Top 20 iPhone XR Cases

T

he iPhone XR is one of the hottest new additions to the Apple family. This cool entry to the family first became available in October of 2018, and has been loved ever since. With a 6.1” LCD screen and glass back, you’re going to be handling this baby with kid gloves unless you’ve got a bit of protection. We don’t mean the kind you slip in your wallet. We’re talking about iPhone XR cases for that beautiful phone.

If you’re prone to fumbling with your phone, you’ll know the sinking feeling when it hits the ground. It doesn’t take much to crack that fragile surface. It leaves you staring at a shattered screen and a phone that’s battered and bruised. Ouch!

Your iPhone XR deserves more than that. It’s a high-class cell phone; one that deserves a bit of respect. This is no cheap piece of plastic, oh no! Our Apple is a sleek paragon of beauty and it’s down to you to make sure it stays that way. Never fear, it’s not as hard as it sounds.

At Men’s Gear, we’re happy to help. We’ve stepped up and reviewed the very best iPhone XR cases on the market and found 20 that’ll work well for you.

What are the main things to consider when buying an iPhone XR case?

Your iPhone XR is gorgeous, simply gorgeous. It almost seems a shame to hide it away in a case, right? However, reluctant you might be to shroud your phone in a case, it’s crazy to consider going without. Your case will offer your cell phone all the protection it needs, giving you the confidence to whip it out and use it.

Not all phone cases are the same and some offer more protection than others. While we never recommend bouncing your iPhone around in lieu of a ball, if you’re likely to be in rougher terrain it’s an idea to look for a more robust cover. Some cases are deliberately designed to absorb more of a shock and offer a greater degree of protection than a flimsier style.

While we’re speaking about style, looks matter. The appearance of your phone case should be snazzy and make you proud to pull it out. Protection may be an essential element but the aesthetics are just as important. If the case is so ugly you have to hide in a corner to take a selfie, it’s time to find a different design.

No one puts the iPhone in a corner…

The last main factor to think about is the overall shape. Perhaps you like a funky flip open case? Maybe you like the simplicity of a hard plastic shell? There’s charging to consider as well, so do you need a design that’s compatible with wireless charging?

Whatever priorities are the most important to you personally, you’ll find one of the cases below will tick all the boxes.

What materials are most iPhone XR cases made from?

You’ll find there’s a big difference in the materials each of the iPhone XR cases is made from. Again, some prioritize looking amazing while others put practicality at the top of the list.

If you want a case which is as tough as angry Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson then look for one that’s made from polycarbonate. There’s a good selection of these but they tend to be functional rather than the best looking. Tough and robust, polycarbonate does the best possible job of sheltering the more delicate parts of your phone.

Flip-style cases aren’t as strong as polycarbonate but what they lack in strength they more than makes up for in style. Typically made from leather or faux leather, these types of cases are best at guarding against accidental scratches and scrapes rather than surviving an apocalypse.

So without further ado, let’s get on with introducing the top 20 iPhone XR cases on the market today.

1) Spigen Crystal Clear

Starting off with a bang, the Spigen Crystal Clear is a great phone case if you want to keep your original look. Slimline, transparent and made from TPU, this case simply clips to the back of your iPhone with no need to remove any of the existing pieces.

The crystal clear design means that once it’s in place you’ll barely know that it’s there, providing subtle strength and protection. You won’t need to spend hours tussling to get the case on either as it’s flexible and easy to manipulate. A great budget buys, these iPhone XR cases won’t break the bank.

However, they still offer intelligent features such as anti-slip technology and reinforced buttons. It’s also compatible with wireless charging. Perfect for low-level protection that doesn’t interfere with the sleek styling of the handset from Apple.

If you love the look of leather but prefer to steer clear of animal products, this is the case for you. Completely vegan-friendly, VRS has created these stylish iPhone XR cases. They’re not just kind to our four-legged friends, but also strong and attractive too. Wowsers!

Shock absorbing materials combine with clever design features such as a raised bezel to give your screen that little extra protection. The faux leather look is slimline and elegant, with a smooth back featuring stitching and a waved texture. This finish is also resistant to smudges and fingerprints too, a great that keeps it looking good.

