Long-term testing: While we don't do long-term testing for most cases, we do use some of the most popular cases for longer periods to gauge how they wear over time and see how well our phone holds up during accidental drops with the case on it. That said, we don't do formal drop tests. Only the soft version of the Transparent case has a raised lip to help protect the screen, and its softer build will better absorb impacts than the hard version. Both versions have a slight lip for the camera. You can find the soft Transparent case for the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The Otterbox is among the least obnoxious for non-Apple cases with only a single Otterbox name branding on the right edge under the power button. It's one of two cases here that offer antimicrobial technology, but Otterbox doesn't claim that it actively protects you from common bacteria. Durability: We look at the durability of the case, paying particular attention to corner and camera protection (raised corners on case can help your phone survive face-down falls).

If you buy any old case, however, there's no guarantee that its magnetic connection will be strong enough to securely snap onto a MagSafe charger or accessory. That's why it's important to look for a case that is officially MagSafe-compatible, in addition to being durable and visually appealing. Qi wireless charging, on the other hand, refers to the way that most wireless chargers are built. Nearly all wireless chargers are built using the Qi standard, including MagSafe chargers. If a case supports MagSafe, it supports Qi charging too, but not necessarily vice versa. Grip factor: We review the material the case is made of so we can talk about such factors as how grippy the phone feels in your hand and how protective it is. Peel's Super Thin Case has a slight lip to help protect the screen and camera. Like Totallee, Peel doesn't add branding and markings on its cases, making it the closest case option to achieve the naked iPhone look. It's also one of the least expensive cases here. You can buy it for the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.To access and use all Apple Card features and products available only to Apple Card users, you must add Apple Card to Wallet on an iPhone or iPad that supports and has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.

However, if you want to use those MagSafe accessories without taking your phone out of its case, you need a phone case that's equipped with MagSafe support. The MagSafe symbol is a circle with a short pipe below it. You can see it on clear cases, but it's embedded on the inside of the case so if it's nontransparent, you'll only see it from the inside. TORRAS is well-known for its clear case design. Its Diamond-clear case is lightweight, strong, and fashionable. The brand has used imported German optical polymer materials, enhancing your iPhone’s elegance. Besides, I liked its unique blue-molecule technology and a nano antioxidant coating that successfully prevents 99.9% of yellowing by perspiration and UV light. The Ultra Hybrid is heavy with additional branding and markings. The company's name is on the bottom left edge of the case, which is fine. However, the top right edge of the case says "air cushion technology" in capitals with an arrow pointing at the corner. There's also a random series of numbers etched on the bottom right edge of the case.

The case has raised edges for the screen, and slightly raised edges for the camera. It has minimal bumpers on the rear corners, but they don't really help stabilize the iPhone wobble. MagSafe refers to Apple's proprietary magnetic charging technology, which allows any of the best iPhones to charge at faster wireless speeds — up to 15W with a compatible MagSafe charger. MagSafe also opens up your iPhone to compatible accessories, including cases and portable batteries.Design: We evaluate the more superficial and cosmetic aspects of cases. considering how aesthetically pleasing it is because people do buy cases solely for their colors and the artwork on the cases.
