Your guide to iPhone 11 cases

If you're still holding on to your great smartphone from the iPhone 11 series, then you know how important it is to keep it safe and protected. It might not be the newest phone on the market, but if it still works - why not keep using it? This is not only because the iPhone 11 series, whether it's the regular iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, or iPhone 11 Pro Max, is an expensive piece of technology that you take with you everywhere, but also because it's packed with all your memories and important information.

In addition, the iPhone 11 series is a state-of-the-art line of smartphones that all feature Liquid Retina HD LCD displays (or Super Retina XDR OLED displays in Pro models), strengthened glass front and back protection, the powerful A13 Bionic chip, and an impressive dual-camera system with 12-megapixel cameras. The iPhone 11 series also introduces Night mode and enhanced Portrait mode capabilities.

Types of iPhone 11 cases

Before you decide to buy a new case for your iPhone, we need to make sure you're informed about the options available. After all, there's a jungle of options out there, and it's not always easy to know what's best for you - and your phone.

Below you'll find a brief overview of options for the different types of iPhone 11 cases you'll find on the market. We've put this list together to help you get a better idea of what options are available. It's also important to remember that within each category there are a myriad of options when it comes to colours, materials, and special features.

iPhone 11 cases

A simpler iPhone 11 case is one that you put on the back of your phone to help protect the back and sides from damage and general wear and tear. The advantages and disadvantages of these cases are perhaps obvious and correlate with each other. The advantage, of course, is that the more minimalist design means that the case protects without taking up extra space in your hand or pocket, so your iPhone 11 retains its original design and appearance. The fact that they primarily focus on protecting the back and sides means you always have full access to the screen.

The disadvantages, as mentioned above, are perfectly in line with the advantages. Firstly, the minimalist design means a limited level of protection, and the fact that you always have access to the screen also means it's always at risk of being scratched or cracked in the event of an accident.

You can find these cases in a variety of colours, prints, and materials, but they are most often made from materials such as silicone or either soft or hard plastic. These materials ensure a snug and reliable fit and also give your phone a good and comfortable grip.

iPhone 11 wallet cases

On the other side of the spectrum, you'll find a wide selection of different cases for the iPhone 11. These specific products have many different names, whether it's just a "iPhone 11 wallet case" or a "iPhone 11 folio case". Whatever you call them, the functionality is the same: the case protects both the front and back of your phone, which it does with a convenient lid that folds over the screen when the device is not in use.

So what does this mean in terms of practicality and usability? The first benefit is, of course, the increased level of protection, as the case provides robust and comprehensive protection for all sides of the phone. This means you can always be sure that your iPhone 11 is kept in the same good condition as the day you bought it for as long as possible. Another added benefit is that the case not only protects the screen but also has varying amounts of space for your most important items - such as bank cards, ID cards, and/or driving licence.

The disadvantages, which may not even be disadvantages to some, are that these products are inherently bulkier than regular cases. The lid and extended protection mean more material, which means they also take up more space in your hands or pockets.

What should you consider when choosing your iPhone 11 case?

Now that you've got an overview of the options when it comes to protecting, accessorising and customising your iPhone 11, there are some things we think you should consider:

  • Know your model: It may seem obvious or basic, but it's important nonetheless. There are three different models in the 11 series: the regular iPhone 11, Pro and Pro Max. Each model has its own sizes, specifications and button and camera locations, so it's important that you buy a case that fits the model you have. Therefore: double check before you buy.

  • Consider your style: Just like when buying clothes, you need to consider your style when buying a new iPhone 11 case. This can be anything from colour, material and print, which can be used to complement your overall style or add colour to your life.

  • Consider your lifestyle: Another thing that might seem basic is to consider your lifestyle and how you use your phone. For example, if you're a regular user, a simpler case that doesn't focus on protection may be appropriate and sufficient. However, if you have a more active lifestyle or a physically demanding job, you may want to consider investing in something more robust or heavy duty.

FAQ

Which case should I choose for the iPhone 11?

It's a difficult question for us to answer, so to keep it simple we'll say this: you should choose the iPhone 11 case that best suits your needs and preferences in terms of style and protection. So before you buy anything - first consider what you need and make an informed decision.

Is it better to choose an original Apple case?

Yes and no. Whilst Apple accessories for Apple devices, such as a case for your iPhone, are generally of the same quality as the device itself, it all depends on your needs and budget. Apple accessories tend to be more expensive and whilst they are certainly very high quality, there are third-party accessory manufacturers that also provide high-quality products.

How much do iPhone 11 cases cost?

It varies and there is no clear-cut answer to this question. Generally speaking, the higher the quality of a case and the more features and levels of protection it offers, the more it will cost. So, for example, a genuine leather wallet case will cost more than a regular silicone case. Whether that also means it's better, only you can decide.