3) Caseology Transparent Cover

Don’t be fooled by the innocent-looking nature of this case – it’s a serious bit of strength. Transparent to protect the natural good looks of your iPhone, this case is deceptively strong and tough. The clever guys over at Caseology have talked to their followers to find out what people want in a phone case and this design is the result.

It simply clips into position, offering protection without detracting from the Apple design. However, this is one beast of a case, having been made to military grade. The heavy-duty design means it can withstand drops from up to 16 feet, shrugging them off without a scratch.

Although, we don’t recommend you try to check this claim – just take their word for it!

Despite being surprisingly strong, these iPhone XR cases won’t add bulk to your pocket. The design is precise and fits the phone to perfection. Even including cutouts in exactly the right place and no annoying overlaps. Caseology have ensured this case is compatible with the latest wireless charging technology and also works with screen protectors too.

Easy on the bank balance, this is a high-grade case which is quite simply hard to fault.

4) ESR Twinkle Transparent Soft TPU Cover

If you want a case that’s invisible, this clever design by ESR is about as close as you’re ever going to get. Only 1mm thick, it’s transparent and almost impossible to see, instead showcasing the style of the Apple iPhone.

Your iPhone will almost be purring with pleasure as it slips into this case. It’s designed to cling from top to bottom with sharp cut-outs in all the right places. However, it manages to avoid the nasty “wet look” that some transparent cases end up with courtesy of a micro-dot pattern.

Once in place, there’s practically no extra bulk whatsoever, and the light weight of this case means you’ll barely notice it’s there.

However, if you’re wondering now whether it’s worth shelling out for such flimsy protection, think again! Although it’s admittedly very light and flexible, it also offers an excellent degree of protection. The soft TPU back is superior to harder cases.

When protecting the glass casing is has intelligent design features such as raised lips around the camera and the edge of the case. This protects the phone’s vulnerable spots from chafing and guards against wear and tear.

Another budget buy that doesn’t cost a fortune, ESR has created a phone case that will win over a lot of customers. Truly, these iPhone XR cases are spectacular for the price and for the protection they provide.

Truly, this bad boy exceeds military shock standards.

The back is transparent and you’ll have the choice of three colors for the edging. It’s not the most unobtrusive design but it’s attractive and complements the style of the iPhone.

6) Spigen Ultra Hybrid 360

Give your phone the deluxe treatment with our second case from Spigen. Offering protection for both the front and back of the phone, this is the first case on our list which pays more than lip service to looking after the screen.

The trademark Air Cushion Technology® absorbs shock, protecting against damage without looking or feeling too bulky. The frame is made from TPU with the reverse manufactured from polycarbonate. Coupled with a tough tempered glass screen protector and you’ve got multi-layer protection that puts some other phone cases in the shade.

The raised bezels around the camera lens and edges make sure there’s no unintentional contact with flat surfaces to cause bumps and scrapes while the cutouts are well-positioned. The buttons are easy to find with your fingers and respond well to the close-fitting case.

A touch more expensive than others on the list so far, but factor in the extra protection for the screen and it’s a price that’s well worth the extra dollars. It’s pretty easy to prove to your friends that these iPhone XR cases are some of the best you can find.

The question is, do you believe it’s best for your phone?

7) Torras Soft Silicone Case

For a case that feels as good as it looks, check out this little beauty from Torras. Part of the Love Series collection, the liquid silicon exterior is almost impossible to stop stroking. Despite being smooth to the touch, the silicon provides an anti-slip resistance.

This means it’s less likely to slide out of your pocket compared to cases with a shinier surface.

Exceedingly simple to fit, this flexible case glides into position with microfiber grips on the interior which hold it in position. This holds the corners snugly, preventing any ugly gaping around the edges and creating a slimline silhouette.

These iPhone XR cases don’t provide as much protection as other shock-absorbing designs. That said, it’s not ideal for situations where it’s likely to sustain more knocks and falls. However, for everyday use, it’s got lots of clever touches such as the easy-clean surface and raised bezels around the edges and camera lens.

