It has been our favorite case for every iPhone model since the iPhone 7, and although it isn’t particularly flashy, it is dependable. The case is flexible enough to allow for an easy installation, but it won’t stretch out or pull off over time. It also offers finger grooves on the edges that help improve grip, plus excellent shock absorption.\nThe Gripmunk case covers the iPhone’s buttons yet doesn’t dampen their clickiness. The iPhone 17 version has a concave cutout for the model’s Camera Control button (there’s also a\nversion with an integrated cover\nfor Camera Control), which makes presses and swipes feel natural. Though every accident is different, we’ve dropped iPhones covered by this case dozens of times and never damaged their bodies. You’re unlikely to find a case of this quality at a lower price.\nFlaws but not dealbreakers\nVisually, the Smartish Gripmunk isn’t the most exciting case out there, but Amazon offers a “secret menu” with a handful of patterns you can have printed on the back of the case; another alternative is to upload your own images or text on the\nSmartish website\nfor more personalization. Note that the Gripmunk doesn’t protect against every impact—no case truly can—but if you want to be extra safe, check out our\nprotective picks for every iPhone model\n.\nBest leather cases: Mujjo Full Leather Case and Nomad Modern Leather Case\nMujjo Full Leather Case\n \nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\nMujjo Full Leather Case for\niPhone 17\n,\n17 Pro\n,\n17 Pro Max\nMujjo Full Leather Case for\niPhone Air\nMujjo Full Leather Case for\niPhone 16\n,\n16 Pro\n,\n16 Pro Max\nMujjo Full Leather Case for\niPhone 15 Plus\n,\n15 Pro\nMujjo Full Leather Case for\niPhone 14\n,\n14 Plus\n,\n14 Pro\n,\n14 Pro Max\nMujjo Full Leather Case for\niPhone 13\nBecause Apple doesn’t make leather cases anymore, we recommend the\nMujjo Full Leather Case\n; it isn’t quite as good as Apple’s Leather Case, but it is the best one you can find for the iPhone 17, 16, and 15. The Mujjo case’s design is extremely similar to that of the Apple case, with slightly rough but supple leather on the outside, microfiber on the inside, and an open bottom edge. It also has a matte finish that feels just as nice. The iPhone 17 version of the case has an integrated Camera Control button, while the iPhone 16 case has a slightly dipped cutout.\nFlaws but not dealbreakers\nThe leather can wear unevenly with time and heavy use or become discolored and scuffed, and a MagSafe charging puck can leave an imprint. Still, it’s a great case with a slim and understated look.\nNomad Modern Leather Case\n \nNomad\nMujjo doesn’t make an iPhone 16 Plus version of its case, which is strange, but the\nNomad Modern Leather Case\nis a great option for 16 Plus owners (although it’s not full leather). The Nomad case has a microfiber lining and consists of leather and rubber, which provides a sturdier grip and will better protect the iPhone’s corners over time. The case has a hard plastic camera bumper to protect your iPhone’s camera lenses from drops and clicky aluminum buttons for the Action, Power, and Volume controls. The case also offers a cutout for the Camera Control button, which can be easily reached for long and half-presses.\nFlaws but not dealbreakers\nLeather can wear unevenly with time and heavy use. Similar to other full-leather cases, Nomad’s rear leather portion will get worn and develop a patina over time, for good or bad. We plan to test it in the long term to see how the leather holds up, but colorful leather can become discolored and scuffed, and a MagSafe charging puck can leave an imprint. There are also concerns about the durability of the Camera Control cutout over time as it uses a thin piece of plastic between the side rails and the screen.\nBest wallet case for all iPhones: Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1\n \nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\nSmartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for\niPhone 17\n,\n17 Pro\n,\n17 Pro Max\nSmartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for\niPhone Air\nSmartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for\niPhone 16\n,\n16 Plus\n,\n16 Pro\n,\n16 Pro Max\n,\n16e\nSmartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for\niPhone 15\n,\n15 Plus\n,\n15 Pro\n,\n15 Pro Max\nSmartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for\niPhone 14\n,\n14 Plus\n,\n14 Pro\n,\n14 Pro Max\nSmartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for\niPhone 13\n,\n13 mini\n,\n13 Pro\n,\n13 Pro Max\nAnyone looking to combine their wallet with their iPhone should consider the\nSmartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1\ncase. It does a great job of keeping your cards (up to three) protected and in place, and it can also accommodate some cash. The case’s molded plastic design fits well in the hand, and you don’t have to worry about it deforming over time—the Wallet Slayer maintains its shape and thickness no matter how full (or empty) it is. Like other Smartish cases, this case covers all of the phone’s buttons except the easy-to-reach cutouts for the USB-C port and Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 and 17 lineup.\nFlaws but not dealbreakers\nThe Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 is certainly as bulky as you might expect a wallet case to be, but we don’t think it feels overly thick. People with tighter pockets may want to consider\nsomething slimmer\n; this case is also too thick to work with most Qi wireless chargers and MagSafe chargers.\nBest clear case for all iPhones: Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit\n \nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\nSpigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for\niPhone 17\n,\n17 Pro\n,\n17 Pro Max\nSpigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for\niPhone Air\nSpigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for\niPhone 16\n,\n16 Plus\n,\n16 Pro\n,\n16 Pro Max\nSpigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for\niPhone 15\n,\n15 Plus\n,\n15 Pro\n,\n15 Pro Max\nSpigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for\niPhone 14\n,\n14 Pro\n,\n14 Pro Max\nSpigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for\niPhone 13\n,\n13 mini\n,\n13 Pro\n,\n13 Pro Max\nIf you want a clear case to showcase your iPhone’s original color and design while adding some protection, we recommend the\nSpigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit\ncase. It has a transparent hard-plastic back, TPU borders, and air pockets for shock absorption. The buttons are covered too, and they offer a tactile feel. The Camera Control button is also covered, but with a thinner plastic layer, so it remains easy to access and registers all the necessary gestures. A raised lip protects the display and camera. The MagSafe ring on the back offers a strong hold when you’re attaching accessories.\nThe Spigen Ultra Hybrid also comes in other variations, including clear cases with different MagSafe-ring colors such as graphite and gold, and Spigen has frosted versions in black or white.\nFlaws but not dealbreakers\nEvery clear case we’ve tested in the past has been prone to yellowing and collecting grime over time. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid comes with a blue resin coating for anti-yellowing, and we plan to test it long-term to see if that helps to counter the discoloration. That said, we expect that some yellowing is inevitable.\nThe protective case we recommend: Smartish Gripzilla\n \nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\nSmartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for\niPhone 17\n,\n17 Pro\n,\n17 Pro Max\nSmartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for\niPhone Air\nSmartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for\niPhone 16\n,\n16 Plus\n,\n16 Pro\n,\n16 Pro Max\n,\n16e\nSmartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for\niPhone 15\n,\n15 Plus\n,\n15 Pro\n,\n15 Pro Max\nSmartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for\niPhone 14\n,\n14 Plus\n,\n14 Pro\n,\n14 Pro Max\nSmartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for\niPhone 13\n,\n13 Pro\n,\n13 Pro Max\nIf you need as much protection as possible but don’t want to pay too much for it, the\nSmartish Gripzilla with MagSafe\nis an excellent pick for the iPhone 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17.\nThe Gripzilla is a slightly taller and thicker version of the Smartish Gripmunk, adding 0.2 inch in height and 0.1 inch in thickness compared with the Gripmunk. The Gripzilla also adds a 1 mm lip to guard the camera bump (or the Pro and Pro Max’s camera plateau) and a 1.5 mm lip to protect the screen from drops. Although the Gripzilla is marginally thicker, it still supports MagSafe charging and protects your action, volume, power, and Camera Control buttons. It has recessed finger ridges on both sides of the case to provide a secure grip for those who are prone to dropping their devices, and in our experience it survived several drop tests from a 6-foot height without any visible damage.\nFlaws but not dealbreakers\nThe Gripzilla’s larger corners give it a little more bulk, a typical trade-off with a protective case. The difference is really noticeable only when you’re holding a Gripmunk or similar slimmer case in one hand and a Gripzilla in the other, but both can slide comfortably into a pocket or purse.\nThe thinnest case we recommend: Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case\n \nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\nTotallee Scarf Super Thin Case for\niPhone 17\n,\n17 Pro\n,\n17 Pro Max\nTotallee Scarf Super Thin Case for\niPhone Air\nTotallee Scarf Super Thin Case for\niPhone 16\n,\n16 Plus\n,\n16 Pro\n,\n16 Pro Max\n,\n16e\nTotallee Scarf Super Thin Case for\niPhone 15\n,\n15 Plus\n,\n15 Pro\n,\n15 Pro Max\nTotallee Scarf Super Thin Case for\niPhone 14\n,\n14 Plus\n,\n14 Pro\n,\n14 Pro Max\nTotallee Scarf Super Thin Case for\niPhone 13\n,\n13 mini\n,\n13 Pro\n,\n13 Pro Max\nIf you’re seeking the thinnest case you can slap on your iPhone 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17, we recommend the\nTotallee Scarf Super Thin Case\n. It lives up to its name with a super-thin design that’s only half a millimeter thick, and it weighs less than 1 ounce. Super-thin cases aren’t for everyone, but they can be ideal for people who want to reduce the damage to an iPhone in case of drops without adding too much bulk.\nAlthough the protection is minimal here, the Totallee Scarf case offers a bump to guard your camera lenses, covers your phone’s buttons, and provides accessible cutouts for the USB-C port and the Camera Control button. It also supports MagSafe for wireless charging and attaching accessories.\nFlaws but not dealbreakers\nThe Scarf case doesn’t provide the best grip and can’t protect your phone much against drops. It also doesn’t handle scratches well — they can be noticeable in good lighting, an issue we’ve encountered with other super-thin cases as well. Note too that the iPhone 16e version doesn’t come with a built-in magnet, so it can’t work with MagSafe accessories.