In today’s technologically driven culture, not owning a own cell phone is essentially the same thing as not owning a pair of underwear — not unheard of, but extremely unlikely. Considering basically everyone on the planet has a smartphone, having a reliable case is imperative. This goes double for iPhone users, who see the price of their precious new models skyrocket on an annual basis. There are a ton of great iPhone cases out there — and just as many bad — so you’re going to have to do your homework. Luckily, we did your homework for you. Here are some of the best iPhone cases you can get to protect your precious digital baby.

For something even more durable, you can’t go wrong with the household name in heavy-duty smartphone protection — OtterBox Commuter Series Case. This particular case is for the iPhone XR, but it is available for other models too.

With a limited lifetime warranty, you can rest assured that this OtterBox will keep your phone in tip-top shape for the long haul.
