Come on, do I really need a case?

I have a friend who prides herself on not using a case. For weeks, she's been carrying around a cracked phone she is just too stubborn to repair or replace. I'm biting my tongue not to say, "I told you so," though I certainly did tell her before she dropped her phone that it was going to happen. When I worked at the Apple Store, I saw more cracked/damaged/dropped phones than I could count, and I was a product specialist (salesperson), not a technician (repair person).

But since YOU'RE here to hear my advice, it's this: use a case. There's no excuse to say, "I don't like cases," because there are so many options out there. Even the thinnest, nearly invisible cases are better protection than none at all. I do still recommend getting AppleCare+ because some drops are going to do damage even with a case. But AppleCare+ only gets you a couple of repairs (or replacements), and you'll still need to pay a deductible, plus a repair can take hours out of your day. So, a simple case could save you a lot of time and money.

Do I need to spend a lot on a decent case?

Absolutely not. I have a vast variety of cases in regular rotation; yes, I do match my case to my outfit on the daily. The prices of my favorite cases range from about $10 to $100. An inexpensive TPU case can protect as well as the most elegant top-grain leather, sometimes even better. It's the shape and construction of the case that matters more than price or materials.

How can I tell if a case is protective enough?

A bulky, rugged, heavy-duty case is generally going to be more protective than a thinner case. Whether you go heavy-duty or not, always look for case edges that come up higher than screen level, so if you set your iPhone face down on a table, the screen would not contact the table. You also want the back of the phone case to be thicker than the camera bump to give your camera lenses some protection. It's nice to have some kind of textured grip on the edges of the case to make it less likely that you drop the case in the first place. Also, look for a bumper going all around the phone if you don't want the metal phone bezel to develop micro-scratches. Reinforced corners are also a nice touch since that area is so vulnerable to drops.

Will a barely-there case protect at all?

Barely-there is better than not there at all. It will definitely protect your iPhone from getting scratched. Maybe you'll get protection from very light/gentle drops. I dropped my iPhone in a barely-there case onto the pavement from waist height, and no, my phone did not survive. If I'd been indoors and dropped onto the carpet, it might have. But I can't recommend a barely-there case for drop protection.

Do I need a screen protector, too?

I'd recommend it. If you don't have one, your screen will definitely develop micro-scratches over time. Even if little scratches don't bother you, a screen protector can also help keep your iPhone screen from cracking. When I worked at Apple, I saw several people coming in for a new screen protector because theirs had cracked in a drop... but the iPhone screen was still pristine underneath.

What type of case is best?

That's an entirely personal decision. A heavy-duty case is obviously your best protection against gravity's will, but if you're like me, you really don't like a bulky case. I'll use one if I must, like if I use up my two AppleCare+ incidents, for example. I tend to choose a slim-to-medium case, but you do you. I'm not too picky about materials, I'm fine with TPU if the case is cute, but I also love luxurious leather.

Otherwise, it's all about the feature set you need. Do you plan to use wireless charging? Then don't choose a case with a ring, wallet, or PopSocket on the back. If you don't need to charge wirelessly, then those features on the back can definitely come in handy. Portfolio-style wallet cases are a convenient all-in-one solution if you don't want to carry a separate wallet. They are bulky, though, so a folio is not worthwhile if you don't need that feature.

Which one should you choose?

The Speck Gemshell iPhone 11 Case is a simple case solution for people who don't want to fuss around. It's a trusted brand name, protective without being overly bulky, and reasonably priced. Perhaps best of all, it's clear so everyone can see that you have the latest iPhone (if they couldn't tell from the larger camera area) and the hot color you chose.

On the other hand, I do love the Otter + Pop Series cases. You get a nice, protective case that isn't overly bulky. Wireless charging won't work consistently due to the PopSocket on the back, but that PopSocket makes an awfully convenient phone grip and kickstand. The PopSocket is easy to swap out if you want to express different moods without changing up the case itself.
