Best iPhone 11 and 11 Pro cases for 2022 – CNET [CNET]

While phone technology has evolved a lot over the years, one thing that hasn’t changed much is that your phone is still delicate. One bad drop could be the end, leaving you with a brick that can’t take calls, can’t take photos, can’t text and can’t access Instagram. The horror! 

Hence, you need a case that protects your phone — and protects it well. That’s why most of my picks for best iPhone11 cases, including the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, tend to be pricier than the typical smartphone case you’ll find on Amazon for $20 or less — so this is a best-of-the-best iPhone 11 case list.

We know that Apple’s iPhone 11 comes in a variety of colors that people may want to show off, so I’ve also included a number of iPhone 11 cases that are translucent. All of these iPhone cases have precise cutouts that don’t hinder your use of the phone (and particulalry the camera lens) and offer extra protection in case you drop it on a hard surface. 

So, there are a lot of iPhone cases here. If you’re looking for a slim case, a folio case, a case with a raised bezel or precise cutouts, a case that doesn’t interfere with your wireless charger, a case that protects your camera lens, one with button covers or even one made from genuine leather, I’ve got you. Read on for the best iPhone 11 cases.
