Silicone, leather or clear case: which suits you?
Compare grip, appearance and everyday use across the most popular case materials.
The best case is not the same for everyone. Material affects feel, grip and how much of your iPhone’s design remains visible.
Silicone: soft with plenty of grip
Silicone feels comfortable and is less likely to slip from your hand. It is a strong everyday all-rounder and comes in many colours.
Leather look: refined and professional
A leather or leather-look case creates a calmer, more premium appearance. Expect normal signs of use and clean it gently.
Clear: keep your iPhone visible
A clear case shows the phone’s colour and design. Choose material designed with yellowing in mind and clean it regularly.
Choose for your routine
Travel often? Prioritise grip and raised edges. For work, consider a subdued finish. Choose clear when you want to see the device.
Frequently asked questions
