Available colors: crystal clear, space crystal A superthin case we like: Caudabe Veil
Who it’s for: People who are more concerned about scratches than drops, or who are willing to sacrifice drop protection to get a case that adds very little bulk to their phone. Why it’s great: We really think the extra weight and thickness of the cases we list above are worth tolerating for the protection they offer. But if you simply want a case that’s as thin as possible to help mitigate the possibility of scratches on your iPhone, or to change how the surface feels, go with Caudabe’s Veil. It’s nearly identical to other popular ultrathin cases, but the slightly rougher texture helps it provide more grip than others. And a little more grip is a big help with a case that might not provide as much drop protection as a thicker option. The Veil is simply a plastic skin that mirrors the iPhone’s curves, terminating where the screen meets the frame. So although it protects the rear glass and metal sides, it has no lip to prevent damage to the display. The benefit is that the case adds an almost imperceptible amount of thickness—0.02 inch—and weighs only a tenth of an ounce. It’s the closest you can come to not having a case while still having a case. Caudabe offers a one-year warranty on the Veil, which is half the coverage that other ultrathin cases come with. But that warranty allows for two claims whereas others limit you to just one, and the company will ship a new case out to you with just a bit of proof. And the case itself costs $10 less than the competition. Flaws but not dealbreakers: Again, you’re not getting drop protection with the Veil. The extra layer may be beneficial in a tumble, but don’t expect the case to save your phone if you drop it. With such low tolerances, installation can be a bit tricky, and we’ve actually broken another thin case while putting it on a phone during testing. We recommend that you follow Caudabe’s instructions (PDF) to ensure that you don’t have to cash in your warranty early. Available colors: frost, stealth black, forest green An accessory-friendly case: Quad LockWho it’s for: People who want to use their phone for a variety of activities that require special accessories. Why it’s great: Although most cases don’t limit how you use your phone, few add multi-modal functionality. If you’re looking to mount your phone in a variety of scenarios, such as while you’re running, biking, working at your desk, or sitting in a car, Quad Lock’s Case is the best option. The sleek TPU case has a clever attachment mechanism on the back that works with an array of accessories, but it isn’t much thicker than the Smartish Gripmunk. We like the Quad Lock because you can use it just as you would any other case without feeling burdened by extra bulk, and it has the widest and most secure range of mounts we’ve found in the category. On the back of the case is a roughly 1¼-inch, X-shaped mounting point housed in an ever-so-slight bump. Each of the mounts has a corresponding relief of that shape, allowing for a twist-and-lock attachment: Simply twist a quarter turn, and the pieces lock in place. Quad Lock’s accessory lineup includes the Car Mount, Sports Armband (our upgrade pick for the best armband), Belt Clip, Bike Mount (a staff favorite), Out Front Mount (also for bikes), Wall Mount, Universal Adaptor, Home/Office Desk Mount, and Tripod Adaptor. If you don’t find yourself going back and forth between at least a couple of these accessories, the Quad Lock system likely doesn’t make sense for you. But if you can see yourself snapping your case in place when you want to go for a ride or a run, it’s a great option. Flaws but not dealbreakers: The Quad Lock case comes only in black, so if you’re looking for something with a little more personality, it may not be for you. If you use a wireless charger, you may find that the extra thickness either prevents or at least interferes with charging. Quad Lock sells an expensive wireless charging head that works with its car and desk mounts and addresses the problem for those who encounter it. Best battery case: Apple Smart Battery CaseWho it’s for: Someone who’s often running down their battery and doesn’t want to carry a power bank. Why it’s great: While there’s not much competition, Apple’s Smart Battery Case is the best battery case for the iPhone 11. It provides as much or more charge as any other battery case in a similarly sized package, and it has benefits that only Apple can offer. It’s the only case that allows you to see its charge level on the phone’s screen, it intelligently controls charging both in and out, and, for the first time, it has a physical camera button. All three versions of the case have large 10.9 Wh batteries. That’s lower than the capacity of Zencase’s batteries, but because the Smart Battery Case plugs into the Lightning port, it’s much more efficient (so it gets more charge out of fewer watt-hours). We tested each battery case by charging a fully drained phone until the case was depleted, and repeating each test three times to get an average figure. The iPhone 11 case delivered a 73 percent charge. For the iPhone 11 Pro, it was 76 percent, and for the Pro Max, 59 percent. The batteries in these phones are already impressive, so this much extra charge should get you through a weekend away from an outlet. And because it uses a physical connection, charging is faster than from cases that wirelessly refuel the phone. You can, however, wirelessly charge the case, either on its own or when it’s on the phone. When you charge the phone in its case, the speed and charging priority will depend on what kind of charger you’re using.