\nBest accessory-friendly case: Peak Design Everyday Case\n \nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\nPeak Design Everyday Case for\niPhone 17\n,\n17 Pro\n,\n17 Pro Max\nPeak Design Everyday Case for\niPhone Air\nPeak Design Everyday Case for\niPhone 16\n,\n16 Plus\n,\n16 Pro\n,\n16 Pro Max\nPeak Design Everyday Case for\niPhone 15\n,\n15 Plus\n,\n15 Pro\n,\n15 Pro Max\nPeak Design Everyday Case for\niPhone 14\n,\n14 Plus\n,\n14 Pro\n,\n14 Pro Max\nPeak Design Everyday Case for\niPhone 13\n,\n13 mini\n,\n13 Pro\n,\n13 Pro Max\nIf you want to swap accessories on the fly (or you think you might want to),\nPeak Design’s Everyday Case\nis a great option. It has a TPU border with small ridges along the inner edge that should help absorb damage from drops, a MagSafe-compatible magnet that works with all the MagSafe accessories we tested it with, and a mounting point on the back that securely grips all accessories in place. Some of these attachments include mounts for your\ncar\n,\nmotorcycle\n, and\nbike\n, as well as a\ntripod mounting system\nand a\nwallet\n. The connection is strong enough that we have zero concerns about anything unintentionally falling out of place, and the case itself isn’t even noticeably thicker than our\nbasic case pick\n.\nFlaws but not dealbreakers\nThe Everyday Case is made of vegan leather, which doesn’t feel as luxurious as the real leather on the Mujjo Full Leather Case. We haven’t experienced any issues with scratches or scuffs on this case, but vegan leather is typically not as durable as animal-based leather. We’ll continue to test this case to see how it holds up over a long period.\nThis article was edited by Arthur Gies and Caitlin McGarry.","attrs_markdown":"- Home & Garden\n  \n  - Vacuums, Cleaning, & Laundry\n    -

It has been our favorite case for every iPhone model since the iPhone 7, and although it isn’t particularly flashy, it is dependable. The case is flexible enough to allow for an easy installation, but it won’t stretch out or pull off over time. It also offers finger grooves on the edges that help improve grip, plus excellent shock absorption.\n\nThe Gripmunk case covers the iPhone’s buttons yet doesn’t dampen their clickiness. The iPhone 17 version has a concave cutout for the model’s Camera Control button (there’s also a [version with an integrated cover](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76479\/229498\/4\/237668\/?merchant=Smartish) for Camera Control), which makes presses and swipes feel natural. Though every accident is different, we’ve dropped iPhones covered by this case dozens of times and never damaged their bodies. You’re unlikely to find a case of this quality at a lower price.\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nVisually, the Smartish Gripmunk isn’t the most exciting case out there, but Amazon offers a “secret menu” with a handful of patterns you can have printed on the back of the case; another alternative is to upload your own images or text on the [Smartish website](https:\/\/smartish.com\/pages\/designstudio) for more personalization. Note that the Gripmunk doesn’t protect against every impact—no case truly can—but if you want to be extra safe, check out our [protective picks for every iPhone model](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/reviews\/best-iphone-cases\/#protective-cases-we-recommend-smartish-gripzilla-and-speck-presidio-pro).\n\n## Best leather cases: Mujjo Full Leather Case and Nomad Modern Leather Case\n### Mujjo Full Leather Case\n![The Mujjo Full Leather Case, our pick for best iPhone case made of leather, on an iPhone 17.](https:\/\/cdn.thewirecutter.com\/wp-content\/media\/2025\/10\/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9470.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)\n\nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\n\n- Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 17](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75693\/227645\/4\/237330\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75726\/227907\/4\/237331\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75727\/227908\/4\/237332\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone Air](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75728\/227909\/4\/237333\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 16](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65024\/213684\/4\/196386\/?merchant=Nordstrom), [16 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65025\/207018\/4\/196388\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65026\/207019\/4\/196389\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 15 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59057\/197669\/4\/177992\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59058\/197670\/4\/237334\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 14](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52905\/229495\/4\/237335\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59057\/197669\/4\/177992\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76432\/229392\/4\/237337\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76433\/229393\/4\/237338\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 13](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47683\/229496\/4\/237339\/?merchant=Mujjo)\n\nBecause Apple doesn’t make leather cases anymore, we recommend the [Mujjo Full Leather Case](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75693\/227645\/4\/237330\/?merchant=Amazon); it isn’t quite as good as Apple’s Leather Case, but it is the best one you can find for the iPhone 17, 16, and 15. The Mujjo case’s design is extremely similar to that of the Apple case, with slightly rough but supple leather on the outside, microfiber on the inside, and an open bottom edge. It also has a matte finish that feels just as nice. The iPhone 17 version of the case has an integrated Camera Control button, while the iPhone 16 case has a slightly dipped cutout.\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nThe leather can wear unevenly with time and heavy use or become discolored and scuffed, and a MagSafe charging puck can leave an imprint. Still, it’s a great case with a slim and understated look.\n\n### Nomad Modern Leather Case\n![A brown leather Nomad Full Leather iPhone case.](https:\/\/cdn.thewirecutter.com\/wp-content\/media\/2024\/10\/iphone-case-2048px-3456.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)\n\nNomad\n\nMujjo doesn’t make an iPhone 16 Plus version of its case, which is strange, but the [Nomad Modern Leather Case](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65030\/206896\/4\/196441\/?merchant=Nomad) is a great option for 16 Plus owners (although it’s not full leather). The Nomad case has a microfiber lining and consists of leather and rubber, which provides a sturdier grip and will better protect the iPhone’s corners over time. The case has a hard plastic camera bumper to protect your iPhone’s camera lenses from drops and clicky aluminum buttons for the Action, Power, and Volume controls. The case also offers a cutout for the Camera Control button, which can be easily reached for long and half-presses.\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nLeather can wear unevenly with time and heavy use. Similar to other full-leather cases, Nomad’s rear leather portion will get worn and develop a patina over time, for good or bad. We plan to test it in the long term to see how the leather holds up, but colorful leather can become discolored and scuffed, and a MagSafe charging puck can leave an imprint. There are also concerns about the durability of the Camera Control cutout over time as it uses a thin piece of plastic between the side rails and the screen.\n\n## Best wallet case for all iPhones: Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1\n![The Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1, our pick for best iPhone case that doubles as a wallet, on an iPhone 17.](https:\/\/cdn.thewirecutter.com\/wp-content\/media\/2025\/10\/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9466.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)\n\nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\n\n- Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 17](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75694\/227646\/4\/237341\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75729\/227729\/4\/237342\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75730\/227730\/4\/237343\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone Air](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75731\/227912\/4\/237344\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 16](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65031\/207020\/4\/196443\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65032\/207021\/4\/196444\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65033\/207022\/4\/196445\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65034\/207023\/4\/196446\/?merchant=Amazon), [16e](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/73192\/222762\/4\/225699\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 15](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59061\/196732\/4\/177995\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59064\/196735\/4\/177996\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59065\/196736\/4\/177997\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59066\/196737\/4\/177998\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 14](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52866\/185185\/4\/152684\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52867\/185080\/4\/152685\/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52868\/185081\/4\/152686\/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52869\/185082\/4\/152687\/?merchant=Smartish)\n- Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 13](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47078\/174898\/4\/136911\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 mini](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47079\/174899\/4\/136912\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47080\/174900\/4\/136913\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47081\/174901\/4\/136914\/?merchant=Amazon)\n\nAnyone looking to combine their wallet with their iPhone should consider the [Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65031\/207020\/4\/196443\/?merchant=Amazon) case. It does a great job of keeping your cards (up to three) protected and in place, and it can also accommodate some cash. The case’s molded plastic design fits well in the hand, and you don’t have to worry about it deforming over time—the Wallet Slayer maintains its shape and thickness no matter how full (or empty) it is. Like other Smartish cases, this case covers all of the phone’s buttons except the easy-to-reach cutouts for the USB-C port and Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 and 17 lineup.\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nThe Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 is certainly as bulky as you might expect a wallet case to be, but we don’t think it feels overly thick.

