Protect your case on a budget with these thrifty cases

You've laid out a lot of cash for that gorgeous new iPhone XR. You want to keep it safe and looking pristine, but you don't want to spend a lot of money to do so (you've already spent so much money as it is!). Or maybe you like having several different cases to swap out for different looks, and you don't want to break the bank. Either way, here are some of our favorite cheap cases for the iPhone XR.

Price + Quality

Spigen Neo Hybrid

Spigen is a longtime favorite brand; its mix of price and quality can't be beaten. You can't go wrong with any of its cases, but the Neo Hybrid has an unusual and masculine look. The shade shown here is Gunmetal; also available in two other shades, Jet Black and Satin Silver.

$15+ at Amazon

Sparkle time

Spigen Liquid Crystal

I love this sparkly number from Spigen. It's a simple, flexible TPU case for slim protection. If this Glitter Rose Quartz isn't your shade, you can pick up the Glitter Crystal Quartz or Crystal Clear instead.

$13+ at Amazon

Clear highlight

CASEKOO Case

This little number is mostly clear with a highlight of metallic color around the bumper. At 1 mm thick, it will provide some drop protection without much bulk. A raised bezel around the camera provides some protection there. Choose from Red, Black, or Silver.

$10 at Amazon

Kung-fu grip

Silk Grip Case

The Silk Grip Case is designed for — you guessed it — grip. The soft case has textured sides so that it won't fall out of your hands. It comes in several colors, and you can choose from several fun patterns for customization. Bonus: a screen protector is included.

$12 at Amazon

Apple dupe

SURPHY Silicone Case

Modeled after Apple's iconic silicone case, this one is similarly lined with microfiber. I like that SURPHY put the branding on the inside of the case, and it comes in a handful of appealing colors.

$13 at Amazon

Sporty stripes

VRS Slim Case

VRS offers a slim, clear TPU case with just a little something extra: textured stripes and a jaunty red label. The wavy striped texture was created to prevent smudges and scratches. The case is designed to be anti-yellowing as well.

$11 at Amazon

Card holder

Fly Hawk PU Leather Wallet Case

This highly-rated case is made from PU leather. PU leather is also known as bi-cast leather or split leather, and it consists of a split leather backing and a polyurethane coating. This brand is quite popular on Amazon. Choose from Black, Brown, Blue, Khaki, Red, or Gray.

$14 at Amazon

Old meets new

ESR Marble Case

Blending the old world look of marble with the newest tech is a fun juxtaposition. This flexible TPU case from ESR gives your phone a different look without breaking the bank. It comes in three shades of Sierra "marble," Black, Gray Gold, and White.

$13 at Amazon

Tough but pretty

Sonix Case

The Sonix brand cases are sold at high-end department stores. That being said, the reviews also tell us this is a high-end case. It comes in tons of fun colors and patterns but don't let the cute looks fool you. It's military drop-test certified to 6.6 feet.

$19 at Amazon

Inexpensive Folio Wallet

Rssviss Leather Wallet

This case is described as PU leather but also as faux leather, so I'm not sure if there is any natural leather in this case or not. Regardless, it's a neat folio wallet style case that holds your credit cards, can be propped up to watch videos and has a magnetic closure. It comes in just one color in the XR size: black with a sporty red stripe, as shown here.

$18 at Amazon

Basic cheapie

SKTGSLAMY TPU Case

This is your absolute basic TPU case. It's clear, flexible, protective, and cheap. You can see the color of your iPhone XR through the case. No bells or whistles on this one, which is sort of the point.

$8 at Amazon

Wood grain

Mthinkor Slim Wood Case

Woodgrain adds an appealing visual warmth to this TPU case. The Mthinkor Slim Wood Case comes in three different colors/grains: Black Apricot, Black Sandalwood, and Red Sandalwood. Bonus: it comes with a tempered glass screen protector.

$12 at Amazon

Cheap doesn't mean second-rate

Just because your case is cheap, it doesn't have to be simple. Well, it can be if that's what you like. But there are lots of options here without spending lots of money. I'd go for the Sonix Case. It doesn't skimp on quality or protection.

When you are excited about all of these cool designs, it'd be easy to see this and do a mad dash to find your wallet. If you had the Rssviss Leather Wallet, you wouldn't have to look any further than the back of your phone. This may be the most useful case for people who are on-the-go or just forgetful. Hey, don't look at me... I just know my weak points.