While versions of the Smart Battery Case have been around since the iPhone 6S in 2015, 2019’s edition is the first to add a new way of controlling your phone. Towards the bottom of the right edge, the case has a small indented button. Pressing and holding for about a second brings up the camera viewfinder, even if the phone had been locked. You can then click to take photos, or hold to shoot video. It’s easy to find the button by touch, but difficult to accidentally trigger it, and it works reliably, making it the perfect kind of addition. As for the case itself, it’s about 0.7 inches thick, but that kind of bulk is to be expected from a battery case. There’s no “chin” underneath the phone’s screen, and from the front, you can’t even tell it’s a battery case. Apple’s battery cases are the only ones that allow the passthrough Lightning port to be used for power or audio; others don’t work with headphones. Flaws but not dealbreakers: The Smart Battery Case is made of the same material as Apple’s Silicone Case, which picks up dust and lint, and can be difficult to slide in or out of a pocket. Available colors: black, white, pink sand (iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max only) Why you should trust usI’ve been Wirecutter’s case reviewer since 2014, and in my career as an accessories writer, I’ve reviewed around 2,000 iPhone cases. That number spans multiple generations of Apple devices, including every iPhone since the iPhone 4 and every iPad. I’ve probably handled more iPhone cases than almost anyone on the planet, so I have a particularly experienced perspective and depth of knowledge when it comes to these items. We also conducted hands-on panel discussions with multiple groups of Wirecutter staffers to get a range of subjective opinions on our picks. How we picked and testedWe considered a huge number of factors when choosing the best cases, from objective measures such as physical dimensions and level of protection to subjective considerations of look and feel. Although we have a variety of recommendations across various styles, all of our picks satisfy the following criteria:
Many of these cases are iterations on models we’ve been using for years, and we took that into account as well. Although nothing was automatically a pick just because it had been in the past, we’ve learned a lot about how these designs hold up and how the companies that make them support their customers when the cases wear out. We assembled a huge collection of cases and then put each one on the appropriate iPhone to see how well it fit and functioned. Just because we dismiss a case in the Competition section or don’t mention it in this guide doesn’t mean it’s not good. The cases above are simply our picks for the best cases for most people—you may have specific needs, or specific stylistic preferences, that make a different case better for you. The competitionBasicApple’s Silicone Case is, as every previous generation has been, a lint and dust magnet. It also leaves the iPhone’s bottom edge exposed, and we’ve seen it wear down to the plastic core over time. Caudabe’s Sheath is a nice-feeling alternative to the Smartish Gripmunk, with a pleasant pebbly texture all over, but it’s about twice the price without any air pockets in the corners or other material benefits. The Caudabe Synthesis is also attractive if you like the translucent back, but again, it’s more expensive. Pelican’s Rogue has a neat three-dimensional texture that will appeal to some people but will interfere with adhesive accessories like PopSockets. Spigen’s Liquid Air comes only in black and has a raised pattern on the back that some people may not like. Grip2ü’s Slim is simply a thin plastic shell with a silicone band integrated into the back; we wouldn’t recommend this style of case without the band, and the addition doesn’t make it a better choice. The Grip2ü Boost is a better case overall, but it makes the iPhone’s buttons hair-trigger sensitive. Torras’s Love Series feels like a bulky knockoff of Apple’s Silicone Case and attracts dust even more readily. Tech21’s Studio Colour is a nice-looking, simple case, but it’s too expensive compared with the Smartish Gripmunk, which has more features and looks nicer. Rather than having individual bumps over the volume buttons, Moshi’s Altra has a single long cover, making it harder to control the volume by feel. The iPhone 11 version of EasyAcc’s Slim Case has too short a lip. For about the same price, you’re better off with the more protective Smartish Gripmunk. ESR’s Yippee Color Soft Case feels similar to Apple’s Silicone Case but offers full protection along the bottom and costs a fraction of the price. We suggest considering this one if you really like the style of