It has a transparent hard-plastic back, TPU borders, and air pockets for shock absorption. The buttons are covered too, and they offer a tactile feel. The Camera Control button is also covered, but with a thinner plastic layer, so it remains easy to access and registers all the necessary gestures. A raised lip protects the display and camera. The MagSafe ring on the back offers a strong hold when you’re attaching accessories.\n\nThe Spigen Ultra Hybrid also comes in other variations, including clear cases with different MagSafe-ring colors such as graphite and gold, and Spigen has frosted versions in black or white.\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nEvery clear case we’ve tested in the past has been prone to yellowing and collecting grime over time. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid comes with a blue resin coating for anti-yellowing, and we plan to test it long-term to see if that helps to counter the discoloration. That said, we expect that some yellowing is inevitable.\n\n## The protective case we recommend: Smartish Gripzilla\n![The Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe, our pick for best iPhone case with added protection, on an iPhone 17.](https:\/\/cdn.thewirecutter.com\/wp-content\/media\/2025\/10\/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9467.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)\n\nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\n\n- Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 17](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75695\/227654\/4\/237385\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75732\/227732\/4\/237387\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75733\/227733\/4\/237389\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone Air](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75734\/227734\/4\/237390\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 16](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65041\/207027\/4\/196479\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65042\/207028\/4\/196480\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65043\/207029\/4\/196481\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65044\/207030\/4\/196482\/?merchant=Amazon), [16e](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/73193\/222763\/4\/225704\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 15](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59067\/196738\/4\/178007\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59068\/196739\/4\/178008\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59069\/196740\/4\/178009\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59070\/196741\/4\/178010\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 14](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52871\/185186\/4\/152704\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52872\/185085\/4\/152705\/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52873\/185086\/4\/152706\/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52874\/185087\/4\/152707\/?merchant=Smartish)\n- Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 13](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47082\/174902\/4\/136919\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47084\/174904\/4\/136921\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47091\/174911\/4\/136923\/?merchant=Amazon)\n\nIf you need as much protection as possible but don’t want to pay too much for it, the [Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75695\/227654\/4\/237385\/?merchant=Amazon) is an excellent pick for the iPhone 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17.\n\nThe Gripzilla is a slightly taller and thicker version of the Smartish Gripmunk, adding 0.2 inch in height and 0.1 inch in thickness compared with the Gripmunk. The Gripzilla also adds a 1 mm lip to guard the camera bump (or the Pro and Pro Max’s camera plateau) and a 1.5 mm lip to protect the screen from drops. Although the Gripzilla is marginally thicker, it still supports MagSafe charging and protects your action, volume, power, and Camera Control buttons. It has recessed finger ridges on both sides of the case to provide a secure grip for those who are prone to dropping their devices, and in our experience it survived several drop tests from a 6-foot height without any visible damage.\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nThe Gripzilla’s larger corners give it a little more bulk, a typical trade-off with a protective case. The difference is really noticeable only when you’re holding a Gripmunk or similar slimmer case in one hand and a Gripzilla in the other, but both can slide comfortably into a pocket or purse.\n\n## The thinnest case we recommend: Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case\n![The Totallee Super Thin Case, our pick for best iPhone case that is thin and lightweight, on an iPhone 17.](https:\/\/cdn.thewirecutter.com\/wp-content\/media\/2025\/10\/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9474.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)\n\nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\n\n- Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 17](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75711\/227683\/4\/237394\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75738\/227739\/4\/237395\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75739\/227740\/4\/237396\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone Air](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75740\/227741\/4\/237397\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 16](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65045\/208246\/4\/196483\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65046\/208248\/4\/196484\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65047\/208247\/4\/196485\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65048\/208249\/4\/196486\/?merchant=Amazon), [16e](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/73194\/222764\/4\/225706\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 15](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76451\/229423\/4\/237400\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76452\/229425\/4\/237401\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76453\/229427\/4\/237428\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76454\/229429\/4\/237429\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 14](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52889\/185102\/4\/237398\/?merchant=Totallee), [14 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76456\/229432\/4\/237442\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76457\/229434\/4\/237443\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76458\/229436\/4\/237444\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 13](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47112\/174932\/4\/237399\/?merchant=Totallee), [13 mini](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76459\/229438\/4\/237445\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76460\/229439\/4\/237446\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76461\/229442\/4\/237448\/?merchant=Amazon)\n\nIf you’re seeking the thinnest case you can slap on your iPhone 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17, we recommend the [Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75711\/227683\/4\/237394\/?merchant=Amazon). It lives up to its name with a super-thin design that’s only half a millimeter thick, and it weighs less than 1 ounce. Super-thin cases aren’t for everyone, but they can be ideal for people who want to reduce the damage to an iPhone in case of drops without adding too much bulk.\n\nAlthough the protection is minimal here, the Totallee Scarf case offers a bump to guard your camera lenses, covers your phone’s buttons, and provides accessible cutouts for the USB-C port and the Camera Control button. It also supports MagSafe for wireless charging and attaching accessories.\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nThe Scarf case doesn’t provide the best grip and can’t protect your phone much against drops. It also doesn’t handle scratches well — they can be noticeable in good lighting, an issue we’ve encountered with other super-thin cases as well. Note too that the iPhone 16e version doesn’t come with a built-in magnet, so it can’t work with MagSafe accessories.\n\n## Best accessory-friendly case: Peak Design Everyday Case\n![The Peak Design Everyday Case, our pick for best iPhone case that is easy to add accessories to, on an iPhone 17.](https:\/\/cdn.thewirecutter.com\/wp-content\/media\/2025\/10\/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9469.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)\n\nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\n\n- Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 17](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75712\/227883\/4\/237459\/?merchant=Best%20Buy), [17 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75741\/227926\/4\/237463\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75742\/227928\/4\/237466\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone Air](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75743\/227929\/4\/237467\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 16](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65053\/207031\/4\/196492\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65054\/206934\/4\/196493\/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [16 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65055\/206935\/4\/196494\/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [16 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65056\/206936\/4\/196495\/?merchant=Peak%20Design)\n- Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 15](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59094\/196768\/4\/178020\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59093\/196767\/4\/178021\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59095\/196769\/4\/178022\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59096\/197678\/4\/178023\/?merchant=Peak%20Design)\n- Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 14](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52891\/185192\/4\/152716\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52892\/185105\/4\/178024\/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [14 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52893\/185106\/4\/178025\/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [14 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52894\/185107\/4\/178026\/?merchant=Peak%20Design)\n- Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 13](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48704\/181369\/4\/149885\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 mini](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48705\/177513\/4\/178027\/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [13 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48706\/177514\/4\/178028\/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [13 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48707\/177515\/4\/178029\/?merchant=Peak%20Design)\n\nIf you want to swap accessories on the fly (or you think you might want to), [Peak Design’s Everyday Case](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75712\/227883\/4\/237459\/?merchant=Best%20Buy) is a great option. It has a TPU border with small ridges along the inner edge that should help absorb damage from drops, a MagSafe-compatible magnet that works with all the MagSafe accessories we tested it with, and a mounting point on the back that securely grips all accessories in place. Some of these attachments include mounts for your [car](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48723\/199587\/4\/149891\/?merchant=Amazon), [motorcycle](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48725\/177539\/4\/149892\/?merchant=Peak%20Design), and [bike](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48726\/220874\/4\/149895\/?merchant=Amazon), as well as a [tripod mounting system](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48727\/208251\/4\/149893\/?merchant=Amazon) and a [wallet](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48728\/227936\/4\/149894\/?merchant=Amazon). The connection is strong enough that we have zero concerns about anything unintentionally falling out of place, and the case itself isn’t even noticeably thicker than our [basic case pick](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/reviews\/best-iphone-cases\/#best-basic-case-for-any-iphone-smartish-gripmunk).\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nThe Everyday Case is made of vegan leather, which doesn’t feel as luxurious as the real leather on the Mujjo Full Leather Case. We haven’t experienced any issues with scratches or scuffs on this case, but vegan leather is typically not as durable as animal-based leather. We’ll continue to test this case to see how it holds up over a long period.\n\n*This article was edited by Arthur Gies and Caitlin McGarry.*\n\n## Meet your guide\n![](https:\/\/cdn.thewirecutter.com\/wp-content\/media\/2025\/07\/Brenda-Stolyar-headshot-1.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&crop=1:1&width=100)\n\nBrenda Stolyar\n\nSenior Staff Writer\n\nWhat I Cover\n\nI write about smartphones, tablets, and wearables.

It has been our favorite case for every iPhone model since the iPhone 7, and although it isn’t particularly flashy, it is dependable. The case is flexible enough to allow for an easy installation, but it won’t stretch out or pull off over time. It also offers finger grooves on the edges that help improve grip, plus excellent shock absorption.\n\nThe Gripmunk case covers the iPhone’s buttons yet doesn’t dampen their clickiness. The iPhone 17 version has a concave cutout for the model’s Camera Control button (there’s also a [version with an integrated cover](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76479\/229498\/4\/237668\/?merchant=Smartish) for Camera Control), which makes presses and swipes feel natural. Though every accident is different, we’ve dropped iPhones covered by this case dozens of times and never damaged their bodies. You’re unlikely to find a case of this quality at a lower price.\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nVisually, the Smartish Gripmunk isn’t the most exciting case out there, but Amazon offers a “secret menu” with a handful of patterns you can have printed on the back of the case; another alternative is to upload your own images or text on the [Smartish website](https:\/\/smartish.com\/pages\/designstudio) for more personalization. Note that the Gripmunk doesn’t protect against every impact—no case truly can—but if you want to be extra safe, check out our [protective picks for every iPhone model](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/reviews\/best-iphone-cases\/#protective-cases-we-recommend-smartish-gripzilla-and-speck-presidio-pro).\n\n## Best leather cases: Mujjo Full Leather Case and Nomad Modern Leather Case\n### Mujjo Full Leather Case\n![The Mujjo Full Leather Case, our pick for best iPhone case made of leather, on an iPhone 17.](https:\/\/cdn.thewirecutter.com\/wp-content\/media\/2025\/10\/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9470.