A phone case needs to protect against drops while keeping the phone pocketable and looking considered. MagSafe compatibility is increasingly important for the accessories ecosystem.
Spigen makes the most reliable protective cases and the Thin Fit is their slimmest option โ military-grade tested protection in a profile that adds almost nothing to the phone's dimensions. MagSafe compatible, available in muted colours that complement the phone's original design, and a matte finish that resists fingerprints better than most alternatives.
Nomad makes the best leather phone case using Horween leather from Chicago โ the same tannery that makes leather for premium notebooks and footballs. MagSafe compatible, proper drop protection, and a patina that develops over months of carrying that makes each case entirely personal. The case that makes a phone feel like a considered object.
Bottega Veneta's intrecciato weave applied to a phone case โ hand-woven nappa leather with no external branding. The most recognisable luxury phone case available for people who want their accessories to match their bag. Compatible with wireless charging, soft microfibre lining protects the phone screen, and the construction is the same standard as their handbags.
