What to Look for in an iPhone 15 Pro Case in 2024

If you’ve got a case for your iPhone 14 Pro lying around, you may wonder if it will fit the iPhone 15 Pro. The new phone is ever so slightly smaller than its predecessor, with a different shape to the curves on the edges, so while you may be able to make it fit, it won’t fit securely. If you intend to use your phone with any regularity, you’ll need a new case.

One of the major differences between cases is the thickness and form factor, so you’ll need to decide what you’re looking for here first. Thinner cases may not offer quite as much protection, but they’re far less bulky and make an easier fit for pockets. Bulkier cases offer more protection and features, but they will make your phone feel considerably larger.

If you frequently drop your phone or use it on a heavy-duty worksite, you’ll want extra protection. Rugged cases are bulkier than normal cases, but they offer significantly more protection, which can keep your iPhone 15 Pro in working order well beyond what a typical case would do. On the other hand, these are even tougher to fit in a pocket or bag.

You’ll also need to consider the material you use. Many cases are made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), sometimes in conjunction with plastic composite. This offers plenty of protection and is fairly affordable, but there are other options like leather, fabric, and even cases that use wood for some extra style points.

You’ll also need to decide on the type of look and special features you want in a case. Clear cases let you see your iPhone’s finish while keeping it protected, while others use built-in magnets to support Apple’s MagSafe accessories. Other cases double as wallets, letting you leave your normal wallet at home.

Finally, you need to choose how much you want to spend. Affordable cases still offer plenty of protection, while paying more will typically get you super-rugged builds, fancier materials, or extra features.
