Promising review: "Love it! Only have had it for about two weeks but it’s doing the job so far and my toddler has dropped it a couple times and my phone and case are still in super good condition " —Grisbel
Get it from Amazon for $19.94 (available in 19 styles and for iPhones SE and 8).
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 $12.99 (available in 20 colors and for iPhone X).
Promising review: "Just as pictured. Amazing pastel colors. I like the matte on the transparent area. Very sturdy, my phone falls more times than I can count but is still alive! The side buttons glow under LED lights :)" —Yasselly

Promising review: "I am one of those people who constantly drops their phone, and this case has stayed durable through that. I’ve been a customer of of Otterbox for several years, and I love the case because the protection that it provides. You don’t have to stress out when you drop your phone or iPad or whatever because it’s safe (especially with toddlers and younger ones). They can be expensive, but they are worth every single penny." —R. Crutcher
Get it from Amazon for $36.33 (available in 12 styles and for iPhone 11).
Promising review: "I upgraded to a new iPhone over the weekend and immediately ordered this case. I used an Otterbox Commuter Series case on my last iPhone and it saved it hundreds of drops. The previous case cracked and chipped on a couple of corners, but my iPhone 6S was in perfect condition when I removed the case to trade in. That made the case for my new iPhone 8 an obvious choice. The new case took a little effort to install (as it should being a snug fit), but fits perfectly. I haven't dropped my iPhone yet (*knock on wood*), but am confident Otterbox will protect it when I inevitably do." —Sarah Coggins
Get it from Amazon for $22.80+ (available in six styles and for iPhone SE and 8).
Promising review: "Touching this case for the first time cemented my decision on going down this path. The yellow is gorgeous in person. The softness of the silicone is among the best I’ve ever felt. The lip is very much appreciated. I know that we have Ceramic Shield now but I have little faith in this new material and can rest assured putting the phone down on the table leaves it a nominal height above getting scratched up." —Gerardo Merenco
Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in 21 colors and for iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro).
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, the "Double Up" design, and the "Better Together" design for $68 each (available for iPhones 7–12 Pro Max).
Promising review: "This case came in AMAZING condition! It arrived to me in a cute bag with a thank-you note! I love the case, but that thank-you note just added a bit of spice to the whole experience! LOVE IT! Highly recommend to shop!" —Kiara M.
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 42 designs and for iPhones 7 and 8).
Promising review: "This is single handedly the most beautiful, sweet case I have ever seen. For $9 it is pretty dang sturdy. The outlining (purple in my case) is rubber so it is pretty flexible and the back, oh my lordy the back, it is so beautiful and just the right amount of sparkle it sent me into a sparkle coma and revived me all at once. Stunning." —Jessie Bales

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 $50 (available in four colors and for iPhones X–12 Pro).
Promising review: "Oh boy I don’t even have the words to explain how much I LOVE this phone case. I’ve been eyeing it for a long while and finally decided to treat myself! The way the case was designed with the bat hanging upside down, I will admit I was a little confused when I first put it on I kept holding it upside down. However, once I finally trained myself on which way the phone sits upright, the design made sense. It sits super comfortable in your hand. It’s super durable and shockproof! Take it from someone who drops their phone literally 20x or more a day! I’ve gotten so many compliments on this phone case. I wouldn’t be surprised if a few people snagged it after seeing mine! Thank you for an awesome phone case at an unbeatable price!!" —Valerie
Get it from Amazon for $19.70 (available for iPhones 6–XR and Samsung S8).
Promising review: "I love these cases! They're true to their description, they fit right for the iPhone XR, they're good quality and have a matte soft feeling, and they cover the entire phone. I was skeptical about buying these cases or package because two are for $10 since they had no reviews, but I'm glad I bought them because they're perfect. Also, the shipping was accurate. It said it they would come in a week and they did." —Lily

Promising review: "I've had a Speck case for every iPhone I've ever owned and aside from the Candyshell (w/o grip) model being prone to scratching, I have nothing bad to say about their products. I typically wait a bit to review stuff I buy here, but as soon as I slipped this onto my phone I was once again in love. The grips offer a little added assurance against drops and I know if I DO drop it, it will be well protected by the durable plastic and raised lip around the screen. Bravo, Speck. You've done it again." —Jason Murphy
