Raised front lip: As Apple’s case guidelines (PDF) explain, “xposed glass on the Apple device must not come within 1 mm of a flat surface, such as a table or floor, in any orientation when the case is attached.” This lip around the edges of the phone’s display helps prevent cracked screens-one of the biggest worries with any smartphone-but it also helps to keep the screen from getting scratched if you place the phone screen-down.On the other hand, we didn’t consider cases with a circular opening to expose the Apple logo on the back of the phone because they offer less overall protection with no real benefit. We also like cases that don’t leave the top or bottom edge of the phone exposed, but that isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker. The best provide button protection with tactility that mimics-or in some instances even enhances-the way the buttons feel on a bare iPhone. Full coverage: As a general rule, the more of the phone that a case protects, the better we prefer cases that protect everything but the phone’s screen.(Even a heavy-duty case can’t guarantee that your phone will survive every scenario intact-for example, a direct hit to the screen will still do damage.) The obvious exception here is superthin cases, which purposely compromise some drop protection in favor of a thinner profile. 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.
Iphone 11pro purple update#
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.