Apple’s case. Razer’s Arctech Slim is a simple shell with an open bottom and no button protection that’s supposed to dissipate heat from the phone, which is something we’ve never really needed from a case. The Arctech Pro, with a vented back, is at least a full case with proper coverage, but unless you find your phone often overheating from marathon gaming sessions or you just love the Razer branding, we can’t find a reason to choose this one. Casetify has a range of cases with different patterns and levels of protection, but each and every one of them has the company’s name printed on a black border around the camera, which we find off-putting. Case-Mate offers many fashion cases that some people might find aesthetically appealing but aren’t clearly better than any of the cases we recommend in a given category. If you find one you love, though, we think it’ll do a perfectly good job of protecting your phone. Moment’s Bio Case is a slim case that gets a lot of the little details right. The ridged back adds some grip, the buttons press well, and the lip is tall enough around the screen. But it doesn’t have the Smartish Gripmunk’s air pockets in the corners (which provide our pick with extra protection), and it only comes in black. Mous’s Limitless 3.0 is a too-thick case with a leather, wood, or carbon fiber back panel and inset magnets for use with the company's mounts and card wallets. We don’t like that the protective lip is only raised around the corners and top and bottom edges, but dips down along the sides to be level with the screen, and we also think the case is pretty expensive for what you’re getting. The Contour is a little slimmer and lacks the magnets, but we think Apple’s full Leather Case looks nicer than the rubber-and-leather combo. We like the environmental appeal of Nimble’s Bottle Case, which is made from recycled plastic bottles, but the buttons are nearly flush with the edges of the case, making it difficult to find them by feel and substantially dampening the clicky feeling. LeatherNomad’s Rugged Case and Active Rugged Case both offer 6-foot drop protection, with the latter more resistant to water. But we far prefer the thinner all-leather design of Apple’s cases to their rubber-and-leather combo. Ekster’s iPhone 11 Pro Case is only available, for, well, the iPhone 11 Pro. It’s similar to Apple’s Leather Case, except it leaves the volume and power buttons exposed rather than trying to cover them at all. The case does offer a wallet pocket on the back, plus space for a Nano SIM and SIM ejector inside the case; we worry the latter might scratch the iPhone’s glass body. WalletSmartish’s Wallet Slayer Vol. 2, like the Vol. 1, is also built on the design of the Gripmunk, but we prefer the Vol. 1’s all-TPU design to this model’s more expensive pocket setup. Mujjo’s Full Leather Wallet Case is the same as the Full Leather Case we like for the iPhone 11, just with an extra piece of leather sewn onto the back to hold cards. You’ll be able to hold the advertised two to three cards only once you’ve broken that pocket in, however, and removing the cards before that point is very difficult. If you want a leather case that’s also a wallet, it’s your best option right now. More protectiveSpeck’s Presidio Grip is very similar to the Presidio Pro, but in our experience the rubber ribs have tended to pull off from the case’s body over time. Although Incipio’s Aerolite is a good alternative to the Presidio Pro, we think the design is just a bit less refined. If you prefer the look, we recommend it. Tech21’s Pure Tint comes in only one color and has a slightly lower drop-protection rating than competing cases. The check pattern on the back of Tech21’s Evo Check isn’t for everyone, but if you like the look, this case is a good option. Gear4’s Battersea is quite chunky but rated to withstand 16-foot drops. The Gear4 Hampton and Holborn are both rated for 13 feet, but we don’t think they look as nice as the Presidio Pro, and the rubber around the latter’s Lightning port felt like it might tear. Pelican’s Mogul is available only for the iPhone 11 Pro Max, and it has one long volume button cover instead of two distinct pieces. The Pelican Traveler has a much more distinct look, with a faux-leather exterior and stitching around the edges that we find kind of ugly, but it might appeal to certain sensibilities. Urban Armor Gear’s Monarch is a little larger than other protective cases due to its extended corners, and we don’t think the looks will suit every taste. But the leather is quite nice, and when we handled the case, it felt like it would stand up to quite a bit of abuse. Smartish’s Gripzilla is a beefed-up version of the Gripmunk that should stand up to more damage. The back