It’s slightly more expensive than other cases we’ve listed so far and it’s not easy to see what extra you’ll get. However, with a choice of colors, it’s an attractive case that works well for low impact protection.

8) Otterbox Defender Series Case

Hold your horses as we’re rolling out the big guns now with this seriously impressive bit of kit from Otterbox. Most know by now that there is nothing truly simple about these iPhone XR cases, despite how may appear.

Part of the Defender Series, this iPhone XR case comes roaring out the blocks, ready to take on the world and up for an adventure. If you want a phone case that’s multi-functional and tough, this is the one for you.

This edition doesn’t have a screen protector which is the only real chink in its armor as otherwise it’s fully kitted out for you to work and play hard. A tough internal shell combines with a sturdy exterior cover, creating a partnership which works hard to protect your phone, whatever you throw at it.

Rugged and ready for action, this is the phone case for the man who doesn’t like to sit still.

Port covers provide additional protection from dirt and grime. Meanwhile, a belt-clip holster doubles up as a kickstand, offering hands-free viewing for media whenever you need it. Legendary protection for the iPhone in your life, proving that there really is a phone case for everyone!

9) Slimline PU Leather Magnetic Flip Case

Fans of the flip design will be delighted to see the first entry on our list for this style of case. Not offering the same shock-absorbing qualities as clip-on frames, flip cases are infinitely more stylish. Offered in four sophisticated colors, this flip case is simple and elegant, with a design that’s minimalist.

Stitching around the edge and a single ridged panel are all the decoration that’s needed in a case where the focus is on the phone. While these iPhone XR cases are not always the most popular option for people, they are one of the best cases you’ll find.

That is mostly due to doing what they are supposed to do, being great at protecting your iPhone.

Manufactured from transparent TPU and PU leather, this wallet style flip case has magnetic closures for extra security. Card slots on the interior and the ability to move into a kickstand position provide extra benefits for hands-free media streaming.

This is an excellent budget purchase for anyone who doesn’t require high impact protection and prefers the flip case style.

10) Tozo Ultra-Thin Hard Cover Case

It’s time to get naked! Whoa there….we mean the phone! Tozo has created what they believe is the thinnest phone cover in the world, describing it as “Thin Like Naked”. Your phone will feel bare to the world while secretly enjoying the best of protection with this iPhone XR case that’s surprisingly strong.

These certainly are strange iPhone XR cases to show off to your friends. You might have a hard job convincing them that it’s there. Once in place, it really is that hard to detect – and no, we don’t need glasses! At just 0.35mm, it’s a ridiculously thin case that has been deliberately designed to put all the focus on the phone itself.

This is rather than a plastic case. We can’t really argue with that!

A matte finish reduces smudges from fingertips and offers anti-glare protection. A raised bezel around the camera provides protection from bumps and scratches on flat surfaces. Meanwhile, the precision design offers an exact fit around the ports.

One cannot argue its protection value for its small and thin nature, plus it works incredibly well.

11) VRS Ridged Flexible Case

VRS yet again brings it with these tremendous iPhone XR cases. It might not be quite as thin as the Tozo case, but it’s not far away! Another very thin phone case, VRS have created a bendy and flexible design which is easy to slip onto the back of your phone.

Unlike other phone cases, it’s not intended to be as invisible as possible. This case features a ridged wave texture that is accented by a cool red label. The end result is subtle yet stylish, giving the best of both worlds.

The TPU construction provides excellent protection against scratches and scrapes as well as low impact bumps. It won’t protect against high impact drops, but that’s pretty standard for this type of case. The rear is resistant to all those annoying smudges and dirt from fingertips, and it’s also scratch-resistant too.

Precision engineering means the snug fit has the holes in all the right places for ports and buttons. Meaning you can use the phone just like normal. A good price for a sporty and contemporary design, this is a transparent case that we like. A lot.

