It’s happened to all of us at least once: One second you’re holding your phone, the next it slips from your hand and face plants onto the ground. You take a deep breath and turn it over, praying that the screen isn’t cracked. 

The takeaway: Naked phones are just reckless, and we’re here to help change that.

Maybe you’re looking for a simple, protective phone case that just gets the job done. Maybe you’re searching a phone case that’s a little quirkier to show off your personality. Whatever the case (ha!), we’ve got you. 

Here are some of our favorite iPhone cases, for every kind of person.

No cats were harmed in the making of this phone case (maybe just your wallet, because it’s so darn cute). You can even choose your own material — a shock-absorbent soft case, an impact-resistant hard case, or a tough case that does both — for this and all Redbubble cases.