is hard plastic instead of TPU, and the borders are exaggerated so that your fingers nestle into the more pronounced ridges and the extended corners add some more drop protection. We find it just a bit too bulky and less refined than the Gripmunk or the Speck Presidio Pro, but if you’re searching for a more affordable, more protective case, it’s worth a look. Urban Armor Gear’s Civilian Series is the company’s most attractive case to date. While it still fits the “rugged, military-grade” aesthetic, the flatter back will likely appeal to most people than the more distinctive, over-engineered design we’ve previously seen from the company. We still prefer the Presidio Pro, but recommend this case to anyone that likes the looks of it. FolioApple’s Leather Folio is an elegant premium option, but we don’t think it’s worth the high price; you’re essentially paying $80 over the cost of the Leather Case for the card-holding cover. It’s not available for the iPhone 11. Available only for the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max, Moshi’s Overture is a thicker vegan-leather folio with a magnetically attached removable case. It’s nice to have the option not to carry the whole folio when you just want the phone, but the added bulk may not be worth it. Gear4’s Oxford Eco holds only two cards, and its mechanical latch takes a little more pressure to open than we’d like. The cover of the Nomad Rugged Folio doesn’t sit flat, though it may break in over time. Manipulating the volume is more difficult because the lid’s attachment point sits right behind the volume buttons and blocks your finger’s access a bit. Snakehive’s Leather Case is a fine leather folio. The cover is nubuck (a similar texture to suede, but the outside of the hide rather than the inside), with smooth leather inside, and the phone fits into a permanently-attached, lipless rubber case. There are three credit card slots and a long pocket inside the front cover and a magnetic latch that holds the whole thing shut. It’s a bit thicker than we’d like, and we’re a little concerned about how the edges might wear, but the price is appealing for the materials. TransparentAlthough Incipio’s NGP Pure is a great alternative to the Liquid Crystal, it has more obvious branding across the back. Spigen’s Ultra Hybrid and Ultra Hybrid S (the same case, with a built-in kickstand) each combine a TPU bumper with a polycarbonate plastic back that shows more fingerprints than the Liquid Crystal does. The Griffin Survivor Clear and the Tech21 Pure Clear are available only with a frosted border rather than a totally transparent design. We think that if you’re going to choose a clear case, you should get one that’s clear all the way around. Gear4’s Crystal Palace comes in some nice translucent neon colors in addition to clear, but it’s rather expensive. EasyAcc’s Clear Case doesn’t have a tall enough protective lip, but it does come with a glass screen protector. ThinTotallee’s Thin Case and Peel’s Ultra Thin both have the same dimensions as the Caudabe Veil, and they’re identical to one another, with a smoother finish that may be more slippery in your hands. Both come with a two-year warranty, in contrast to Caudabe’s one-year plan for the Veil, but they cost more. BatteryShuttercase’s Zencase for iPhone 11 is the best battery case not made by Apple, and it’s quite a bit cheaper, too. Apple controls which accessories can use official Lightning connectors, so Zencase got around this limitation by making the case itself a small Qi charger (it can’t accept a Qi charge in, though). This also has the benefit of leaving the Lightning port open so you can plug in wired headphones. The iPhone 11 Zencase delivered a 75 percent charge, about the same as the Smart Battery Case’s 73 percent. For the iPhone 11 Pro Max, it was 50 percent, compared with 59 percent. The iPhone 11 Pro charge levels were the most different, with the Zencase averaging 53 percent, compared with the Smart Battery Case’s 76 percent. We think the camera button, faster charging, software integration, and Qi charging input make the Smart Battery Case worth the extra money, but if you’re willing to forgo those features, the Zencase will work well for you. About your guideNick Guy is a former senior staff writer covering Apple and accessories at Wirecutter. He has been reviewing iPhones, iPads, and related tech since 2011—and stopped counting after he tested his 1,000th case. It’s impossible for him not to mentally catalog any case he sees. He once had the bright idea to build and burn down a room to test fireproof safes. Further reading
Can I use an iPhone 11 Pro case on an iPhone 11?To reiterate: In most instances, no, an iPhone case will not fit a different model of iPhone.