12) Ringke Heavy Impact case

Get ready to take on the world with these heavy-duty iPhone XR cases from Ringke. Seriously strong, and with a surprisingly slimline design, this is a robust phone case that won’t let you down when the going gets tough.

Available in black or purple TPU, this case is flexible and easily stretches into position, providing a snug and comfortable fit. However, don’t let the bendiness of the case fool you as its outer layer is sturdy and a real shock absorber, surpassing military standards.

This is courtesy of the specially designed Advanced Shock Absorption System that is designed to provide protection. This is particularly true of the corners and sides.

This case isn’t just about its rugged design as there’s a number of extra touches that users will appreciate. Precise cutouts mean the ports are fully accessible and buttons can be pressed easily, and without restriction. There’s also a hole for a lanyard that makes it possible to attach your phone to a wrist strap for added protection when necessary.

Tough but understated protection, this phone case is the strong and silent type. Well priced within a budget price range, it’s a top pick for anyone who wants peace of mind.

13) MoKo Crystal Clear Hybrid Case

Another new name for the list, MoKo enters the ring with another transparent case that promises crystal clear vision to show off your iPhone XR. Boy, does it deliver to! These terrific iPhone XR cases are slim and lightweight but have a little extra junk in its trunk around the corners.

As promised, the crystal clear design shows off your phone to maximum effect while still providing the essential protection for the glass back. This TPU and polycarbonate case combines a rigid back with soft and flexible corner bumpers, adding protection exactly where it’s needed.

Overall, however, it’s slim and lightweight. Despite the extra coverage, you won’t feel like you’re carrying a brick in your pocket.

Sensitivity over the buttons ensures reactive controls while the cutouts for the ports are precise and on point. There’s a built-in hole for lanyard attachment, a thoughtful extra that helps to increase the protection.

A budget price completes the top-notch package that is excellent for protecting your phone against scratches and low-level knocks. There’s only limited protection for higher impact drops. However, for this style of iPhone case, that’s not a big surprise.

15) Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro Full Body Case

The Unicorn is back with another beefed up design from the boffins over at Supcase. With multilayered protection and a range of clever accessories, these iPhone XR cases are worth lingering over.

Made from multiple layers of TPU and polycarbonate, this case has been tested up to 20 feet. While it’s unlikely that you’re going to drop your phone from that height, it’s reassuring to know that it’s got that level of protection.

As well as looking out for the glass back and corners, this case has got the front covered with its built-in screen protector. An all-around case for your XR, you won’t need anything else to enjoy the ultimate protection.

16) Speck Presidio Pro

If you want excellent protection but without carrying around a case that looks like it belongs in the military, the Presidio Pro from Speck is an option worth a look. On the outside, it appears like any silicone rubber case but its secret weapon is that it’s surprisingly tough and robust.

Available in a wide range of seven different colors, the soft and flexible case is easy to slip around the iPhone. The strength comes from its dual composition, an inner layer of IMPACTIUM molded with an outer shell of polycarbonate.

Fused together, these two layers combine to create a case that’s extremely strong and with the ability to absorb shocks well.

The shock absorption works due to the qualities of the IMPACTIUM interior that features ridges which compress to disperse any impact. Tested up to 10 feet, it’s high enough for most mortal men. Though we may need to consider another case for Hagrid and possibly Yao Ming, we’re not sure.

The case is also grippy so it’s not likely to slide out of your hand easily. Throw in raised bezels for superior screen protection and a scratch-resistant design and this case is a winner.

If you don’t mind a bit of extra weight, this phone case makes it well worth your while with a beautiful design that thinks of everything.

With an incorporated kickstand for hands-free use, three card slots, a separate cash pocket, and a magnetic fastening, this case is packed full of features. Precision cutouts mean you retain full access to all the ports and buttons without the hassle of having to take the case off again. Phew!

18) ESR Marble Effect Soft Phone Case

Yes, that’s right – we liked ESR so much we couldn’t decide on which one was their best case, so here’s another! This design is instantly striking with a marble effect that sets it apart from the rest of the pack.

