It can cost a few hundred dollars to repair the newer iPhone screens, so unless you’re absolutely sure you’ll never drop your phone, it’s worth figuring out which case works best for you.

If you’re looking for a simple, durable case, this one is a good option. It’s made from water-resistant leather and will protect your phone from cracks and scratches. It has a simple, classic aesthetic and a good grip that will prevent it from slipping out of your hand. It doesn’t make your phone all but indestructible like some of the heftier options, but it’ll keep it free of minor cracks and scuffs.

Mujjo is a Dutch company that pays attention to details and design. The simple, elegant case features smooth, full-grain leather that fully wraps around your iPhone. Genuine leather ages quite nicely, and after a couple of months, you’ll notice nice natural wear around the edges. The case comes in three striking colors—blue, tan, and alpine green.
