Cases for the Apple iPhone 12 series range widely in price, style, color, and functionality – with cases for protection from the elements, basic skins for scratch protection, MagSafe-compatible cases, custom case options, and much more. I’ve spent time with a number of cases from at least eight makers. Also: Best iPhone models to buy in 2021 For the last few weeks, I had my first ever opportunity to try out Apple-branded cases with full support for MagSafe, and I have to say I’ll definitely consider Apple cases in the future, as they are extremely well made and have all the minor details optimized for users. Make sure to check out Jason Cipriani’s MagSafe accessory article for more than just cases. The fit and finish are perfect with tactile buttons, optimized openings, and soft microfiber lining inside to protect your iPhone from scratches. MagSafe compatibility is great, especially with the minimalist Leather Wallet accessory. The Apple Silicone case is priced at $49, with the Leather case just $10 more at $59. The Leather Sleeve case is pricey at $129, but it does incorporate a card slot and leather strap to carry the iPhone with you. We tested out the Refract, Stack, and Avenue cases. The cases range in price from $29.95 to $44.95. Drop protection is provided at varying levels, but the focus of these cases is primarily on the ability to customize it to your preferences. Cases range in price from $40 to $85, depending on the size of your iPhone and the selected style of the case. ESR cases range in price from $16.99 to $35.99 and are available in an assortment of colors and styles. Bundles with screen protectors are available, as well as two models with MagSafe support. The Organicore model is compostable so buying the case isn’t creating a source of trash for the future. The Stashback provides a card slot so your iPhone can be your wallet. The rugged Survivor models help protect your iPhone from the elements. The Rugged Case is available for $49.95, in Black, Natural, and Rustic Brown. The Rugged Folio has three card slots and a cash slot on the inside flap of this case with a rated capacity for six cards. It’s priced at $69.95, but it constructed extremely well with high-quality materials. Speck incorporates its Microban technology so that the cases deliver up to 99% reduction in bacteria growth. Enhanced grip is a staple of Speck cases, too, so if you want some security in holding your iPhone 12, then consider one of its case options. Recently, Totallee added some limited edition color options; Carbon Fiber, Pearl White, Dot Matrix, Clear Hard, and Oh So Peachy. These new colors are available for $45.
