The best iPhone 14 Pro cases 2024
Why you can trust TechRadar
1. Apple iPhone 14 Silicone Case with MagSafe
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
With a silky and soft-touch finish on the exterior and a soft microfiber lining on the inside, the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Silicone Case with MagSafe keeps your phone protected while being comfortable to hold.
As you'd expect from something with MagSafe support, it's snug too and you're easily able to 'stack' other related accessories to the pile if need be.
It may be expensive for a simple silicone shell, but it feels great and fits perfectly. The silicone case keeps the clean look that Apple prizes, and it comes in a nice selection of colors that naturally complement Apple's iPhone.
2. Casetify Bounce Case for iPhone 14 Pro
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Casetify is known for its stylish and unique cases, but the Casetify Bounce case is on a whole other level. While most cases give you up to ten feet or so of bounce protection, the Casetify Bounce could potentially protect your phone if you drop it from the roof of a small building, with 21.3 feet of bounce with those huge bumpers.
It may be bulky and conspicuous, but if you need that much protection you certainly won't mind. Casetify has plenty of customization options to write on the case, so you can at least make it your own bulky and conspicuous case. It's got the raised camera bumper we require, and it can handle MagSafe charging and accessories as well.
3. Mous Limitless 5.0 Aramic Fiber
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Mous makes a very stylish and lightweight case with a few different material finish options, and for the iPhone 14 Pro we think the aramid fiber is a cool one to choose. Aramid fibers include the same fabric family as Kevlar brand, so it should be resistant to the point of ballistic protection from drops and damage. All of the cases from Mous are drop-resistant, so even if you go for a wood finish you should still be covered.
We like the ridges for an easier grip on the side, and this case should have a nice, not too slippery texture. There is a camera bumper to protect our precious lenses, of course. The case is also MagSafe qualified and should work just fine with wireless charging.
4. Nomad Modern Leather Case
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Nomad makes cases that look clean and professional, and the Modern Leather cases are among our favorites when we need to make a statement. Nomad uses a sustainably sourced leather that wears nicely and develops a natural patina over time. That's much better than watching a clear plastic case turn yellow with age. For the classy, executive-level iPhone 14 Pro, we think the English tan is an excellent finish for the Nomad case.
Even though it looks stylish, the Nomad Modern Leather case is still quite protective, and it can handle drops up to ten feet. There are connection points for lanyards if you like to keep your phone tethered to your wrist. Also, even though it's a premium case, it's not the most expensive on our list.
5. Tech21 Evo Art Protective Phone Case
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Tech21 Evo Art cases are stylish as well as protective. The company licenses original artwork, so you won't see the same designs wrapping everyone else's iPhone. We like the geodic blue and white design for the high-end iPhone 14 Pro, and we still get twelve feet of drop protection. Tech21 says the Evo Art cases use a plastic that repels messes, making it easier to clean.
Like all of the cases we recommend here, the Tech21 Evo Art case will work just fine with all of Apple's MagSafe accessories and chargers. There are raised bumpers around the camera to protect the fancy new lenses if the phone takes a fall.
6. Otterbox Frē Series
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
If you need serious Otterbox protection for your new iPhone 14 Pro, the Otterbox Frē series adds even more waterproofing, protecting every inch of your new device. There are sealed port covers as well as a built-in screen protector, giving you up to two meters of waterproof protection. The iPhone can already handle more than a meter on its own, but you should feel more secure if you want to shoot photos or video underwater when your phone is housed in an Otterbox Frē.
Even though it wraps around the front and back of the phone, the Otterbox Frē still gives you MagSafe protection, so you can affix the phone to Apple's magnetic accessories and chargers. The case is also made from a majority of recycled plastics, including 25% from plastic recovered from the ocean.
What is the best iPhone 14 case?
It's impossible to choose a single best iPhone 14 case, as everyone has different needs and tastes, but any of the options above should do a good job of keeping it safe.
What should I look for when choosing an iPhone 14 case?
Protection is key, of course, so look for things like military drop test standards, and other concrete information on this. Beyond that, consider how bulky you're okay with a case being - more protection tends to mean more bulk. You'll also want something that you like the look of, or if you want to show your phone off then maybe something transparent.
