iPhone Air cases and accessories
The iPhone Air features a brand-new, ultra-slim design, which places special demands on protection. Here you’ll find a carefully curated range of cases that are moulded to preserve the phone’s light and slim profile, whilst offering maximum protection against everyday knocks. Whether you’re looking for a nearly invisible, transparent cover or an elegant case, we have the perfect match. Remember to complement the sleek look with screen protectors for iPhone Air.
How to choose the perfect case for your iPhone Air
Investing in an iPhone Air is largely about choosing a revolutionary thin and lightweight design. Your biggest challenge is therefore to find a cover that protects the electronics without turning the slim device into a bulky brick in your pocket.
Preserve the slim design
When the phone itself is designed to take up minimal space, your cover should reflect this.
- The lightweight everyday case: If your main reason for buying the iPhone Air was its light weight, you should check out our ultra-thin silicone or gel cases. They add barely a few extra millimetres to the phone, but provide the necessary grip so it doesn’t slip out of your hand. Many models also feature an inner microfibre lining that traps dust particles and prevents micro-scratches.
- Rigidity and protection against twisting: If you often keep your phone in tight trouser pockets, ultra-thin phones can be prone to twisting. Here, a case with a hard polycarbonate back is the obvious choice. The rigid material gives the phone structural strength so that it remains completely flat, even when you’re on the move.
Protect the camera system the smart way
On an extremely thin phone, the camera system will inevitably protrude slightly from the back.
- If you often place your phone flat on a table or desk, it is crucial that you choose a case with a raised bezel. This small detail around the camera cut-out ensures that the lenses never come into direct contact with the tabletop, effectively preventing scratches without the cover needing to be thick across the rest of the back.
Making full use of magnetic features
The slim design means you can make good use of wireless accessories. If you want to use wireless charging stations or magnetic card holders, it’s important to choose a Magsafe-compatible cover. These covers have built-in magnetic rings that work perfectly with your phone’s technology, ensuring a strong connection and fast charging every time.
Frequently asked questions about iPhone Air cases
Will a case ruin the slim feel of my iPhone Air?
No, not if you choose the right material. We have a wide range of specially designed, ultra-thin cases that are only a fraction of a millimetre thick. They are made specifically to preserve the iPhone Air’s minimalist form factor, whilst protecting against scratches and light knocks.
Do iPhone 15 or 16 cases fit the iPhone Air?
No, absolutely not. The iPhone Air introduces a completely new, ultra-thin form factor with its own dimensions and proportions that differ significantly from previous generations and the other phones in the 17 series. An older case will be far too loose and thick.
Does a thin case provide enough protection if I drop my phone?
It depends on the material and the height of the fall. Thin silicone cases are excellent for protecting against scratches and minor knocks in everyday use. If you know you tend to drop your phone on hard surfaces such as tiles, we recommend a hybrid case. These have reinforced, shock-absorbing edges that provide better protection, even though they are still designed to be as slim as possible.
Does wireless charging work with all your iPhone Air cases?
As iPhone Air covers are generally designed to be slim, almost all models allow for standard wireless charging. However, if you want the strongest magnetic grip for car mounts and vertical chargers, you should always filter for models that are MagSafe-compatible.
