Looking for an iPhone case that is not bulky but provides good protection

Submitted by RonTheChicken t3_zyl2ik in iphone

I'm about to buy an iPhone 13 Mini. I'm looking for a case to order that is not too thick or bulky that still provides good protection. Any good brand or even specific cases that fit this? I would prefer it to not be a clear case and budget $60 tops. Thanks guys!

Edit: It says not a clear case just for some people who may have read it wrong.

Tbf I know someone who drops their non cased phone on a regularly basis and hasn’t broken yet. The durability of modern smartphones is actually quite goood.

I’ve been using Spigen Tough Armor for a few years on iPhone and Android. I like the kickstand too.

clear won't have as much protection as some non clear cases. I like spigen generally

I have the Otterbox Commuter on my 13 Mini with the Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector. They’ve been on it a year with zero problems and many drops. Excellent protection but not the bulky heavy Otterbox. Easily fits into my front jeans pocket. Purchased from Amazon. Together before tax would be $55.94.

Original Apple leather case. Just got one for my 13 mini. Love it

Rhinoshield crashguard is what I've being using for android and now iphone, a bit of a different design that's more minimalist, but haven't had any issues with them. Although that may not work for your "clear case" requirement.

I'm at the point where I am not liking any case I purchased. When I had the iPhone 12 Pro, I cycled through many cases depending on what I have going on that day. Now, I just can't seem to like any case. I have the Spigen optik armor, Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Caudabe Sheath, Ringke Fusion Matte and Catalyst Influence.

I lean towards the Catalyst case because of that tapered edge but the case itself just feels wider. Does anyone else feel the same way? Maybe I gotta keep trying cases til I find the right one.

The only cases I’ve ever liked are the official Apple silicone cases and I’ve owned just about ever brand.

Supcase, very minimal bulk. I’ve dropped my 13 mini plenty of times and it hasn’t taken any damage thanks to the case. Can buy on Amazon for under 20 bucks!

Spigen Tough or Rugged Armor.

I’d recommend Spigen’s Ultra Hybrid - not too thin, not too thick. I’ve been using that case for years along with a Momostick

Rhinoshield! Clear case doesn’t yellow and doesn’t add much bulk at all

I like the apple silicone. Just make sure you take advantage of the one year warranty as it does start to look bad over time
