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

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

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).

  • Slim and lightweight
  • Compatible with wireless charging

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.
