Our Favorite iPhone Brand
Mous Limitless 6.0 iPhone Case
Pros
Will withstand most any drop
Tons of variety when it comes to secondary material; leather, wood, etc.
Cons
Not the most stylish on the list
It was nearly impossible for me to pick just one Mous case. This brand makes reliably sturdy cases that come in, even within styles, a vast array of different materials and colors. This Limitless 6.0 comes in many varieties from bamboo to leather backed, so you’re sure to find one that fits your style.
Available For: All iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 models
Materials
Polycarbonate, Various
Best Slim iPhone Case
Peel Super Thin iPhone Case
Pros
Doesn’t add any bulk to your phone
Available for older iPhones
Cons
Not the most durable case, but it will take the bullet for your phone
Peel makes the ultimate barely-there case. It’s cheap, ubiquitous (it’s been around for years and you can get it for literally any phone) and it gives your iPhone a sleeker, de-badged look. There are plenty of color options too. And although the case itself is prone to cracking on heavy drops, it’s cheap and easily replaceable.
Available For: Every model since iPhone X
Material
Polypropylene (Plastic)

Best Case with Strap
MAGEASY Roam M Case with Crossbody Strap
Pros
Includes a crossbody strap
Reasonably rugged and shock absorbing
Cons
Clear is not our favorite vibe
Listen, I don’t love a crossbody phone strap. But there’s so many folks that can’t live without them. If you’re prone to always have your phone out and in your hand, it’s probably the more secure route to go. This one from MAGEASY is focused on security. It’s super durable, super reasonably priced, and it comes with a free strap.
Available For: All iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 models
Material
Thermoplastic Polyurethane