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)\n\nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\n\n- Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 17](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75693\/227645\/4\/237330\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75726\/227907\/4\/237331\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75727\/227908\/4\/237332\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone Air](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75728\/227909\/4\/237333\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 16](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65024\/213684\/4\/196386\/?merchant=Nordstrom), [16 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65025\/207018\/4\/196388\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65026\/207019\/4\/196389\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 15 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59057\/197669\/4\/177992\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59058\/197670\/4\/237334\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 14](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52905\/229495\/4\/237335\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59057\/197669\/4\/177992\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76432\/229392\/4\/237337\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76433\/229393\/4\/237338\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 13](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47683\/229496\/4\/237339\/?merchant=Mujjo)\n\nBecause Apple doesn’t make leather cases anymore, we recommend the [Mujjo Full Leather Case](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75693\/227645\/4\/237330\/?merchant=Amazon); it isn’t quite as good as Apple’s Leather Case, but it is the best one you can find for the iPhone 17, 16, and 15. The Mujjo case’s design is extremely similar to that of the Apple case, with slightly rough but supple leather on the outside, microfiber on the inside, and an open bottom edge. It also has a matte finish that feels just as nice. The iPhone 17 version of the case has an integrated Camera Control button, while the iPhone 16 case has a slightly dipped cutout.\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nThe leather can wear unevenly with time and heavy use or become discolored and scuffed, and a MagSafe charging puck can leave an imprint. Still, it’s a great case with a slim and understated look.\n\n### Nomad Modern Leather Case\n![A brown leather Nomad Full Leather iPhone case.](https:\/\/cdn.thewirecutter.com\/wp-content\/media\/2024\/10\/iphone-case-2048px-3456.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)\n\nNomad\n\nMujjo doesn’t make an iPhone 16 Plus version of its case, which is strange, but the [Nomad Modern Leather Case](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65030\/206896\/4\/196441\/?merchant=Nomad) is a great option for 16 Plus owners (although it’s not full leather). The Nomad case has a microfiber lining and consists of leather and rubber, which provides a sturdier grip and will better protect the iPhone’s corners over time. The case has a hard plastic camera bumper to protect your iPhone’s camera lenses from drops and clicky aluminum buttons for the Action, Power, and Volume controls. The case also offers a cutout for the Camera Control button, which can be easily reached for long and half-presses.\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nLeather can wear unevenly with time and heavy use. Similar to other full-leather cases, Nomad’s rear leather portion will get worn and develop a patina over time, for good or bad. We plan to test it in the long term to see how the leather holds up, but colorful leather can become discolored and scuffed, and a MagSafe charging puck can leave an imprint. There are also concerns about the durability of the Camera Control cutout over time as it uses a thin piece of plastic between the side rails and the screen.\n\n## Best wallet case for all iPhones: Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1\n![The Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1, our pick for best iPhone case that doubles as a wallet, on an iPhone 17.](https:\/\/cdn.thewirecutter.com\/wp-content\/media\/2025\/10\/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9466.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)\n\nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\n\n- Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 17](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75694\/227646\/4\/237341\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75729\/227729\/4\/237342\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75730\/227730\/4\/237343\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone Air](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75731\/227912\/4\/237344\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 16](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65031\/207020\/4\/196443\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65032\/207021\/4\/196444\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65033\/207022\/4\/196445\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65034\/207023\/4\/196446\/?merchant=Amazon), [16e](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/73192\/222762\/4\/225699\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 15](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59061\/196732\/4\/177995\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59064\/196735\/4\/177996\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59065\/196736\/4\/177997\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59066\/196737\/4\/177998\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 14](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52866\/185185\/4\/152684\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52867\/185080\/4\/152685\/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52868\/185081\/4\/152686\/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52869\/185082\/4\/152687\/?merchant=Smartish)\n- Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 13](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47078\/174898\/4\/136911\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 mini](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47079\/174899\/4\/136912\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47080\/174900\/4\/136913\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47081\/174901\/4\/136914\/?merchant=Amazon)\n\nAnyone looking to combine their wallet with their iPhone should consider the [Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65031\/207020\/4\/196443\/?merchant=Amazon) case. It does a great job of keeping your cards (up to three) protected and in place, and it can also accommodate some cash. The case’s molded plastic design fits well in the hand, and you don’t have to worry about it deforming over time—the Wallet Slayer maintains its shape and thickness no matter how full (or empty) it is. Like other Smartish cases, this case covers all of the phone’s buttons except the easy-to-reach cutouts for the USB-C port and Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 and 17 lineup.\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nThe Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 is certainly as bulky as you might expect a wallet case to be, but we don’t think it feels overly thick. People with tighter pockets may want to consider [something slimmer](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/reviews\/best-iphone-cases\/#the-thinnest-cases-we-recommend-totallee-super-thin-caudabe-veil-and-caudabe-the-sheath); this case is also too thick to work with most Qi wireless chargers and MagSafe chargers.\n\n## Best clear case for all iPhones: Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit\n![The Spigen Ultra Hybrid (MagFit), our pick for best clear iPhone case, on an iPhone 17.](https:\/\/cdn.thewirecutter.com\/wp-content\/media\/2025\/10\/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9475.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)\n\nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\n\n- Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 17](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75710\/227880\/4\/237346\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75735\/227916\/4\/237347\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75736\/227917\/4\/237348\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone Air](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75737\/227919\/4\/237349\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 16](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65759\/229497\/4\/237350\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76437\/229398\/4\/237351\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76442\/229404\/4\/237353\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76444\/229408\/4\/237354\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 15](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59072\/196744\/4\/177999\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59073\/196745\/4\/178000\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59074\/196746\/4\/178001\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59075\/196747\/4\/178002\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 14](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59072\/196744\/4\/177999\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52882\/185095\/4\/237369\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76445\/229411\/4\/237374\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 13](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59072\/196744\/4\/177999\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 mini](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76446\/229413\/4\/237376\/?merchant=Spigen), [13 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76447\/229414\/4\/237378\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/76449\/229417\/4\/237383\/?merchant=Spigen)\n\nIf you want a clear case to showcase your iPhone’s original color and design while adding some protection, we recommend the [Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75710\/227880\/4\/237346\/?merchant=Amazon) case. It has a transparent hard-plastic back, TPU borders, and air pockets for shock absorption. The buttons are covered too, and they offer a tactile feel. The Camera Control button is also covered, but with a thinner plastic layer, so it remains easy to access and registers all the necessary gestures. A raised lip protects the display and camera. The MagSafe ring on the back offers a strong hold when you’re attaching accessories.\n\nThe Spigen Ultra Hybrid also comes in other variations, including clear cases with different MagSafe-ring colors such as graphite and gold, and Spigen has frosted versions in black or white.\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nEvery clear case we’ve tested in the past has been prone to yellowing and collecting grime over time. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid comes with a blue resin coating for anti-yellowing, and we plan to test it long-term to see if that helps to counter the discoloration. That said, we expect that some yellowing is inevitable.\n\n## The protective case we recommend: Smartish Gripzilla\n![The Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe, our pick for best iPhone case with added protection, on an iPhone 17.](https:\/\/cdn.thewirecutter.com\/wp-content\/media\/2025\/10\/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9467.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)\n\nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\n\n- Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 17](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75695\/227654\/4\/237385\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75732\/227732\/4\/237387\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75733\/227733\/4\/237389\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone Air](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75734\/227734\/4\/237390\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 16](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65041\/207027\/4\/196479\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65042\/207028\/4\/196480\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65043\/207029\/4\/196481\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65044\/207030\/4\/196482\/?merchant=Amazon), [16e](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/73193\/222763\/4\/225704\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 15](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59067\/196738\/4\/178007\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59068\/196739\/4\/178008\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59069\/196740\/4\/178009\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59070\/196741\/4\/178010\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 14](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52871\/185186\/4\/152704\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52872\/185085\/4\/152705\/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52873\/185086\/4\/152706\/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52874\/185087\/4\/152707\/?merchant=Smartish)\n- Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 13](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47082\/174902\/4\/136919\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47084\/174904\/4\/136921\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/47091\/174911\/4\/136923\/?merchant=Amazon)\n\nIf you need as much protection as possible but don’t want to pay too much for it, the [Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75695\/227654\/4\/237385\/?merchant=Amazon) is an excellent pick for the iPhone 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17.\n\nThe Gripzilla is a slightly taller and thicker version of the Smartish Gripmunk, adding 0.2 inch in height and 0.1 inch in thickness compared with the Gripmunk.

Although the Gripzilla is marginally thicker, it still supports MagSafe charging and protects your action, volume, power, and Camera Control buttons. It has recessed finger ridges on both sides of the case to provide a secure grip for those who are prone to dropping their devices, and in our experience it survived several drop tests from a 6-foot height without any visible damage.\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nThe Gripzilla’s larger corners give it a little more bulk, a typical trade-off with a protective case.

