Promising review: "Love my phone case!! Seller did such a great job, get tons of compliments on it. Top notch service!! Would definitely recommend to family and friends!!!" —Charlene

Get it from North Legends on Etsy for $27.02+ (available with up to six pets on it and for a variety of iPhone, Galaxy, and Note models).

Promising review: "So far this product is durable, no scratching, it fits my phone perfectly, the clear casing comes out for easy cleaning, it’s not bulky or hard to hold and I’ve dropped my phone countless times and not a scratch on my phone or the case. I 100% recommend this product, it’s super cute, cheap and durable but also actually protects the phone." —Maya Renfro

Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in two colors, for iPhones 6–16 Pro Max, and two other designs).

Promising review: "With this being so inexpensive, I was expecting it to be of very cheap material. That is not the 'case' (sorry, I like puns). I have dropped my phone often because I am clumsy and this has held up great! Also was expecting the holographic effect to be exaggerated in the photos, but it really does look like that IRL. The back of the case has a few battle scrapes from dropping it, but I much rather the case have a couple of surface scrapes than for my phone to have that." —Talia

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available for iPhones 11–16 Pro Max).

This case supports wireless charging and has a raised edge around the camera and front screen for added protection.

Promising review: "I just bought a Samsung S24 Ultra and needed a case fast. I owned this case for my S10 and it wore beautifully until my new purchase. I love the rubber bumpers and protective raised sides of the case on the front and on the camera. Easy secure grip for me as well. It's beautiful and functional. I'm happy I found this type of case again. A fraction of the price and in my opinion just as safe as the expensive Otter brand." —Yummygummybears

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (clip the coupon to save 5-8%; available for Galaxy S21–S24 Ultra and six other designs).

Obviously this isn't going to work with wireless charging because of the 3D bears, so keep that in mind!

Promising review: "I have never gotten more compliments on a phone case! It's very durable so far and is so cute — every time someone sees the back of my phone they compliment it and it's so fun and cute. Highly recommend!" —Haley Schoenfeld

Promising review: "I can’t recommend this case enough!! It came way quicker than I expected (about a week) and it was perfectly packaged. The case is such amazing quality and perfect for a gift!! 100/100 recommend!!" —Vanessa Grimsley

Get it from Youth Collection on Etsy for $11.91+ (available for iPhones 7–16 Pro Max and a variety of case and letter colors).

Keep in mind this isn't going to be compatible with wireless charging given how thick the case is.

Promising review: "I have much more expensive phone cases, but I use this almost exclusively. I get complimented on it every day at least two to three times if not more. The only downside to some is the size, but I like that it’s bigger and I think easier to hold. So easy to take it off in the car to put my phone on the magnetic holder. And pops back on just as easy." —Lauren Cerulli

Get it from Amazon for $9.26+ (available for iPhones 11–16 Pro Max and 18 other designs).

It supports wireless charging.

Promising review: "I debated on this phone case for several weeks. I really liked the way it looked, but from past experiences, I knew that looks did not mean a quality and protective case. I've had to return some because of way too slippery, not enough protection, or the phone not even fitting. But I decided to chance it considering the free return if not satisfied. I am very glad I did. It is not slippery, protects my phone, fits perfectly, and looks really good. It is now my favorite case (I like to have several so that I can change it up once in a while). Go ahead and try one — there are so many styles to choose from. You won't regret it." —Jean C.

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available for Pixels 7–8 Pro and in 37 other designs).

Wireless charging won't work with this because of the 3D hearts, so keep that in mind in case that's a dealbreaker for you. This case has little bumpers around the corners to add more protection.

Promising review: "The cutest case ever, thanks to TikTok!!!! The hearts are 3D so it take a little while for you to get used to. But this case is basically a mirror. It’s plastic but honestly, I find it to be very protective." —Desiree Rogers

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (clip the coupon to save 10%; available for iPhones 11–16 Pro Max).

The case has raised edges around the camera and screen for added protection.

Promising review: "I use it on my iPhone 13 and it fits perfectly. I drop my phone all the time and it hasn’t broken at all since I’ve gotten this case. I also get a lot of compliments on the funky texture." —olivia

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available for iPhones 7–16 Pro Max and 12 colors).

Heads up, wireless charging isn't supported with this case due to the 3D features.

