Phone cases that fit your model and the way you use it
A phone case only protects properly if it is made for your exact model, since camera cutouts and button positions differ even between an iPhone 17 Pro and a 17 Pro Max, or a Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26 Ultra. Most cases are slim back covers in clear plastic, silicone or TPU from Spigen, Tech-Protect, Nillkin, XDcase, Apple and Samsung, alongside wallet flip cases with card slots.
Clear cases show off the phone's colour, silicone adds grip, and rugged designs with raised edges give more protection against drops onto hard floors. If you use a MagSafe charger or wallet, choose a case with built-in MagSafe magnets. You will also find cases for AirPods, crossbody phone straps and a few car mounts.
Frequently asked questions
Do phone cases affect wireless charging?
Most slim cases made of plastic, silicone or TPU let wireless charging work normally. Very thick rugged cases, metal plates for magnetic mounts and cards stored behind the phone can weaken or block charging, and cards with magnetic stripes can be damaged. On an iPhone with MagSafe, a case with MagSafe magnets keeps chargers and accessories aligned and firmly attached.
What is the difference between a back cover and a wallet flip case?
A back cover protects the back, sides and corners while keeping the phone slim and the screen free. A wallet flip case adds a front cover that closes over the screen and usually holds a few cards, so it protects the display in a bag or pocket but adds bulk. Choose a flip case if you want to carry less; choose a back cover for quick access and a slimmer feel.
Do clear phone cases turn yellow?
Clear cases made from TPU can gradually yellow with UV light, heat and skin oils, while harder polycarbonate backs tend to stay clear for longer. Many brands now use anti-yellowing treatments that slow the process down. Cleaning the case regularly with mild soapy water also helps it stay clear.