It lives up to its name with a super-thin design that’s only half a millimeter thick, and it weighs less than 1 ounce. Super-thin cases aren’t for everyone, but they can be ideal for people who want to reduce the damage to an iPhone in case of drops without adding too much bulk.\n\nAlthough the protection is minimal here, the Totallee Scarf case offers a bump to guard your camera lenses, covers your phone’s buttons, and provides accessible cutouts for the USB-C port and the Camera Control button. It also supports MagSafe for wireless charging and attaching accessories.\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nThe Scarf case doesn’t provide the best grip and can’t protect your phone much against drops. It also doesn’t handle scratches well — they can be noticeable in good lighting, an issue we’ve encountered with other super-thin cases as well. Note too that the iPhone 16e version doesn’t come with a built-in magnet, so it can’t work with MagSafe accessories.\n\n## Best accessory-friendly case: Peak Design Everyday Case\n![The Peak Design Everyday Case, our pick for best iPhone case that is easy to add accessories to, on an iPhone 17.](https:\/\/cdn.thewirecutter.com\/wp-content\/media\/2025\/10\/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9469.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024)\n\nMichael Hession\/NYT Wirecutter\n\n- Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 17](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75712\/227883\/4\/237459\/?merchant=Best%20Buy), [17 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75741\/227926\/4\/237463\/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75742\/227928\/4\/237466\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone Air](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75743\/227929\/4\/237467\/?merchant=Amazon)\n- Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 16](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65053\/207031\/4\/196492\/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65054\/206934\/4\/196493\/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [16 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65055\/206935\/4\/196494\/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [16 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/65056\/206936\/4\/196495\/?merchant=Peak%20Design)\n- Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 15](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59094\/196768\/4\/178020\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59093\/196767\/4\/178021\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59095\/196769\/4\/178022\/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/59096\/197678\/4\/178023\/?merchant=Peak%20Design)\n- Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 14](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52891\/185192\/4\/152716\/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52892\/185105\/4\/178024\/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [14 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52893\/185106\/4\/178025\/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [14 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/52894\/185107\/4\/178026\/?merchant=Peak%20Design)\n- Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 13](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48704\/181369\/4\/149885\/?merchant=Amazon), [13 mini](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48705\/177513\/4\/178027\/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [13 Pro](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48706\/177514\/4\/178028\/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [13 Pro Max](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48707\/177515\/4\/178029\/?merchant=Peak%20Design)\n\nIf you want to swap accessories on the fly (or you think you might want to), [Peak Design’s Everyday Case](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/75712\/227883\/4\/237459\/?merchant=Best%20Buy) is a great option. It has a TPU border with small ridges along the inner edge that should help absorb damage from drops, a MagSafe-compatible magnet that works with all the MagSafe accessories we tested it with, and a mounting point on the back that securely grips all accessories in place. Some of these attachments include mounts for your [car](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48723\/199587\/4\/149891\/?merchant=Amazon), [motorcycle](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48725\/177539\/4\/149892\/?merchant=Peak%20Design), and [bike](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48726\/220874\/4\/149895\/?merchant=Amazon), as well as a [tripod mounting system](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48727\/208251\/4\/149893\/?merchant=Amazon) and a [wallet](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/out\/link\/48728\/227936\/4\/149894\/?merchant=Amazon). The connection is strong enough that we have zero concerns about anything unintentionally falling out of place, and the case itself isn’t even noticeably thicker than our [basic case pick](https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/reviews\/best-iphone-cases\/#best-basic-case-for-any-iphone-smartish-gripmunk).\n\n### Flaws but not dealbreakers\nThe Everyday Case is made of vegan leather, which doesn’t feel as luxurious as the real leather on the Mujjo Full Leather Case. We haven’t experienced any issues with scratches or scuffs on this case, but vegan leather is typically not as durable as animal-based leather. We’ll continue to test this case to see how it holds up over a long period.\n\n*This article was edited by Arthur Gies and Caitlin McGarry.*","meta_canonical":null}

Boilerpipe Text	The research Best basic case for any iPhone: Smartish Gripmunk Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter Smartish Gripmunk with MagSafe for iPhone 17 , 17 Pro , 17 Pro Max Smartish Gripmunk with MagSafe for iPhone Air Smartish Gripmunk with MagSafe for iPhone 16 , 16 Plus , 16 Pro , 16 Pro Max , 16e Smartish Gripmunk with MagSafe for iPhone 15 , 15 Plus , 15 Pro , 15 Pro Max Smartish Gripmunk with MagSafe for iPhone 14 , 14 Plus , 14 Pro , 14 Pro Max Smartish Gripmunk with MagSafe for iPhone 13 , 13 Pro , 13 Pro Max The Smartish Gripmunk is a reliable choice for anyone seeking a simple, durable, and protective case generally available for $10 to $20. It has been our favorite case for every iPhone model since the iPhone 7, and although it isn’t particularly flashy, it is dependable. The case is flexible enough to allow for an easy installation, but it won’t stretch out or pull off over time. It also offers finger grooves on the edges that help improve grip, plus excellent shock absorption. The Gripmunk case covers the iPhone’s buttons yet doesn’t dampen their clickiness. The iPhone 17 version has a concave cutout for the model’s Camera Control button (there’s also a version with an integrated cover for Camera Control), which makes presses and swipes feel natural. Though every accident is different, we’ve dropped iPhones covered by this case dozens of times and never damaged their bodies. You’re unlikely to find a case of this quality at a lower price. Flaws but not dealbreakers Visually, the Smartish Gripmunk isn’t the most exciting case out there, but Amazon offers a “secret menu” with a handful of patterns you can have printed on the back of the case; another alternative is to upload your own images or text on the Smartish website for more personalization. Note that the Gripmunk doesn’t protect against every impact—no case truly can—but if you want to be extra safe, check out our protective picks for every iPhone model . Best leather cases: Mujjo Full Leather Case and Nomad Modern Leather Case Mujjo Full Leather Case Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter Mujjo Full Leather Case for iPhone 17 , 17 Pro , 17 Pro Max Mujjo Full Leather Case for iPhone Air Mujjo Full Leather Case for iPhone 16 , 16 Pro , 16 Pro Max Mujjo Full Leather Case for iPhone 15 Plus , 15 Pro Mujjo Full Leather Case for iPhone 14 , 14 Plus , 14 Pro , 14 Pro Max Mujjo Full Leather Case for iPhone 13 Because Apple doesn’t make leather cases anymore, we recommend the Mujjo Full Leather Case ; it isn’t quite as good as Apple’s Leather Case, but it is the best one you can find for the iPhone 17, 16, and 15. The Mujjo case’s design is extremely similar to that of the Apple case, with slightly rough but supple leather on the outside, microfiber on the inside, and an open bottom edge. It also has a matte finish that feels just as nice. The iPhone 17 version of the case has an integrated Camera Control button, while the iPhone 16 case has a slightly dipped cutout. Flaws but not dealbreakers The leather can wear unevenly with time and heavy use or become discolored and scuffed, and a MagSafe charging puck can leave an imprint. Still, it’s a great case with a slim and understated look. Nomad Modern Leather Case Nomad Mujjo doesn’t make an iPhone 16 Plus version of its case, which is strange, but the Nomad Modern Leather Case is a great option for 16 Plus owners (although it’s not full leather). The Nomad case has a microfiber lining and consists of leather and rubber, which provides a sturdier grip and will better protect the iPhone’s corners over time. The case has a hard plastic camera bumper to protect your iPhone’s camera lenses from drops and clicky aluminum buttons for the Action, Power, and Volume controls. The case also offers a cutout for the Camera Control button, which can be easily reached for long and half-presses. Flaws but not dealbreakers Leather can wear unevenly with time and heavy use. Similar to other full-leather cases, Nomad’s rear leather portion will get worn and develop a patina over time, for good or bad. We plan to test it in the long term to see how the leather holds up, but colorful leather can become discolored and scuffed, and a MagSafe charging puck can leave an imprint. There are also concerns about the durability of the Camera Control cutout over time as it uses a thin piece of plastic between the side rails and the screen. Best wallet case for all iPhones: Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for iPhone 17 , 17 Pro , 17 Pro Max Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for iPhone Air Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for iPhone 16 , 16 Plus , 16 Pro , 16 Pro Max , 16e Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for iPhone 15 , 15 Plus , 15 Pro , 15 Pro Max Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for iPhone 14 , 14 Plus , 14 Pro , 14 Pro Max Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for iPhone 13 , 13 mini , 13 Pro , 13 Pro Max Anyone looking to combine their wallet with their iPhone should consider the Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 case. It does a great job of keeping your cards (up to three) protected and in place, and it can also accommodate some cash. The case’s molded plastic design fits well in the hand, and you don’t have to worry about it deforming over time—the Wallet Slayer maintains its shape and thickness no matter how full (or empty) it is. Like other Smartish cases, this case covers all of the phone’s buttons except the easy-to-reach cutouts for the USB-C port and Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 and 17 lineup. Flaws but not dealbreakers The Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 is certainly as bulky as you might expect a wallet case to be, but we don’t think it feels overly thick. People with tighter pockets may want to consider something slimmer ; this case is also too thick to work with most Qi wireless chargers and MagSafe chargers. Best clear case for all iPhones: Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for iPhone 17 , 17 Pro , 17 Pro Max Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for iPhone Air Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for iPhone 16 , 16 Plus , 16 Pro , 16 Pro Max Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for iPhone 15 , 15 Plus , 15 Pro , 15 Pro Max Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for iPhone 14 , 14 Pro , 14 Pro Max Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for iPhone 13 , 13 mini , 13 Pro , 13 Pro Max If you want a clear case to showcase your iPhone’s original color and design while adding some protection, we recommend the Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit case. It has a transparent hard-plastic back, TPU borders, and air pockets for shock absorption. The buttons are covered too, and they offer a tactile feel. The Camera Control button is also covered, but with a thinner plastic layer, so it remains easy to access and registers all the necessary gestures. A raised lip protects the display and camera. The MagSafe ring on the back offers a strong hold when you’re attaching accessories. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid also comes in other variations, including clear cases with different MagSafe-ring colors such as graphite and gold, and Spigen has frosted versions in black or white. Flaws but not dealbreakers Every clear case we’ve tested in the past has been prone to yellowing and collecting grime over time. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid comes with a blue resin coating for anti-yellowing, and we plan to test it long-term to see if that helps to counter the discoloration. That said, we expect that some yellowing is inevitable. The protective case we recommend: Smartish Gripzilla Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for iPhone 17 , 17 Pro , 17 Pro Max Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for iPhone Air Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for iPhone 16 , 16 Plus , 16 Pro , 16 Pro Max , 16e Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for iPhone 15 , 15 Plus , 15 Pro , 15 Pro Max Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for iPhone 14 , 14 Plus , 14 Pro , 14 Pro Max Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for iPhone 13 , 13 Pro , 13 Pro Max If you need as much protection as possible but don’t want to pay too much for it, the Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe is an excellent pick for the iPhone 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17. The Gripzilla is a slightly taller and thicker version of the Smartish Gripmunk, adding 0.2 inch in height and 0.1 inch in thickness compared with the Gripmunk. The Gripzilla also adds a 1 mm lip to guard the camera bump (or the Pro and Pro Max’s camera plateau) and a 1.5 mm lip to protect the screen from drops. Although the Gripzilla is marginally thicker, it still supports MagSafe charging and protects your action, volume, power, and Camera Control buttons. It has recessed finger ridges on both sides of the case to provide a secure grip for those who are prone to dropping their devices, and in our experience it survived several drop tests from a 6-foot height without any visible damage. Flaws but not dealbreakers The Gripzilla’s larger corners give it a little more bulk, a typical trade-off with a protective case. The difference is really noticeable only when you’re holding a Gripmunk or similar slimmer case in one hand and a Gripzilla in the other, but both can slide comfortably into a pocket or purse. The thinnest case we recommend: Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for iPhone 17 , 17 Pro , 17 Pro Max Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for iPhone Air Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for iPhone 16 , 16 Plus , 16 Pro , 16 Pro Max , 16e Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for iPhone 15 , 15 Plus , 15 Pro , 15 Pro Max Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for iPhone 14 , 14 Plus , 14 Pro , 14 Pro Max Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for iPhone 13 , 13 mini , 13 Pro , 13 Pro Max If you’re seeking the thinnest case you can slap on your iPhone 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17, we recommend the Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case . It lives up to its name with a super-thin design that’s only half a millimeter thick, and it weighs less than 1 ounce. Super-thin cases aren’t for everyone, but they can be ideal for people who want to reduce the damage to an iPhone in case of drops without adding too much bulk. Although the protection is minimal here, the Totallee Scarf case offers a bump to guard your camera lenses, covers your phone’s buttons, and provides accessible cutouts for the USB-C port and the Camera Control button. It also supports MagSafe for wireless charging and attaching accessories. Flaws but not dealbreakers The Scarf case doesn’t provide the best grip and can’t protect your phone much against drops. It also doesn’t handle scratches well — they can be noticeable in good lighting, an issue we’ve encountered with other super-thin cases as well. Note too that the iPhone 16e version doesn’t come with a built-in magnet, so it can’t work with MagSafe accessories. Best accessory-friendly case: Peak Design Everyday Case Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter Peak Design Everyday Case for iPhone 17 , 17 Pro , 17 Pro Max Peak Design Everyday Case for iPhone Air Peak Design Everyday Case for iPhone 16 , 16 Plus , 16 Pro , 16 Pro Max Peak Design Everyday Case for iPhone 15 , 15 Plus , 15 Pro , 15 Pro Max Peak Design Everyday Case for iPhone 14 , 14 Plus , 14 Pro , 14 Pro Max Peak Design Everyday Case for iPhone 13 , 13 mini , 13 Pro , 13 Pro Max If you want to swap accessories on the fly (or you think you might want to), Peak Design’s Everyday Case is a great option. It has a TPU border with small ridges along the inner edge that should help absorb damage from drops, a MagSafe-compatible magnet that works with all the MagSafe accessories we tested it with, and a mounting point on the back that securely grips all accessories in place. Some of these attachments include mounts for your car , motorcycle , and bike , as well as a tripod mounting system and a wallet . The connection is strong enough that we have zero concerns about anything unintentionally falling out of place, and the case itself isn’t even noticeably thicker than our basic case pick . Flaws but not dealbreakers The Everyday Case is made of vegan leather, which doesn’t feel as luxurious as the real leather on the Mujjo Full Leather Case. We haven’t experienced any issues with scratches or scuffs on this case, but vegan leather is typically not as durable as animal-based leather. We’ll continue to test this case to see how it holds up over a long period. This article was edited by Arthur Gies and Caitlin McGarry.

