The best cases for iPhone 11

Best protective cases for iPhone 11.

Apple's new iPhone 11 lineup hits the proverbial shelves on September 20th, and if you plan on ordering the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max you probably want to protect it with a decent case. Even if you don't mind dents and scratches, it's a good idea to keep your iPhone in good condition if for no other reason than to get a better resale or trade-in value for it, especially considering the hefty price tags on these devices.

Not looking for cases for the iPhone 11? Here are our picks for the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max.

The iPhone 11 starts at $699 and is the first entry-level iPhone to sport dual cameras. As such, it takes cases specifically designed for it, and most of the established case manufacturers have them ready to go. Here are five cases to consider right now, and we'll update the list with any notable cases that come to market in the near future:

  1. Speck Presidio Pro iPhone 11 Case - Speck has been making quality iPhone cases for years, and their legacy continues with the iPhone 11. The Presidio Pro is designed for extreme durability with an outer polycarbonate shell fused to an inner layer of "Impactium" cushioning that allows it to withstand drops of up to 13 feet. A raised bezel protects the screen. It has a soft matte finish that is scratch resistant and has a grippy texture, plus a Microban antimicrobial treatment that provides lifetime protection against stain and odor causing bacteria. Despite all of this the Presidio Pro retains a slim enough form to be pocket friendly.
