![]() Broad aesthetic appeal: Although you can find a case for any aesthetic preference, we looked for cases that have simple, elegant designs-ones that would appeal to most people-rather than models that adhered to specific aesthetic choices.Additionally, the case shouldn’t prevent you from using any gestures, an especially important consideration with the iPhone XS, XS Max, and X, which rely on an upward swipe from the bottom edge of the screen as a primary interaction. As for the Grip2ü Boost - iPhone 12/12 Pro - Macworld, a source that conducts reliable hands-on testing, has. We verified that each of these features works with the case on. The Moshi Capto Case - iPhone Xs Max managed to earn a spot in roundups from two sources that are known for their trustworthy review methodology - Digital Camera World and PCmag - but fell short of making it to the top of their lists. No wireless interference: A case shouldn’t reduce performance with any wireless signals-Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, NFC (near-field communication, necessary to use Apple Pay), or Qi wireless charging.We used a 0.85-millimeter feeler gauge, per Apple’s guidelines, to test each case. Raised front lip: As Apple’s case guidelines (PDF) explain, “xposed glass on the Apple device must not come within 1 mm of a flat surface, such as a table or floor, in any orientation when the case is attached.” This lip around the edges of the phone’s display helps prevent cracked screens-one of the biggest worries with any smartphone-but it also helps to keep the screen from getting scratched if you place the phone screen-down.On the other hand, we didn’t consider cases with a circular opening to expose the Apple logo on the back of the phone because they offer less overall protection with no real benefit. We also like cases that don’t leave the top or bottom edge of the phone exposed, but that isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker. The best provide button protection with tactility that mimics-or in some instances even enhances-the way the buttons feel on a bare iPhone. ![]() Full coverage: As a general rule, the more of the phone that a case protects, the better we prefer cases that protect everything but the phone’s screen.(Even a heavy-duty case can’t guarantee that your phone will survive every scenario intact-for example, a direct hit to the screen will still do damage.) The obvious exception here is superthin cases, which purposely compromise some drop protection in favor of a thinner profile. We didn’t conduct drop tests, but we did look for cases that would obviously be able to withstand some impact. Drop protection: We sought models that can adequately protect a phone without adding unnecessary embellishments or too much bulk.