These iPhone XR cases are a hybrid with a soft TPU frame and a tough tempered glass back, giving the best of both worlds. This mimics the iPhone’s own glass back but adds in scratch resistance and a tougher composition. This case doesn’t offer maximum impact resistance when dropped from great heights compared to certain other cases.

However, it performs pretty well for this style. It offers good shock resistance and reinforced corners that help to cushion any blow. Raised edges around the camera lens and screen mean there’s less chance of abrasions and scrapes, providing protection while on flat surfaces.

Top 25 iPhone XS Max Cases

D

og used to be man’s best friend – but that’s not true anymore. Not for guys who own an expensive iPhone XS Max anyway. Their new best friends are clearly found in the new iPhone XS Max cases. These expensive phones need protecting from dust, sand, lint, everyday bangs, scrapes and of course, the number one killer of all smartphone screens – accidental drops.

Whether you’re just a regular guy navigating the urban jungle day in and day out, or a competitor in the mobile phone throwing world championships – yes this actually exists! You’ll need a case to protect your valuable iPhone XS Max, as this phone is too expensive to just leave unprotected.

The smartphone case market is saturated with manufacturers telling you about every molecule and fiber in their product and why you should buy it. All these details can be quite confusing. To make life easier, we at Men’s Gear had our own iPhone XS Max throwing championships.

That’s not entirely true but we kinda wish it was. We did get together, though, to take a good look at what’s currently being offered to you Apple heads.

After much deliberation, we finalized our top 25 iPhone XS Max cases. We know… 25! There’s just so much choice out there, but we were decisive we promise!

What Are The Main Things To Consider When Buying An iPhone XS Max Case?

When looking into iPhone XS Max cases to buy, there are a couple of important considerations. The biggest question of all is to ask yourself what you want from a case. Do you just want the ultimate in smartphone protection? Or are style and specific features important to you as well?

Some cases focus on making sure your iPhone is as secure as possible. These ones usually wrap around your phone giving it back, screen and edge protection. Some other cases offer their protection alongside other uses, such as doubling as a wallet to keep transport passes, cash, and cards at the ready.

Some even have a kickstand to give you handsfree video streaming and video calling.

There’s one specific feature you’ll have to consider if you charge your phone in a certain way. If you buy yourself a snazzy wireless charger, you’re going to have to get a case that is wireless charging compatible. Unless you want to take the case off each night and on again each morning? We thought not.

What Materials Are Most iPhone XS Max Cases Made From?

Most iPhone XS Max cases have been designed to absorb shock upon impact. As a result, a lot of models make use of polycarbonate materials. One of the most indestructible on our list (product number three for the impatient man) even uses air pockets to help with shock absorption.

Those cases that have a secondary function as a wallet are often made with artificial or genuine leather to add to their image and design. The leather is sometimes reinforced in certain areas to add durability. They may not be as protective as cases which solely focus on their primary function as a case.

Overall though, it’s not the worst material to settle on despite its use being incorporated on its secondary function as a leather wallet rather than a phone case.

We’ve got a lot to get through so that’s enough of the details for now. You’ll learn a lot more as you drop down your list of 25 unread messages…

1) Spigen Ultra Hybrid

One of the first iPhone XS Max cases we’d like to show you is this terrific design made by Spigen. The case has a hybrid design to take care of the rear assembly of your phone and a bumper to protect the edges. The back is rigid for solid protection while the bumper offers a little more flexibility.

This is a cost-effective option that comes available in three colors.

It doesn’t look or feel bulky with its slim fitting that will make gripping the phone much easier. Some of the best features of the phone are a raised bezel which enhances the protection of your camera lens and wireless charging compatibility. If you have one of those spaceship-like chargers to keep your phone full of energy, this is a great choice for you.

It’s been made with durable and hard materials such as polycarbonate to withstand clumsy dropping after too many beers. It even has screen protection so you avoid scratches by loose change, car keys or unsuspecting pets. This doesn’t mean you won’t be able to swipe through your social media easily though.

The screen protector is still sensitive enough to trace your finger movements. One final feature worth the column space is that this case also allows wireless charging with most third-party models. What d’ya reckon guys?

