How do you choose the right phone case for your iPhone 12/12 Pro?

When you choose an iPhone 12 case, the most important thing to consider is the type of case. Choose a case type that's suitable for your usage situation. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Want a case that leaves your screen free?
• Want the extra functions and protection of a front flap?
• Want to easily switch between 2 types of cases.?
• Do you use many MagSafe accessories?

Note: the iPhone 12 has the exact same size as the iPhone 12 Pro. This means that all iPhone 12 cases are also suitable for the iPhone 12 Pro. There are other cases for the small iPhone 12 Mini and the large iPhone 12 Pro Max.

A back cover covers the back of your device, but leaves your screen free. This allows you to check your notifications or the time. Some brands like Apple or Azuri mostly make small, light back covers that provide average to decent protection. Sturdy back covers with thick edges by Otterbox, GEAR4, and Tech21 provide good protection, for example. These prevent fall damage in case of a fall up to several meters. In addition, they have high raised edges that provide protection against scratches on the screen.

A book case has a flap that protects the screen of your iPhone 12. In that front flap, there's usually space for cards. When you open the flap, you can use it as a stand to put your iPhone upright to watch a video. This front flap usually makes book cases thicker and heavier than back covers. Otterbox, UAH, and Tech21 make book cases with fall protection. DBramante distinguishes itself by using leather of excellent quality. The leather gives your case a more luxurious look and stays beautiful for longer.

A 2-in-1 case is a book case with a removable back cover. During the day, you can enjoy some extra protection and the card holder in the book case. When you're at home on the couch, you don't need those extra functions. Click the magnetic back cover out of the book case and you're left with a light compact case that's easy to hold. Cases by both DBramante and Decoded are made of high-quality leather. Decoded 2-in-1 cases provide more protection, because they also prevent fall damage.

Thanks to the MagSafe magnet in your iPhone 12, you can firmly click MagSafe accessories onto the back of your device. Some cases by Apple and other brands also have a built-in magnet. These cases wrap around your iPhone extra firmly and are guaranteed to work well with your MagSafe accessories. You can easily click your MagSafe charger or card holder onto your case. Except for a few thick cases, cases without a magnet are compatible with MagSafe. Some accessories don't attach as firmly as with a case with a magnet.
