After all, everyone’s case tastes are totally different, and it is definitely powerful to label one iPhone 15 case as the very best total, however I’ve put a few of my favorites, like Otterbox’s Symmetry Collection Smooth Contact, Figura circumstances and Speck’s Presidio ClickLock circumstances, on the prime of this listing. (Speck’s proprietary ClickLock MagSafe system works not solely with its ClickLock equipment, which “lock” onto the again of your cellphone, however different MagSafe equipment.)
As a result of individuals’s case preferences differ broadly, I’ve compiled a number of case choices, from worth picks to more durable premium circumstances to slimmer fashions. I not too long ago added Casetify’s Ripple case to the listing.
Observe that many iPhone 13 and 14 circumstances will match the iPhone 15 (and plenty of iPhone 14 Plus circumstances ought to match the iPhone 15 Plus). Nonetheless, the brand new iPhone 15 Professional fashions have changed the mute change with a brand new programmable motion button.

For individuals who personal the bigger and heavier iPhone 15 Plus or 15 Professional Max, it may be arduous to rely in your cellphone staying on a MagSafe automotive mount, particularly when you hit a bump. That is the place Speck’s ClickLock car-vent mount helps. And the pockets accent actually stays on the again of your cellphone — you do not have to fret about it slipping off if you put your cellphone in your pocket.
All the brand new Speck fashions have good drop safety (13 to 16 ft, relying on the mannequin) in addition to Speck’s Microban antimicrobial safety. Irrespective of which mannequin you select, Speck typically provides a reduction for first-time patrons buying by its web site.

Pitaka circumstances are very skinny but provide a little bit extra safety than another very slim circumstances.

That mentioned, we do not do formal drop exams.
- Waterproof circumstances: Only some totally waterproof circumstances can be found, however If the case is meant to be totally waterproof, we check it by submerging it in water.
