Best Apple iPhone SE Case for 2023 – CNET [CNET]

David Carnoy

View Article on CNET

The third-generation iPhone SE, aka the iPhone SE (2022), has the same chassis as the iPhone 7 and 8 with upgraded internal components, including Apple’s A15 Bionic processor and 5G support.

Most iPhone 7 and 8 cases will fit the 2022 SE and case makers tend to label their SE cases as being compatible with the iPhone 7 and 8 as well as with the iPhone SE (2020) and now the iPhone SE (2022). As a result of this backward compatibility, some of the cases on this list are ones we tried with earlier iPhone models and can recommend them based on our previous experience using them.

While I’ve included a wide variety of cases, I’ve put an emphasis on cases that are also a good value. If you’re buying a so-called value smartphone like the iPhone SE, you probably don’t want to spend too much on a case. And since some of these cases have been on the market for a while, you will see some nice discounts on excellent iPhone SE cases.

My two favorite Otterbox cases are the Commuter Series and Symmetry Series, both of which come in a variety of colors. The dual-layer Commuter Series is a little more protective and has a latch that covers the charging port. Prices vary by color.

Zagg’s Gear4 cases for the iPhone SE are similar in quality to Speck and Otterbox cases. I initially linked to the Piccadilly (pictured above), which was selling for only $8, but that’s currently sold out. The Crystal Palace ($11) is very similar but completely clear.

Spigen’s Tough Armor cases have been around for a while and are notable for their circular cutout exposing the Apple logo and their built-in kickstand. They do offer decent protection and hold up fairly well over time, though not quite as well as some Otterbox and Speck cases. The Tough Armor is available in multiple color options.

Smartish makes three cases for the SE, the Gripmunk, Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 and Wallet Slayer Vol. 2 (the latter two are wallet cases). I’m slightly more partial to the Slayer Vol. 2, which comes in a couple of color options for the SE. It’s a pretty basic case but offers decent grip and can hold a couple of credit cards along with some cash. You can use your credit card as a kickstand by inserting it into the slot in the back of the case.

But if you want an even more waterproof option, LifeProof’s Fre case is the way to go. This once-popular case (before the iPhone got some waterproofing) is still quite expensive but it does offer maximum protection for your phone.
