If you want to keep trips to the phone repair shop to minimum, a sturdy case is essential.
We all know iPhones don’t come cheap. Apple’s most recent model, the iPhone 11, ranges from $1,199 for the most basic device and can cost all the way up to $2499 for the 512GB iPhone Pro Max. Given these eye-watering figures, you want to make sure your hefty investment lasts and doesn’t fall prey to an accidental drop.
When it comes to your choice of protective case, you’ve got a fair few to choose from. Whatever your priority – be it protection, price, clever design or aesthetics – here are some options for iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro cases.
1. CLASSIC CASES
Apple
Fits: iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max
Sometimes simple is best. While the case protects your iPhone against scratches and minor drops, it feels like a second skin for your phone and doesn’t weigh down your device or detract from its sleek design. You can pick between an Italian leather finish, a silky soft-touch silicone or a versatile and flexible TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) material too.
