1. A gleaming Getta Grip case that features an elastic piece on the back for extra security while holding your phone.

amazon.com

“My Getta Grip phone case has never failed me! It has an elastic piece at the back where you can slip a few fingers in so you can literally get a good grip of your phone. The front of the phone has good protection as well, so it’ll never get scratched or cracked. But the best part about this case is that I’ve never dropped my phone on my face while laying in bed since I purchased it.” —VMC

Get it from Amazon for $29.95. Available in five colors.

2. A clever Incipio Stashback case that lets you store as many as three cards or IDs in its rear compartment.

amazon.com

“The Incipio Stashback case is great! I rarely use a wallet anymore since I can fit my credit card, student ID, and real ID all into the back. It’s not bulky like a lot of other wallet cases and is super secure. I’ve only ever had two phone cases, and the only reason I ever got another is when I upgraded phones. It is the best iPhone case I’ve ever bought.” —Ninae

Get it from Amazon for $29.98. Available in four colors.

3. A clear Mosnovo case with gorgeous white Henna detailing.

“My favorite case right now is the Mosnovo clear bumper case in 'White Henna'. About three days after I got my brand new iPhone 7 Plus, I dropped it and shattered the screen. I was devastated and immediately I started searching to find a new case. I cross-referenced all my Amazon searches and finally found this one! It’s amazing quality and they have amazing customer service. They included a phone stand for free and had a hand-written thank you message.” —Dangel3272

Upon getting home, he realized what he did and drove back to find it. He found it on the side of the road and it had obviously been run over. The case even had tire marks on it. But the phone still works to this day. So get a LifeProof case!” —Once Upon A Fan Girl