Her beats include smartwatches, tablets, and wearables. Even the least expensive iPhone is pricey, and the right case should help protect it so that you can use it as long as possible. The best cases offer protection against scratches, dings, and cracks, and allow you to personalize your phone, often without adding much bulk or changing how you use your device. Whether you’re looking for a case to conveniently attach to various accessories throughout your day or seeking the most protection possible, we’ve tested hundreds of iPhone cases and can recommend the right one to fit your needs.

It has been our favorite case for every iPhone model since the iPhone 7, and although it isn’t particularly flashy, it is dependable. The case is flexible enough to allow for an easy installation, but it won’t stretch out or pull off over time. It also offers finger grooves on the edges that help improve grip, plus excellent shock absorption. The Gripmunk case covers the iPhone’s buttons yet doesn’t dampen their clickiness. The iPhone 17 version has a concave cutout for the model’s Camera Control button (there’s also a [version with an integrated cover](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76479/229498/4/237668/?merchant=Smartish) for Camera Control), which makes presses and swipes feel natural. Though every accident is different, we’ve dropped iPhones covered by this case dozens of times and never damaged their bodies. You’re unlikely to find a case of this quality at a lower price. ### Flaws but not dealbreakers Visually, the Smartish Gripmunk isn’t the most exciting case out there, but Amazon offers a “secret menu” with a handful of patterns you can have printed on the back of the case; another alternative is to upload your own images or text on the [Smartish website](https://smartish.com/pages/designstudio) for more personalization. Note that the Gripmunk doesn’t protect against every impact—no case truly can—but if you want to be extra safe, check out our [protective picks for every iPhone model](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-iphone-cases/#protective-cases-we-recommend-smartish-gripzilla-and-speck-presidio-pro). ## Best leather cases: Mujjo Full Leather Case and Nomad Modern Leather Case ### Mujjo Full Leather Case ![The Mujjo Full Leather Case, our pick for best iPhone case made of leather, on an iPhone 17.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2025/10/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9470.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024) Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter - Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 17](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75693/227645/4/237330/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75726/227907/4/237331/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75727/227908/4/237332/?merchant=Amazon) - Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone Air](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75728/227909/4/237333/?merchant=Amazon) - Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 16](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65024/213684/4/196386/?merchant=Nordstrom), [16 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65025/207018/4/196388/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65026/207019/4/196389/?merchant=Amazon) - Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 15 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59057/197669/4/177992/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59058/197670/4/237334/?merchant=Amazon) - Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 14](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52905/229495/4/237335/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59057/197669/4/177992/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76432/229392/4/237337/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76433/229393/4/237338/?merchant=Amazon) - Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 13](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47683/229496/4/237339/?merchant=Mujjo) Because Apple doesn’t make leather cases anymore, we recommend the [Mujjo Full Leather Case](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75693/227645/4/237330/?merchant=Amazon); it isn’t quite as good as Apple’s Leather Case, but it is the best one you can find for the iPhone 17, 16, and 15. The Mujjo case’s design is extremely similar to that of the Apple case, with slightly rough but supple leather on the outside, microfiber on the inside, and an open bottom edge. It also has a matte finish that feels just as nice. The iPhone 17 version of the case has an integrated Camera Control button, while the iPhone 16 case has a slightly dipped cutout. ### Flaws but not dealbreakers The leather can wear unevenly with time and heavy use or become discolored and scuffed, and a MagSafe charging puck can leave an imprint. Still, it’s a great case with a slim and understated look. ### Nomad Modern Leather Case ![A brown leather Nomad Full Leather iPhone case.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/iphone-case-2048px-3456.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024) Nomad Mujjo doesn’t make an iPhone 16 Plus version of its case, which is strange, but the [Nomad Modern Leather Case](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65030/206896/4/196441/?merchant=Nomad) is a great option for 16 Plus owners (although it’s not full leather). The Nomad case has a microfiber lining and consists of leather and rubber, which provides a sturdier grip and will better protect the iPhone’s corners over time. The case has a hard plastic camera bumper to protect your iPhone’s camera lenses from drops and clicky aluminum buttons for the Action, Power, and Volume controls. The case also offers a cutout for the Camera Control button, which can be easily reached for long and half-presses. ### Flaws but not dealbreakers Leather can wear unevenly with time and heavy use. Similar to other full-leather cases, Nomad’s rear leather portion will get worn and develop a patina over time, for good or bad. We plan to test it in the long term to see how the leather holds up, but colorful leather can become discolored and scuffed, and a MagSafe charging puck can leave an imprint. There are also concerns about the durability of the Camera Control cutout over time as it uses a thin piece of plastic between the side rails and the screen. ## Best wallet case for all iPhones: Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 ![The Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1, our pick for best iPhone case that doubles as a wallet, on an iPhone 17.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2025/10/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9466.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024) Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter - Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 17](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75694/227646/4/237341/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75729/227729/4/237342/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75730/227730/4/237343/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone Air](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75731/227912/4/237344/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 16](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65031/207020/4/196443/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65032/207021/4/196444/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65033/207022/4/196445/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65034/207023/4/196446/?merchant=Amazon), [16e](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/73192/222762/4/225699/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 15](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59061/196732/4/177995/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59064/196735/4/177996/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59065/196736/4/177997/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59066/196737/4/177998/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 14](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52866/185185/4/152684/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52867/185080/4/152685/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52868/185081/4/152686/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52869/185082/4/152687/?merchant=Smartish) - Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 13](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47078/174898/4/136911/?merchant=Amazon), [13 mini](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47079/174899/4/136912/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47080/174900/4/136913/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47081/174901/4/136914/?merchant=Amazon) Anyone looking to combine their wallet with their iPhone should consider the [Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65031/207020/4/196443/?merchant=Amazon) case. It does a great job of keeping your cards (up to three) protected and in place, and it can also accommodate some cash. The case’s molded plastic design fits well in the hand, and you don’t have to worry about it deforming over time—the Wallet Slayer maintains its shape and thickness no matter how full (or empty) it is. Like other Smartish cases, this case covers all of the phone’s buttons except the easy-to-reach cutouts for the USB-C port and Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 and 17 lineup. ### Flaws but not dealbreakers The Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 is certainly as bulky as you might expect a wallet case to be, but we don’t think it feels overly thick. People with tighter pockets may want to consider [something slimmer](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-iphone-cases/#the-thinnest-cases-we-recommend-totallee-super-thin-caudabe-veil-and-caudabe-the-sheath); this case is also too thick to work with most Qi wireless chargers and MagSafe chargers. ## Best clear case for all iPhones: Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit ![The Spigen Ultra Hybrid (MagFit), our pick for best clear iPhone case, on an iPhone 17.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2025/10/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9475.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024) Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter - Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 17](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75710/227880/4/237346/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75735/227916/4/237347/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75736/227917/4/237348/?merchant=Amazon) - Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone Air](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75737/227919/4/237349/?merchant=Amazon) - Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 16](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65759/229497/4/237350/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76437/229398/4/237351/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76442/229404/4/237353/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76444/229408/4/237354/?merchant=Amazon) - Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 15](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59072/196744/4/177999/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59073/196745/4/178000/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59074/196746/4/178001/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59075/196747/4/178002/?merchant=Amazon) - Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 14](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59072/196744/4/177999/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52882/185095/4/237369/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76445/229411/4/237374/?merchant=Amazon) - Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 13](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59072/196744/4/177999/?merchant=Amazon), [13 mini](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76446/229413/4/237376/?merchant=Spigen), [13 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76447/229414/4/237378/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76449/229417/4/237383/?merchant=Spigen) If you want a clear case to showcase your iPhone’s original color and design while adding some protection, we recommend the [Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75710/227880/4/237346/?merchant=Amazon) case. It has a transparent hard-plastic back, TPU borders, and air pockets for shock absorption. The buttons are covered too, and they offer a tactile feel. The Camera Control button is also covered, but with a thinner plastic layer, so it remains easy to access and registers all the necessary gestures. A raised lip protects the display and camera. The MagSafe ring on the back offers a strong hold when you’re attaching accessories. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid also comes in other variations, including clear cases with different MagSafe-ring colors such as graphite and gold, and Spigen has frosted versions in black or white. ### Flaws but not dealbreakers Every clear case we’ve tested in the past has been prone to yellowing and collecting grime over time. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid comes with a blue resin coating for anti-yellowing, and we plan to test it long-term to see if that helps to counter the discoloration. That said, we expect that some yellowing is inevitable. ## The protective case we recommend: Smartish Gripzilla ![The Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe, our pick for best iPhone case with added protection, on an iPhone 17.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2025/10/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9467.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024) Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter - Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 17](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75695/227654/4/237385/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75732/227732/4/237387/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75733/227733/4/237389/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone Air](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75734/227734/4/237390/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 16](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65041/207027/4/196479/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65042/207028/4/196480/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65043/207029/4/196481/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65044/207030/4/196482/?merchant=Amazon), [16e](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/73193/222763/4/225704/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 15](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59067/196738/4/178007/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59068/196739/4/178008/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59069/196740/4/178009/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59070/196741/4/178010/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 14](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52871/185186/4/152704/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52872/185085/4/152705/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52873/185086/4/152706/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52874/185087/4/152707/?merchant=Smartish) - Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 13](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47082/174902/4/136919/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47084/174904/4/136921/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47091/174911/4/136923/?merchant=Amazon) If you need as much protection as possible but don’t want to pay too much for it, the [Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75695/227654/4/237385/?merchant=Amazon) is an excellent pick for the iPhone 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17. The Gripzilla is a slightly taller and thicker version of the Smartish Gripmunk, adding 0.2 inch in height and 0.1 inch in thickness compared with the Gripmunk. The Gripzilla also adds a 1 mm lip to guard the camera bump (or the Pro and Pro Max’s camera plateau) and a 1.5 mm lip to protect the screen from drops. Although the Gripzilla is marginally thicker, it still supports MagSafe charging and protects your action, volume, power, and Camera Control buttons. It has recessed finger ridges on both sides of the case to provide a secure grip for those who are prone to dropping their devices, and in our experience it survived several drop tests from a 6-foot height without any visible damage. ### Flaws but not dealbreakers The Gripzilla’s larger corners give it a little more bulk, a typical trade-off with a protective case. The difference is really noticeable only when you’re holding a Gripmunk or similar slimmer case in one hand and a Gripzilla in the other, but both can slide comfortably into a pocket or purse. ## The thinnest case we recommend: Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case ![The Totallee Super Thin Case, our pick for best iPhone case that is thin and lightweight, on an iPhone 17.