Best iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max cases to protect your phone

Updated: The best iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max cases to keep your phone crack and scratch free.

Best iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max cases to protect your phone

Let’s be honest – we’ve probably all slipped, maybe or maybe not after a few drinks, forgotten to cover our handset with one of the best iPhone XS cases and smashed our precious iPhone screens.

You’re then left with two options, neither of which are ideal. You get a dodgy screen repair done on the cheap or splash out on a whole new handset.

A better solution? Not smashing it in the first place, genius. Phone cases now come in a range of sizes, colours, designs and budgets – so whatever you’re looking for, you’re covered.

UPDATE: If you're lucky enough to be able to watch Disney+, you'll love this Baby Yoda phone case. Not only does it feature the adorable character known as The Child, it also has a rubber bumper that keeps your phone crack free and a hard frame to avoid scratches.

Here’s our pick of the best iPhone XS cases. Don't forget to upvote your favourites and let us know if we've missed one in the comments below.
