Smartish Gripmunk ($14.99; smartish.com)
We chose this case because of the tactile edge that ensures you can get a good grip, and the air-pocket corners that give it a bounce and protect against drops. It’s under $15, which is also one of the most reasonable prices on this list.

Want to show off your fancy new shade of purple? Apple’s clear phone case allows you to appreciate your new phone color, and it’s coated to prevent yellowing which can be a common occurrence with clear cases. It also supports MagSafe charging.

We love this ‘60s retro-inspired case from Casely. Make a psychedelic splash with this case that comes with a built-in Magsafe compatible magnet and a one-year warranty. It falls in the midrange protection category with a one millimeter front lip, and is quite lightweight.

Peel Super Thin MagSafe Case ($45; buypeel.com)
If you’re after the thinnest case option that doesn’t add an extra weight or thickness to your iPhone 14 or 14 Pro, then Peel’s “Super Thin MagSafe Case” fits the bill. It comes in two shades and is made of a soft TPU. It won’t provide the wildest amount of protection, but it won’t make your iPhone look any less good either.
Will my iPhone 13 case fit the iPhone 14?
Due to slightly longer volume and power buttons, along with a slightly different location, some extra thickness, and larger cameras, your iPhone 13 case won't fit an iPhone 13. Same with an iPhone 13 Pro case not fitting an iPhone 14 Pro and a 13 Pro Max not properly fitting the 14 Pro Max. Luckily, if you have a favorite case there is a good chance the brand might keep the style or design