3) iPhone XS Max Limitless 2.0

The guys over at Mous like to test their product in somewhat Top Gear fashion. They take hammers to the screen and like to throw their phones over hard terrains. All we know is that their product seems to work very effectively.

Why are their iPhone XS Max cases so durable? Well, they use AiroShock technology. Inside their cases, they have air pockets running down a polymer chain. The air pockets and polymer work together to absorb any impact when the phone is dropped or possibly assaulted with a hammer. We don’t follow you around to know what you do!

You can see random members of the public testing their cases on YouTube if you have the time.

This particular model in their iPhone XS Max cases line has a part to protect your rear assembly. It also includes a bumper to guard your ports and a screen cover for all-around protection. They are made with unique materials that give them a stylish aesthetic.

You can even get one made from seashells! What’s a little more unique is that each case has a hidden magnet inside so you can add more accessories to keep your keys and other valuables secure with it in one neat package.

This is the first of the leather iPhone XS Max cases we get to show you, and we’re huge fans. You can get it in a brown or black color which looks sleek and stylish. With most leather cases, they also feature as a wallet. What came first: the wallet idea or the leather idea?

We think we know. The leather has been cut in certain places, so you can access all your ports and button without having to remove it from the case.

One surprising thing about this case is that despite being made from leather, it also has wireless charging capabilities.

As we explained, this case does also feature as a wallet. It has a side pocket and space for three cards, so you can take the bank, gym and your subway pass with you at all times. What’s even better is you can use it to hide your credit card from your better half. What’s not to like?

5) ESR Slim Clear Case

Just like the wet look went out of fashion in hair gel, the same may be happening with phone covers and those wet looking bubbles that seem to accumulate on some models. These iPhone XS Max cases are the answer to that problem. You can get your hands on one of these cases in up to three styles, all have a microdot pattern to avoid that wet look.

Other than that, this phone is a solid choice for any guy wanting a slim case that won’t add bulk to your pockets. In fact, it’s made from soft materials and is only 1mm thin! This doesn’t take away from its durability though. Your Instagram game will still be in top form after drops as it even has a raised part in front of the camera for additional protection.

This is for the guy who likes the slim fit shirt and skinny jeans look. Probably.

Having a screen cover does not detract away from being able to operate your device seamlessly as sensitivity is maintained. Like many other iPhone XS Max cases, the camera area has a raised bezel so it doesn’t come into contact with dusty surfaces or lint. We’d choose the red one, which one would you go for?

8) Speck CandyShell Case

Sometimes a phone case includes a protective screen, but this may compromise on touchscreen sensitivity. Speck may have come up with somewhat of a solution. Instead of adding a protective layer to your iPhone’s screen getting in the way of operation, they’ve raised the surrounding bezel, so the bezel takes any frontal impact rather than the screen.

This has led to some wild popularity for their iPhone XS Max cases. To make them more popular, Speck added two layers of protection for the rest of the phone. The outer layer is made from polycarbonate which is designed to disperse any impact while the inner layer is designed to absorb the shock as it passes through.

This is something a bit different and definitely shows some more innovation!

9) i-Blason Shock Reduction Case

This phone case from i-Blason does in one part what the previous phone case took two parts to do. It’s made from a polycarbonate material which is hard and protective but includes a softer TPU core to safeguard your smartphone. It also makes use of a screen protector.

Thus, the only cracks you’ll experience are when you crack open your next beer while watching Sunday Night Football. You can even charge it wirelessly and clip it to a belt!

That’s not all, we’ve saved the best for last. The back of these iPhone XS Max cases has a stand, so you can actually position your phone to watch videos. You can even Skype with friends and colleagues completely handsfree too. In a crowded market, this feature gets the Men’s Gear nod of approval.

Next up for a Men’s Gear inspection was this slim-fit case by Caseology. Caseology sound like a brand that knows a thing or two about cases and by the looks of this case they do. You can grab it in one of four colors for an exceptional price.

