Looking for a new case to protect your
brand new iPhone SE? AppleInsider has rounded up a list of top cases
to keep your 4-inch Apple handset shiny and ding-free.
With the recently-announced Apple
iPhone SE now shipping, protective cases marketed as SE-compatible
are making their way into the supply chain. But with so many design
similarities to the iPhone 5s, will a 5s case fit an SE phone? The
answer is yes. So if you have an existing cover, chances are it will
work.
Now that customers are getting their
hands on the Apple iPhone SE, new accessories are becoming readily
available. And even though 5s cases will fit the SE, some may want a
brand-new look for their new gadget. Here's a list of the best iPhone
SE cases you can buy right now.
Apple
Straight from the source, the iPhone SE
Leather Case is designed by Apple for the SE. Available in two colors
(Black and Midnight Blue), the dye is actually infused in the
European leather. The lining is made of soft microfiber to protect
your SE from scratches on the inside as well, making this a luxurious
option for iPhone SE users.
Both the Black and Midnight Blue
versions sell for $39 at the Apple Store.
X-Doria
Want to protect your iPhone SE, but
don't want to deviate from the original color? The X-Doria Bump Gear
Plus comes in four shades to match the SE's color palette. Featuring
an ultra-slim design that stays true to the SE's original form for a
sleek feel, the case is made of anodized aluminum with a soft TPU
lining for added protection. There's also access to all ports and
buttons.
The X-Doria Bump Gear Plus comes in
Silver, Space Gray, Gold and Rose Gold with a price of $24.99 on
X-Doria's website.
Case-Mate
The Barely There Case by Case-Mate
features an impact-resistant hard shell that covers the back and
sides of the iPhone SE with an ultra-slim profile. The SE's screen is
also protected due to the case's lay-flat bezel that extends above
the display in an effort to save it from scratches.
The Barely There Case for the iPhone SE
comes in Clear and Black; both are available for $35 at
Case-Mate.com.
If you're looking for a protective
cover that stands out in a crowd, the Case-Mate Brilliance Case is a
perfect fit. The dual-layer design is made of genuine crystal (for
added shimmer) with a faceted metal accent piece that coordinates
with Gold and Rose Gold models. The ultra-slim case also has an
interior lining for increased impact resistance and shock dispersion.
The Case-Mate Brilliance Case comes in
two colors (Rose Gold and Champagne) and sells for $80 on Case-Mate's
site.
Griffin
Hard pavement has met its match with
the Griffin Survivor Core case. If you're prone to dropping your
phone while out and about, the Survivor Core is designed to withstand
contact from parking lots, sidewalks, etc. According to Griffin, drop
tests were performed from a height of 6 feet with the clear
polycarbonate shell protecting the back of the device and TPE rubber
edges shielding edges and corners upon impact. This rugged case has
open ports, while the Griffin All-Terrain option found below takes
protection one step further.
The Survivor Core comes in seven colors
and retails for $29.99 on Griffin's site.
OtterBox
For business users, outdoor enthusiasts
and SE owners who want strong protection, the OtterBox Defender
Series Case provides ample coverage. The sturdy case has gone through
extensive testing by OtterBox (24+ tests spanning more than 238
hours) for Certified Drop+ Protection approval. There are three
layers: an inner shell, outer slipcover and screen protector. On top
of that, port protectors keep dirt and debris out and absorb drops
during life's adventures.
The Defender Series Case is available
in multiple colors starting at $21.97 on Amazon.com. Or design your
own at OtterBox.com and save 10% plus free shipping with exclusive

Love adding an artistic element to your
device? Speck's CandyShell Inked takes fun patterns and incorporates
them into the Inked line while still maintaining military-grade
protection. The soft acrylic interior minimizes impact, while the
polycarbonate exterior features high-res graphics that are scratch
and fade-resistant.

variety of colors and patterns with a starting price of $25.99 at
Amazon.com. For more color options, visit Speck's site directly.