Promising review: "It’s super super pretty, just like the picture shows and it’s actually a lot sturdier than I expected. The little wristlet is also higher quality than I thought it would be. Definitely worth buying!" —Kim Metzger

I was between this phone case and another and I’m just so so happy I went with this one :) It’s sturdy but feels soft at the same time." —Amanda

Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available for iPhones 11–16 Pro Max and two other designs).

Holtz Leather is a family-owned small shop on Etsy that creates handmade fine leather goods. The kickstand and straps are removable.

Promising review: "I can't tell you how much I love this iPhone case! It is stylish, high quality, and comfortable in my hand. The leather is high quality, soft, and the red color is beautifully rich and will age well with handling. The option of using the wrist strap or the adjustable snap strap are perfect for different situations, and the snap strap is very unique. So far, there isn't anything to dislike about it and I don't think there ever will be." —Jacqueline Hunt

Promising review: "It fits nice. It’s very functional, it’s cheap. The design looks so good!! The colors are so cute. I like that it’s clear still so I can have my Polaroid photo on the back of my phone showing still. I love it! It makes me so happy." —Chesster

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available for iPhones SE–16 Pro Max and so many different designs).

Promising review: "Very happy with this case! It’s soft, fits the iPhone XS well, and is easy to clean. The holes on the bottom align with the speakers. The buttons have a nice 'click' feeling to them. There is a lip around the screen and camera that helps protect them from scratches. The 'pink' case is a cute beige/pastel pink. The case does attract a small amount of lint, however it’s very easy to brush it off. I also like how the case is soft, yet doesn’t feel like it’ll make my phone slip through my hands. It’s a very good case for the price — honestly feels better than the Apple case I had for less than half the price!" —J.N.

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 20 colors and for iPhone X).

Promising review: "This phone case was everything I was looking for and more! The tiny flowers are adorable and the yellow really meshes well with my gold phone! The material feels high quality and is also easy to grip as well, giving my phone complete protection without adding any unnecessary bulk. It's also really stylish, and the color hasn't faded after a few months use. Would definitely recommend!" —Mohi

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three designs and for iPhones 11–16 Max Pro & XR).

I've been using BaubleBar's "Block It Out" phone case for almost two years now (how is that even possible?) and it has truly held up. Barely any wear and tear aside from some discoloring along the sides (it HAS been a while). I always get tons of compliments on it and I haven't really had the urge to change my case since getting this one. I even got one for my cousin as a gift — I really do love it! However, it's probably time for a change. I've loved being *extra* and having my name plastered on my phone, so it's probably only natural that I upgrade to this new embroidered version. It's super cute and comes in a variety of designs!

Get it from BaubleBar: the "Sew Cute" design, the "All Smiles" design, and the "Double Up" design for $72 each (available for iPhones 11–16 Pro Max).

The checkered case is on its way to me and cannot wait for it to arrive! I'm a sucker for anything personalized and the fact this is a Disney case really made it a must-have for me. It's made of vegan leather and can be customized with your initials, various colors, fonts, font placement, and five different versions of Mickey. There are so many other Disney cases available from Casetify, so if this design isn't for you be sure to check out their other options.

Get it from Casetify for $42 (available in three colors and for iPhones X–13 Pro Max).

Promising review: "This is my second phone cover for my new iPhone 15 Pro. It's a conversational cover, I get lots of compliments, and it is very good at protecting my phone. I changed out the strap for a leather one as my old one broke off from use. I'm glad it was in stock and still at a reasonable price!" —Midori

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available for iPhones 12–15 Pro Max).

Promising review: "This phone case is great! I like the squiggles and so far so good! The buttons for turn off and volume is easy to press it doesn’t cover the ring button which is good. Really good should buy if you need a phone case. The thickness is just the right amount and it fits perfectly the quality is great so far!" —SavvyMom

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in six colors and for iPhones 6–16 Max Pro & XR).

This is compatible with the iPhone 15 Pro.

Promising review: "I bought this case on a whim when I got a new phone and needed a case quickly before leaving on a trip. Most cases are SO expensive so I was a bit skeptical of the quality, but I've been pleasantly surprised! I've dropped my phone a few times since buying it and haven't had any issues with the case or my phone. And, the iridescence is pretty gorgeous, too. :)" —Christine H.

Get it from Amazon for $14.91 (clip the coupon to save 20%; available in five color combinations).