If you did grab one you’d be unlikely to drop it either. These iPhone XS Max cases have a fantastic gripping design with grooves all down the back.

13) Speck Clear Case

Speck had some guys tucked away in a lab for a day dropping phones wrapped in this clear case. Their results proved that this is a robust case that does the job. It’s priced at a little more than we’ve predominantly seen, but still offers fantastic value for money.

These iPhone XS Max cases are manufactured with a material that disperses shock to reduce heavy impacts in one place. This helps to protect your iPhone from significant damage. Like the previous Speck model we featured, this design also has a raised bezel surrounding the edges to protect your screen.

The most notable aspect of their design is that it’s clear. They even promise that UV rays won’t turn it a funky yellow color that can be the norm with some phone cases. Thumbs up or thumbs down fellas?

14) RANVOO Minimalist Case

The protection afforded by this RANVOO case comes down to four clever layers. The basic layer is joined by a coating to reduce discoloration, one to prevent scratches and one to provide a cool matte finish.

Bezels have been raised to provide extra protection for your iPhone’s screen and camera. One of the unique features of these iPhone XS Max cases is they’ve added a slit in the corner. This will allow you to install and remove it easier. This slit provides more convenience without detracting from any protection.

There isn’t any song and dance with this product. It’s a very simple and elegant phone case for an urban dwelling gent. Especially one that owns a wireless charger!

15) Matone Crystal Clear Slim Case

When your phone drops to the ground there are three things that are guaranteed to happen. Time will stand still, your heart will miss a beat and the first point of contact will be one of the four corners. This is why Matone designed their iPhone XS Max cases with reinforced bumpers at each corner.

If the unlikely is to happen and your phone lands 100% flat, your screen and camera lens will be protected via a raised bezel. This model has a slim cover which is transparent to show off the authentic beauty of the iPhone. One last feature worth pointing out is that it has a dot design to prevent those unsightly bubbles showing up.

16) Ringke Fusion Transparent Case

This Ringke Fusion Transparent Case has a lot going for it. A lot of its features are nothing we haven’t already explained – we’ll reel them off in a second. What is new, is that you can attach a lanyard to the case and phone. The lanyard hole allows you to attach a lanyard of your choosing to match your phone and be another line of defense when accidents occur.

As your phone drops your lanyard can prevent it from hitting the floor, saving it from eye-watering damage.

Don’t worry if you don’t wish to add a lanyard because it’s been made with a dual layer of premium TPU. If you do drop your phone wearing one of these iPhone XS Max cases without a lanyard attached, there’s a strong chance you’ll get away with it without any damage whatsoever.

You can pick this case up in transparent design or a really awesome smoke black color.

This is all to provide outstanding protection that has passed military grade standards during drop tests. In fact, it’s been tested from heights of 3 meters so it’s perfect for giants as well as regular men.

Additionally, it has raised elements to protect your screen and an internal rubber lining to help absorb shock.

One thing it does have we’ve yet to see is an audio redirection. Not all iPhone XS Max cases will require this but instead of brushing over the issue, X-Doria has added a small channel. This is so the sound can be redirected forward towards your ear instead of downward and upward. Nice touch

23) RANVOO Protective Bumper

This bumper-only design by RANVOO has a lot of what we already saw including exceptional and durable materials designed in a way to afford peak protection. These iPhone XS Max cases have become quite popular, and looking at their features, we can see why.

Instead of reeling these off to you again, hit the pros tab below and we’ll focus on two of its most innovative features instead.

They’ve included a silicone junction in a key area to prevent your phone case reducing your mobile reception. This can be a common fault with some cases and this clever way of overcoming the issue will keep you in the loop at all times. They’ve opted for just a bumper rather than an all-out half-body or full-body case, which is interesting for sure.

RANVOO chose to maximize heat dissipation, so your phone stays cooler. No overheating timeouts needed here!

Despite being a clear case, you won’t get any of those yellow shades appearing on it. They swear it’s an anti-yellowing case, even though they don’t say how their long-term customers are backing them up. It’s also got wireless charging compatibility. Shrug of the shoulders or a big yes?
