2. Spigen ultra hybrid: Affordable clear case

If you are looking for something more day-to-day, Spigen offers a perfect fix. First and foremost, it promises basic drop protection while maintaining the device’s slim and sleek form factor.  Plus, a clear back allows you to show off the iPhone 13 mini in all its glory. An anti-yellow resin coating ensures that it doesn’t go dull after a few days, and you can use it for as long as you want.  And if you’re not a fan of completely clear cases, the Ultra Hybrid cases are available in quite a few options that you can check out.

3. Caseology Nano Pop – Sporty iPhone 13 mini case

Caseology offers a smart blend between sophistication and sporty. While the muted base color oozes panache, the pop of contrasting color around the camera bump and interiors lends it that sporty edge. Alongside good looks, the bumper case also promises military-grade drop protection, thanks to a protective inner defense pattern and patented air space technology in the corners. Its ergonomic design and soft TPU material make the case quite grippy, even in wet or sweaty hands.

4. OtterBox Commuter series – Best for travelers

Staying true to its name, the Commuter series case balances between a pocket-friendly profile and protection from drops and bumps. The dual-layer design has a soft inner slipcover and a hard outer shell that cushions the iPhone and deflects impacts. Built to beat the daily grind, it is tested to survive 3X as many drops. And thanks to port covers, dirt, dust, and lint are also kept at bay. The case also integrated a silver-based antimicrobial coating that inhibits microbial growth. Moreover, special soft grip pads are added to the cover’s back so that you can hold it comfortably and firmly for long hours.

5. Speck Gemshell Glitter case – Best for germaphobes

The Speck Gemshell won’t leave a speck of bacteria on your device, thanks to its Microban antimicrobial protection that reduces 99% of bacteria. Although what it will surely give your iPhone 13 mini is a bejeweled look sprinkled with glitter. And it won’t be a glittery mess, as the sparkles are embedded into the cover and won’t go sticking to your hand or other surfaces. Furthermore, the case incorporates a dual-layer bumper which happily lends up to 8 ft. drop protection.

6. TORRAS Crystal Clear case – Super slim and protective

TORRAS Crystal Clear series will fit your iPhone 13 mini like a second skin. It is as slim and clear as it gets. Plus, a nano antioxidant coating protects it from going yellow over time and maintains its shining persona. However, the highlight of this case is its military-grade protection and patented X-Shock protection. Oh yes, thanks to engineering wonder, the case provides adequate protection from drops and falls, despite being super thin.

7. Casely – Designer iPhone 13 mini case

Casely is the perfect match for someone who wants to make a bold statement with their iPhone cover. It boasts some amazing, off-beat designs curated by in-house illustrators, artists, and graphic designers. And it’s just not a pretty cover; the bumper case is crafted from hard polycarbonate that keeps scratches and scuff marks at bay. Moreover, the lightweight case uses 50% recycled TPU materials and non-toxic, eco-friendly dyes, so albeit in a small part, you are also protecting the environment.

8. SUPCASE UB style – Protection on a budget

SUPCASE has an uncanny art of developing protective cases for your iPhone and wallet, and the UB style case is no different. The best part is that it does so subtly and stylishly. I adore its on-point matte finish and premium look. The scratch-resistant polycarbonate clear back and shock-absorbent TPU bumper lend up to 15ft. drop protection. It also incorporates elevated bezels into the mix that avoids scratches when placed facedown. And most importantly, it doesn’t bulk up the device too much.

But that’s not all; the rugged case also boasts an array of built-in magnets that pave the path for MagSafe compatibility. Check out on: UAG
