Planning on buying one of the four new iPhones? Whether you’re eyeing the iPhone 12 Mini or the 12 Pro Max, you probably should squeeze whatever you end up with into a case. Sure, Apple says Ceramic Shield, which embeds ceramic crystals into the glass covering the screen, makes the phones more durable. But it’s still glass.
I’ve tested over 30 cases on the iPhone 12 Pro and Max, but they should also work perfectly well on the iPhone 12 and 12 Mini. We’ve also rounded up some of our favorite accessories, including wireless chargers and charging adapters to kit out your new phone.
Be sure to check out our other buying guides, like the Best iPhone, the Best iPhone 12 Deals, and the Best iPhone 11 Cases.
Updated December 2020: We’ve added cases and accessories from OtterBox, Moft, Oakywood, Moshi, 15:21, and Gear4.
