2024's top iPhone 14 covers

Casetify makes some of the best cases on the market and has a huge pool of collaborations ready to meet your every nerdy need (anime, superheroes, TV shows, you name it, Casetify likely has a collaboration with it). Sadly, this does come at a price, as while regular designs might hover around the $50 mark, if you want something branded or including MagSafe wireless charging compatibility, then the price creeps closer to $80, which might be where you have to draw the line, as we admit you’re heading into some costly territory.

However, Casetify makes solid and reliable cases, and some of the collaborations are out of this world, and that is why some can justify the cost of such a case. The company has amazing designs featuring Neon Genesis Evangelion, Barbie, Dragon Ball, Street Fighter, Mr. Men, and plenty more. You’re sure to find a design you love somewhere in that vast library, and unlike some, they actually keep their design on the case over time.

Now, the actual protection isn’t the best, though you can buy some bulkier cases if you’re worried about scratching your phone. But if you’re an outdoors person and you expect to be dropping your phone a lot, then Casetify may not be the company for you. Instead, Casetify offers gorgeous cases with brilliant designs, moderate protection, and a fairly premium price. Essentially, this is the company to consider if you want to express yourself with your case.

Look, we know many people want a nice-looking case, but some of you likely have a rough and ready job that can put your phone in jeopardy. Enter Otterbox. This company has a series of military-tested cases, such as the Defender Pro, offering brilliant but bulky solutions that really do protect your device.

You’re definitely trading fashion for function here, as a lot of the cases are fairly… bland, but the cases offer actual protection from drops, scrapes, and most other incidents that your phone might encounter, and most of the ranges come in several different colors. If you also wear a uniform but need your phone available, cases like the Defender Pro also feature a handy belt clip that can double as a phone stand.

For those of you who want to express yourself through your case, Otterbox does offer various colors and it even has a wide variety of more specific cases and protectors if you have specific needs. You can also purchase waterproof cases, screen protectors, and special folio cases that house your cards while wrapping around the device. Plus, most of Otterbox’s cases are made out of 50% recycled materials, which is always a bonus.

If you want to protect your phone and your savings, then Rhinoshield is a good mid-range company that offers good protection with few frills. The company has a wide variety of cases that offer different levels of care. The Solidsuit is a sturdy case that wraps around, while the Clear (clearly) lets you show off your device.

Much like Casetify, Rhinoshield also offers a massive variety of designs to decorate your case, with collaborations featuring Disney Pride, Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, Dragon Ball, The Powerpuff Girls, Game of Thrones, and even Rick and Morty. Plus, you can customize most phones with extra protection options or MagSafe wireless charging compatibility.

Naturally, the amount of protection that you get depends on the model that you choose. However, they all offer a good base layer of protection so you can rest easy.

Fancy something minimalist? The Apple suite of cases is here to do the job, and not much else. While they might not be the most flashy, Apple makes cases of sturdy materials that are made to last. Plus, few cases will fit your phone as naturally or snugly as one from the company itself.

Apple also has a wide variety of color options, almost all of them featuring MagSafe charging, and that all-important Apple logo, which does admittedly add a somewhat professional appearance to your new case. If you prefer your phone to be a little more… muted, then these understated but gorgeous cases could offer the features and design you need. Apple even makes cases that perfectly match every color of iPhone, so you can get the perfect case for your device.

However, we must admit, if you want something to express yourself or would like an anime collaboration case, Apple’s line of cases won’t meet your need.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been using smartphones for well over a decade, and have built up something of a case graveyard that is a constant source of shame. So, if you want to find a new case for your device that doesn’t hurt the planet, Wave Case is the perfect answer.

Wave Case isn’t just about helping the planet either, it makes each case out of the biodegradable material wheat straw, and they’re also subject to military-grade testing up to MIL-STD 810 (about 26 drops). Wave Case even offers carbon-neutral shipping and makes its packaging out of recycled materials. What’s more, profits support Surfers Against Sewage and their mission to free British oceans of pollution.

Alright, there’s a lot of tree-hugging information in there, but it’s also important to mention that Wave Case features some brilliant designs, and most hover around the £30 mark. With lush cases featuring sea creatures and ocean life, as well as some solid color choices for the professionals amongst us, you can find exactly the right case for you. They even make AirPod and AppleTag cases!

MagSafe cases are notoriously pricey (we can understand why, in all honesty), but if you’re looking for something that won’t break the bank, then the Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit has got your back. Boasting air cushion tech and just the right amount of added depth to give you protection from light drops without any extra bulk, it’s a nice, simple option with a very reasonable price tag.

Mind you, if you go for this case you have to accept that it doesn’t offer the same level of protection that some of the more armored options do, and it comes in a pretty limited range of designs – predominantly clear with a few different accent colors. And, despite claiming to boast anti-yellowing technology, we all know clear cases don’t stay clear for long. However, you’ll be hard-pressed to find another MagSafe compatible case for such a low price.

If you’re after a phone case that doubles up as a wallet, then the Tucch flip case is for you. It holds four bank cards and features RFID-blocking technology to protect you against unauthorized card scans. It also has a handy wrist strap and comes in more than 20 colors, so it’s both stylish and practical.

It also has a kickstand for hands-free viewing of your favorite YouTube videos or streaming services and a magnetic clasp to keep the wallet closed. The only downside is that it doesn’t support MagSafe charging, so you need to remove your device from the case to charge it.
