Preferred phone cases

I've used EvuTec Kevlar cases on my last 3 iPhones.

I had Lifeproof cases, but I found that they just didn't hold up. The rubber around the edges broke down. I've had better luck with the Otterbox Defender, even though it's not waterproof like the Lifeproof.

Now that phones have more inherent water resistance, this is less of an issue. Otterbox for me, too, although I do one of the slimmer ones.

I’ve been using this one for the last few months, and have no complaints:

I’ve been using Tech 21 clear plastic cases for many years. I also put a glass screen cover on the phone. I haven’t broken the screen since despite multiple attempts.

I don't have a particular brand favorite. Each time I get a new phone I look all over the web and pick 2-3 possibles and order them. Usually about $20 each which is a lot less than best buy or the verizon store. I think the phone people have a deal w/ the cover people. My Samsung S21 is so slippery as it come it is crazy. 3 months ago I ordered two. One was so difficult to get onto the phone it felt like I was twisting the phone itself rather than the cover. I threw it away.

This case is really grippy while still being able to slide in and out of pockets easily. Works with magsafe and other Qi chargers. Buttons are still very tactile. I've dropped my phone a couple dozen times with no issues. They should cost 2x-3x what they do.

Huge fan of the Smartish Wallet Case. Solid construction and the card sleeve has supplanted my wallet for most days. My license, CPL, and a card or two and I'm off.

Paired with a glass/camera protector and I'm satisfied. Case quality is on par with Otterbox and LifeProof.

This is what I’ve used for my 12 Mini since I bought the phone. I like it a lot. I’ve probably dropped my phone from waist height at least once a week on everything from carpeted wood to bare concrete and the phone is just fine. Combine one of these with the screen protector of your choice and you’re set.

Quad Lock cases work for me. They aren't too bulky for pocket carry and are great for bicycle and motorcycle rides.