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2025/10/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9474.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024) Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter - Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 17](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75711/227683/4/237394/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75738/227739/4/237395/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75739/227740/4/237396/?merchant=Amazon) - Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone Air](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75740/227741/4/237397/?merchant=Amazon) - Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 16](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65045/208246/4/196483/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65046/208248/4/196484/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65047/208247/4/196485/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65048/208249/4/196486/?merchant=Amazon), [16e](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/73194/222764/4/225706/?merchant=Amazon) - Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 15](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76451/229423/4/237400/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76452/229425/4/237401/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76453/229427/4/237428/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76454/229429/4/237429/?merchant=Amazon) - Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 14](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52889/185102/4/237398/?merchant=Totallee), [14 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76456/229432/4/237442/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76457/229434/4/237443/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76458/229436/4/237444/?merchant=Amazon) - Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 13](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47112/174932/4/237399/?merchant=Totallee), [13 mini](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76459/229438/4/237445/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76460/229439/4/237446/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76461/229442/4/237448/?merchant=Amazon) If you’re seeking the thinnest case you can slap on your iPhone 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17, we recommend the [Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75711/227683/4/237394/?merchant=Amazon). It lives up to its name with a super-thin design that’s only half a millimeter thick, and it weighs less than 1 ounce. Super-thin cases aren’t for everyone, but they can be ideal for people who want to reduce the damage to an iPhone in case of drops without adding too much bulk. Although the protection is minimal here, the Totallee Scarf case offers a bump to guard your camera lenses, covers your phone’s buttons, and provides accessible cutouts for the USB-C port and the Camera Control button. It also supports MagSafe for wireless charging and attaching accessories. ### Flaws but not dealbreakers The Scarf case doesn’t provide the best grip and can’t protect your phone much against drops. It also doesn’t handle scratches well — they can be noticeable in good lighting, an issue we’ve encountered with other super-thin cases as well. Note too that the iPhone 16e version doesn’t come with a built-in magnet, so it can’t work with MagSafe accessories. ## Best accessory-friendly case: Peak Design Everyday Case ![The Peak Design Everyday Case, our pick for best iPhone case that is easy to add accessories to, on an iPhone 17.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2025/10/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9469.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024) Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter - Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 17](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75712/227883/4/237459/?merchant=Best%20Buy), [17 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75741/227926/4/237463/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75742/227928/4/237466/?merchant=Amazon) - Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone Air](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75743/227929/4/237467/?merchant=Amazon) - Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 16](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65053/207031/4/196492/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65054/206934/4/196493/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [16 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65055/206935/4/196494/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [16 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65056/206936/4/196495/?merchant=Peak%20Design) - Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 15](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59094/196768/4/178020/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59093/196767/4/178021/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59095/196769/4/178022/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59096/197678/4/178023/?merchant=Peak%20Design) - Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 14](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52891/185192/4/152716/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52892/185105/4/178024/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [14 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52893/185106/4/178025/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [14 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52894/185107/4/178026/?merchant=Peak%20Design) - Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 13](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48704/181369/4/149885/?merchant=Amazon), [13 mini](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48705/177513/4/178027/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [13 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48706/177514/4/178028/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [13 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48707/177515/4/178029/?merchant=Peak%20Design) If you want to swap accessories on the fly (or you think you might want to), [Peak Design’s Everyday Case](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75712/227883/4/237459/?merchant=Best%20Buy) is a great option. It has a TPU border with small ridges along the inner edge that should help absorb damage from drops, a MagSafe-compatible magnet that works with all the MagSafe accessories we tested it with, and a mounting point on the back that securely grips all accessories in place. Some of these attachments include mounts for your [car](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48723/199587/4/149891/?merchant=Amazon), [motorcycle](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48725/177539/4/149892/?merchant=Peak%20Design), and [bike](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48726/220874/4/149895/?merchant=Amazon), as well as a [tripod mounting system](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48727/208251/4/149893/?merchant=Amazon) and a [wallet](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48728/227936/4/149894/?merchant=Amazon). The connection is strong enough that we have zero concerns about anything unintentionally falling out of place, and the case itself isn’t even noticeably thicker than our [basic case pick](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-iphone-cases/#best-basic-case-for-any-iphone-smartish-gripmunk). ### Flaws but not dealbreakers The Everyday Case is made of vegan leather, which doesn’t feel as luxurious as the real leather on the Mujjo Full Leather Case. We haven’t experienced any issues with scratches or scuffs on this case, but vegan leather is typically not as durable as animal-based leather. We’ll continue to test this case to see how it holds up over a long period.

It has been our favorite case for every iPhone model since the iPhone 7, and although it isn’t particularly flashy, it is dependable. The case is flexible enough to allow for an easy installation, but it won’t stretch out or pull off over time. It also offers finger grooves on the edges that help improve grip, plus excellent shock absorption. The Gripmunk case covers the iPhone’s buttons yet doesn’t dampen their clickiness. The iPhone 17 version has a concave cutout for the model’s Camera Control button (there’s also a [version with an integrated cover](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76479/229498/4/237668/?merchant=Smartish) for Camera Control), which makes presses and swipes feel natural. Though every accident is different, we’ve dropped iPhones covered by this case dozens of times and never damaged their bodies. You’re unlikely to find a case of this quality at a lower price. ### Flaws but not dealbreakers Visually, the Smartish Gripmunk isn’t the most exciting case out there, but Amazon offers a “secret menu” with a handful of patterns you can have printed on the back of the case; another alternative is to upload your own images or text on the [Smartish website](https://smartish.com/pages/designstudio) for more personalization. Note that the Gripmunk doesn’t protect against every impact—no case truly can—but if you want to be extra safe, check out our [protective picks for every iPhone model](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-iphone-cases/#protective-cases-we-recommend-smartish-gripzilla-and-speck-presidio-pro). ## Best leather cases: Mujjo Full Leather Case and Nomad Modern Leather Case ### Mujjo Full Leather Case ![The Mujjo Full Leather Case, our pick for best iPhone case made of leather, on an iPhone 17.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2025/10/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9470.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024) Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter - Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 17](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75693/227645/4/237330/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75726/227907/4/237331/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75727/227908/4/237332/?merchant=Amazon) - Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone Air](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75728/227909/4/237333/?merchant=Amazon) - Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 16](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65024/213684/4/196386/?merchant=Nordstrom), [16 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65025/207018/4/196388/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65026/207019/4/196389/?merchant=Amazon) - Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 15 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59057/197669/4/177992/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59058/197670/4/237334/?merchant=Amazon) - Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 14](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52905/229495/4/237335/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59057/197669/4/177992/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76432/229392/4/237337/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76433/229393/4/237338/?merchant=Amazon) - Mujjo Full Leather Case for [iPhone 13](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47683/229496/4/237339/?merchant=Mujjo) Because Apple doesn’t make leather cases anymore, we recommend the [Mujjo Full Leather Case](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75693/227645/4/237330/?merchant=Amazon); it isn’t quite as good as Apple’s Leather Case, but it is the best one you can find for the iPhone 17, 16, and 15. The Mujjo case’s design is extremely similar to that of the Apple case, with slightly rough but supple leather on the outside, microfiber on the inside, and an open bottom edge. It also has a matte finish that feels just as nice. The iPhone 17 version of the case has an integrated Camera Control button, while the iPhone 16 case has a slightly dipped cutout. ### Flaws but not dealbreakers The leather can wear unevenly with time and heavy use or become discolored and scuffed, and a MagSafe charging puck can leave an imprint. Still, it’s a great case with a slim and understated look. ### Nomad Modern Leather Case ![A brown leather Nomad Full Leather iPhone case.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/iphone-case-2048px-3456.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024) Nomad Mujjo doesn’t make an iPhone 16 Plus version of its case, which is strange, but the [Nomad Modern Leather Case](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65030/206896/4/196441/?merchant=Nomad) is a great option for 16 Plus owners (although it’s not full leather). The Nomad case has a microfiber lining and consists of leather and rubber, which provides a sturdier grip and will better protect the iPhone’s corners over time. The case has a hard plastic camera bumper to protect your iPhone’s camera lenses from drops and clicky aluminum buttons for the Action, Power, and Volume controls. The case also offers a cutout for the Camera Control button, which can be easily reached for long and half-presses. ### Flaws but not dealbreakers Leather can wear unevenly with time and heavy use. Similar to other full-leather cases, Nomad’s rear leather portion will get worn and develop a patina over time, for good or bad. We plan to test it in the long term to see how the leather holds up, but colorful leather can become discolored and scuffed, and a MagSafe charging puck can leave an imprint. There are also concerns about the durability of the Camera Control cutout over time as it uses a thin piece of plastic between the side rails and the screen. ## Best wallet case for all iPhones: Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 ![The Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1, our pick for best iPhone case that doubles as a wallet, on an iPhone 17.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2025/10/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9466.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024) Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter - Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 17](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75694/227646/4/237341/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75729/227729/4/237342/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75730/227730/4/237343/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone Air](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75731/227912/4/237344/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 16](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65031/207020/4/196443/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65032/207021/4/196444/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65033/207022/4/196445/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65034/207023/4/196446/?merchant=Amazon), [16e](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/73192/222762/4/225699/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 15](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59061/196732/4/177995/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59064/196735/4/177996/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59065/196736/4/177997/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59066/196737/4/177998/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 14](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52866/185185/4/152684/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52867/185080/4/152685/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52868/185081/4/152686/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52869/185082/4/152687/?merchant=Smartish) - Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for [iPhone 13](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47078/174898/4/136911/?merchant=Amazon), [13 mini](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47079/174899/4/136912/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47080/174900/4/136913/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47081/174901/4/136914/?merchant=Amazon) Anyone looking to combine their wallet with their iPhone should consider the [Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65031/207020/4/196443/?merchant=Amazon) case. It does a great job of keeping your cards (up to three) protected and in place, and it can also accommodate some cash. The case’s molded plastic design fits well in the hand, and you don’t have to worry about it deforming over time—the Wallet Slayer maintains its shape and thickness no matter how full (or empty) it is. Like other Smartish cases, this case covers all of the phone’s buttons except the easy-to-reach cutouts for the USB-C port and Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 and 17 lineup. ### Flaws but not dealbreakers The Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 is certainly as bulky as you might expect a wallet case to be, but we don’t think it feels overly thick. People with tighter pockets may want to consider [something slimmer](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-iphone-cases/#the-thinnest-cases-we-recommend-totallee-super-thin-caudabe-veil-and-caudabe-the-sheath); this case is also too thick to work with most Qi wireless chargers and MagSafe chargers. ## Best clear case for all iPhones: Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit ![The Spigen Ultra Hybrid (MagFit), our pick for best clear iPhone case, on an iPhone 17.