Otterbox Defender Series Pro

Pros
  • Premium rugged protection
  • 4x stronger than military drop standards
  • Port covers keep out dust and dirt
  • Made with 50% recycled plastic
Cons
  • Expensive

Otterbox is known for its durable protection, and the Defender Series Pro Case offers rugged protection with its polycarbonate shell, polycarbonate holder, and synthetic rubber slipcover. This case offers four-times as much drop protection as the military standard, with a comfy grip and port covers to keep dust, dirt, and lint out. A raised edge around the camera and screen add an extra layer of defense, while a silver-based antimicrobial additive is woven into the case to inhibit microbial growth and defend against common bacteria.

The in-built holster doubles as a belt clip and hands-free kickstand, and this case is wireless charging compatible. It's also made with 50% recycled plastic. It is the most expensive case on our list, but if you're after serious protection, it's worth every penny.

Ghostek Atomic Slim Case

Pros
  • Up to 12 feet of drop protection
  • Crystal-clear scratchproof back
  • Compatible with wireless charging
  • Non-slip grip
Cons
  • Not the most durable option

With its military-grade aluminum alloy frame and raised shockproof aluminum bumpers, the Atomic Slim Case from Ghostek is a must for those serious about protecting their new phone. This case features a crystal-clear, scratchproof back, with a choice of four colored aluminum bumpers: red, pink, black, and Prismatic.

Where the Atomic Slim case really shines is its ability to protect against serious drops. You get up to 12 feet of drop protection in this slim shell, with a non-slip traction grip to keep your phone firmly in hand. Despite this sturdy dual-layer protection, the case is compatible with wireless charging and PowerShare, so you don't need to keep taking it on and off to juice up your phone.

Crave Dual Guard Case

Pros
  • Pocket-friendly slim profile
  • Improved shock absorption
  • Compatible with wireless charging
  • Wide choice of colors
Cons
  • Not the greatest drop protection out there

Keep your pockets happy and your peace of mind intact with this popular case from Crave. Its slim profile makes it easy to slip into a pocket, while improved shock absorption keeps your phone safe should you drop it. Speaking of drops, this case has a grippy finish with tactcile buttons and boasts dual-layer TPU and PC protection. It's compatible with wireless charging and PowerShare and comes in a choice of nine colors — though we like the sleek simplicity of the Slate variant (pictured).

Speck Presidio Perfect Clear

Pros
  • Won't become discolored or yellow over time
  • Up to 13 feet of drop protection
  • Slim and lightweight
  • Compatible with wireless charging
Cons
  • Scratches more easily than some other cases

Slim, minimalist clear cases don't offer excellent drop protection — but this one from Speck is an exception. Offering up to 13 feet of drop protection, with impact technology to cushion your phone against knocks and falls, it is surprisingly slim and lightweight. The Perfect Clear coating and anti-yellowing materials ensure your phone case will stay crystal clear over time, while Microban antimicrobial treatment reduces bacteria growth on the case by 99%. A raised screen bezel rounds out the protection on offer — and this case is compatible with wireless charging, too.

This slim, light case offers MIL-STD 810G – 516.7 military-grade drop protection, keeping your phone safe should it slip through your fingers. It’s wireless charging compatible, too, but perhaps its best feature is the built-in kickstand that folds out for hands-free video calls or Netflix binges.

Olixar Silicone Case

Pros
  • Soft, comfortable exterior
  • Grippy design

Cons
  • Exterior feels sticky to some

For those who prefer a soft case, Olixar’s silicone case ticks all the boxes.

This slim-fitting case hugs the S22’s lines perfectly, making it a great choice for those who want to slide their phone into a pocket. Raised bezels around the screen and camera keep both safe from drops or bumps. It comes in three soft sorbet shades — pastel pink, mint green, and baby blue — and you can also opt for classic black or forest green.

Cons
  • A bit bulky for some users

If you’re serious about protecting your phone but still want to show off its design, this is the case to get.

Toughened shock-absorbing corners and a raised bezel help earn the MIL-STD 810G — 516.6 military-grade drop protection rating, ensuring your phone stays safe from even the worst drops. The outer TPU bumper features ridges and a nonslip design to keep your phone firmly in hand, while a USB-C port cover keeps out dust and dirt.

This slim, futuristic case has a special interior coating that prevents the case from scratching your phone, plus a dot-matrix pattern on the interior to stop bubbles or a rainbow effect. You can pick this case up in clear with black bumpers or in transparent camo with black bumpers.

The clear shell is made with anti-yellowing materials, so your case will stay crystal clear.

K-max Auto-tok Card Case

Pros

  • Supports wireless charging
  • Gorgeous color assortment
Cons
  • Card case adds thickness

No list of the best phone cases is complete without a card case — and we love this dual-layer case from K-max, with soft TPU and shock-resistant PC construction.
