Best iPhone 11 cases: For iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max

Just three days before my iPhone 11 Pro arrived, I was harshly reminded of how important it is to have a phone good case when my poor iPhone XS Max decided to dive into the concrete—three days before I was supposed to trade it in. The screen cracked, and in a rarity for me, I wasn’t using a case.

That’s partially why great care was taken to create this list of the best cases for the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Since the designs for the three phones (and cases) are all so similar this year, we’ve compiled them all into one listing and provided links to each model. Over on the right, you’ll see a link to “See More,” and these links will almost always go to the iPhone 11 version. If you don’t see a price listing for a particular model, that means there isn’t one.

Every case listed should work with wireless charging, but if there’s an exception, it’ll be called out. Also, we’ll keep updating this list as we receive new and better cases.

Best protective cases

If you work in rough environments, like to go hiking, or you’re just prone to dropping your phone, then you’ll want to check out these tough specimens. They’re thicker, yes, but you can rest easy once your phone’s armored in them.

Smartish Gripzilla Case

Prices:

• iPhone 11: $21.01
• iPhone 11 Pro: $21.01
• iPhone 11 Pro Max: $21.01

Colors: Black, mint

Highlights: It’s easy to find plenty of “grippy” protective cases out there, but few are as impressive as this one. It’s got a similar grippy feel as what you’ll find in Smartish’s bare-bones (and super affordable) Kung Fu Grip case, but this one also has three grooves for your fingers subtly dented into the edges. Smartish also textured the rough but rubbery exterior for additional grip, and the case maintains a fairly slim profile even with all the grooves and the corner air pockets for additional bounciness.

Smartish says “Gravity doesn’t stand a chance,” but unfortunately the case doesn’t have a visible drop rating. Still, if you’re going for “everyday tough,” this is the case to reaching for.

Razer Arctech Pro Case

Price:

• iPhone 11: 39.99
• iPhone 11 Pro: $39.99
• iPhone 11 Pro Max: $39.99

Colors: Black, white, pink

Highlights: Gamers, you’ll want to check this one out, especially now that Apple Arcade is here. Razer’s Arctech Pro boasts not only the well-known gaming peripheral company’s signature black and neon-green stylings, but it also has a “Thermapene” layer that—along with some vents—can dissipate heat from your phone if you’re intensively playing Sayonara Wild Hearts.

Beyond that, this tough little case can survive drops of up to 10 feet, and the soft, rubbery exterior material keeps your hands from slipping away. The Slim model is similar, but it doesn’t have the same degree of drop protection.