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2025/10/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9475.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024) Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter - Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 17](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75710/227880/4/237346/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75735/227916/4/237347/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75736/227917/4/237348/?merchant=Amazon) - Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone Air](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75737/227919/4/237349/?merchant=Amazon) - Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 16](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65759/229497/4/237350/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76437/229398/4/237351/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76442/229404/4/237353/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76444/229408/4/237354/?merchant=Amazon) - Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 15](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59072/196744/4/177999/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59073/196745/4/178000/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59074/196746/4/178001/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59075/196747/4/178002/?merchant=Amazon) - Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 14](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59072/196744/4/177999/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52882/185095/4/237369/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76445/229411/4/237374/?merchant=Amazon) - Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for [iPhone 13](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59072/196744/4/177999/?merchant=Amazon), [13 mini](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76446/229413/4/237376/?merchant=Spigen), [13 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76447/229414/4/237378/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76449/229417/4/237383/?merchant=Spigen) If you want a clear case to showcase your iPhone’s original color and design while adding some protection, we recommend the [Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75710/227880/4/237346/?merchant=Amazon) case. It has a transparent hard-plastic back, TPU borders, and air pockets for shock absorption. The buttons are covered too, and they offer a tactile feel. The Camera Control button is also covered, but with a thinner plastic layer, so it remains easy to access and registers all the necessary gestures. A raised lip protects the display and camera. The MagSafe ring on the back offers a strong hold when you’re attaching accessories. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid also comes in other variations, including clear cases with different MagSafe-ring colors such as graphite and gold, and Spigen has frosted versions in black or white. ### Flaws but not dealbreakers Every clear case we’ve tested in the past has been prone to yellowing and collecting grime over time. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid comes with a blue resin coating for anti-yellowing, and we plan to test it long-term to see if that helps to counter the discoloration. That said, we expect that some yellowing is inevitable. ## The protective case we recommend: Smartish Gripzilla ![The Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe, our pick for best iPhone case with added protection, on an iPhone 17.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2025/10/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9467.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024) Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter - Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 17](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75695/227654/4/237385/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75732/227732/4/237387/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75733/227733/4/237389/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone Air](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75734/227734/4/237390/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 16](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65041/207027/4/196479/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65042/207028/4/196480/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65043/207029/4/196481/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65044/207030/4/196482/?merchant=Amazon), [16e](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/73193/222763/4/225704/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 15](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59067/196738/4/178007/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59068/196739/4/178008/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59069/196740/4/178009/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59070/196741/4/178010/?merchant=Amazon) - Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 14](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52871/185186/4/152704/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52872/185085/4/152705/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52873/185086/4/152706/?merchant=Smartish), [14 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52874/185087/4/152707/?merchant=Smartish) - Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for [iPhone 13](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47082/174902/4/136919/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47084/174904/4/136921/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47091/174911/4/136923/?merchant=Amazon) If you need as much protection as possible but don’t want to pay too much for it, the [Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75695/227654/4/237385/?merchant=Amazon) is an excellent pick for the iPhone 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17. The Gripzilla is a slightly taller and thicker version of the Smartish Gripmunk, adding 0.2 inch in height and 0.1 inch in thickness compared with the Gripmunk. The Gripzilla also adds a 1 mm lip to guard the camera bump (or the Pro and Pro Max’s camera plateau) and a 1.5 mm lip to protect the screen from drops. Although the Gripzilla is marginally thicker, it still supports MagSafe charging and protects your action, volume, power, and Camera Control buttons. It has recessed finger ridges on both sides of the case to provide a secure grip for those who are prone to dropping their devices, and in our experience it survived several drop tests from a 6-foot height without any visible damage. ### Flaws but not dealbreakers The Gripzilla’s larger corners give it a little more bulk, a typical trade-off with a protective case. The difference is really noticeable only when you’re holding a Gripmunk or similar slimmer case in one hand and a Gripzilla in the other, but both can slide comfortably into a pocket or purse. ## The thinnest case we recommend: Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case ![The Totallee Super Thin Case, our pick for best iPhone case that is thin and lightweight, on an iPhone 17.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2025/10/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9474.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024) Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter - Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 17](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75711/227683/4/237394/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75738/227739/4/237395/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75739/227740/4/237396/?merchant=Amazon) - Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone Air](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75740/227741/4/237397/?merchant=Amazon) - Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 16](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65045/208246/4/196483/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65046/208248/4/196484/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65047/208247/4/196485/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65048/208249/4/196486/?merchant=Amazon), [16e](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/73194/222764/4/225706/?merchant=Amazon) - Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 15](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76451/229423/4/237400/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76452/229425/4/237401/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76453/229427/4/237428/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76454/229429/4/237429/?merchant=Amazon) - Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 14](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52889/185102/4/237398/?merchant=Totallee), [14 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76456/229432/4/237442/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76457/229434/4/237443/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76458/229436/4/237444/?merchant=Amazon) - Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case for [iPhone 13](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/47112/174932/4/237399/?merchant=Totallee), [13 mini](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76459/229438/4/237445/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76460/229439/4/237446/?merchant=Amazon), [13 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/76461/229442/4/237448/?merchant=Amazon) If you’re seeking the thinnest case you can slap on your iPhone 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17, we recommend the [Totallee Scarf Super Thin Case](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75711/227683/4/237394/?merchant=Amazon). It lives up to its name with a super-thin design that’s only half a millimeter thick, and it weighs less than 1 ounce. Super-thin cases aren’t for everyone, but they can be ideal for people who want to reduce the damage to an iPhone in case of drops without adding too much bulk. Although the protection is minimal here, the Totallee Scarf case offers a bump to guard your camera lenses, covers your phone’s buttons, and provides accessible cutouts for the USB-C port and the Camera Control button. It also supports MagSafe for wireless charging and attaching accessories. ### Flaws but not dealbreakers The Scarf case doesn’t provide the best grip and can’t protect your phone much against drops. It also doesn’t handle scratches well — they can be noticeable in good lighting, an issue we’ve encountered with other super-thin cases as well. Note too that the iPhone 16e version doesn’t come with a built-in magnet, so it can’t work with MagSafe accessories. ## Best accessory-friendly case: Peak Design Everyday Case ![The Peak Design Everyday Case, our pick for best iPhone case that is easy to add accessories to, on an iPhone 17.](https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2025/10/BEST-IPHONE-17-CASES-9469.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024) Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter - Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 17](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75712/227883/4/237459/?merchant=Best%20Buy), [17 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75741/227926/4/237463/?merchant=Amazon), [17 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75742/227928/4/237466/?merchant=Amazon) - Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone Air](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75743/227929/4/237467/?merchant=Amazon) - Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 16](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65053/207031/4/196492/?merchant=Amazon), [16 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65054/206934/4/196493/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [16 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65055/206935/4/196494/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [16 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65056/206936/4/196495/?merchant=Peak%20Design) - Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 15](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59094/196768/4/178020/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59093/196767/4/178021/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59095/196769/4/178022/?merchant=Amazon), [15 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/59096/197678/4/178023/?merchant=Peak%20Design) - Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 14](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52891/185192/4/152716/?merchant=Amazon), [14 Plus](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52892/185105/4/178024/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [14 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52893/185106/4/178025/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [14 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/52894/185107/4/178026/?merchant=Peak%20Design) - Peak Design Everyday Case for [iPhone 13](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48704/181369/4/149885/?merchant=Amazon), [13 mini](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48705/177513/4/178027/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [13 Pro](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48706/177514/4/178028/?merchant=Peak%20Design), [13 Pro Max](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48707/177515/4/178029/?merchant=Peak%20Design) If you want to swap accessories on the fly (or you think you might want to), [Peak Design’s Everyday Case](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/75712/227883/4/237459/?merchant=Best%20Buy) is a great option. It has a TPU border with small ridges along the inner edge that should help absorb damage from drops, a MagSafe-compatible magnet that works with all the MagSafe accessories we tested it with, and a mounting point on the back that securely grips all accessories in place. Some of these attachments include mounts for your [car](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48723/199587/4/149891/?merchant=Amazon), [motorcycle](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48725/177539/4/149892/?merchant=Peak%20Design), and [bike](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48726/220874/4/149895/?merchant=Amazon), as well as a [tripod mounting system](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48727/208251/4/149893/?merchant=Amazon) and a [wallet](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/48728/227936/4/149894/?merchant=Amazon). The connection is strong enough that we have zero concerns about anything unintentionally falling out of place, and the case itself isn’t even noticeably thicker than our [basic case pick](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-iphone-cases/#best-basic-case-for-any-iphone-smartish-gripmunk). ### Flaws but not dealbreakers The Everyday Case is made of vegan leather, which doesn’t feel as luxurious as the real leather on the Mujjo Full Leather Case. We haven’t experienced any issues with scratches or scuffs on this case, but vegan leather is typically not as durable as animal-based leather. We’ll continue to test this case to see how it holds up over a long period. This article was edited by Arthur Gies and Caitlin McGarry.
