Best iPhone 13 mini cases 2024
The iPhone 13 mini is small enough to hold and use one-handed. However, drops can still happen, so you should be safe and use a case on your smartphone. We've rounded up some of our favorite cases for the iPhone 13 mini and watch this list grow over time as new cases arrive.
Apple's own
You can't go wrong with a case designed by Apple itself. You know it will be gorgeous, and the fit and finish will be perfect for your new iPhone 13 mini. You can choose from various colors, and of course, it's MagSafe compatible.
It's Spigen
One of the first iPhone case manufacturers out of the gate each year is Spigen, and once again, it's ready to protect your latest smartphone. However, this case will get the job done for much less than similar options in the marketplace. Additionally, it's clear so that it won't cover up your new iPhone's gorgeous design.
Another winner
If you're looking for something a little bit more sophisticated, consider Apple's leather case for the iPhone 13 mini. Available in five colors, including Wisteria, Dark Cherry, and Golden Brown, the case is beautifully designed and durable enough to last for the life of the smartphone.
Great alternative
This less expensive case comes with a built-in screen protector, has passed the 5GS 10-foot military-grade drop test, and has an IP68 water resistance rating. It also offers flexible and easy access to all buttons and ports and a clear back to show off your iPhone.
Hands-free convenience
This slim case features a detachable wrist strap to provide hands-free convenience, and a textured pattern improves the grip on your phone. In addition, this case is compatible with the company's SnapTo Series.
Stylish
This lightweight hardshell offers a closed bottom and shock-resistant frame. Styled with signature Coach patterns and graphics, the case provides drop protection up to 10 feet and is wireless and Apple MagSafe compatible.
Clearly cool
It might look plain, but the official Clear Case from Apple is impressive nonetheless. Buy it to show off your latest purchase and watch everyone turn their heads.
Rugged choice
This case is handcrafted in a feather-light construction. It has five layers of protection featuring UAG's signature armor frame, shock-resistant core, layered with top-grain leather, a polycarbonate shear plate, alloy metal hardware, and impact-resistant rubber surround.
Works with Qi wireless charging
The Mous MagSafe features ultra-protective AiroShock impact absorbing technology. In addition, the backplate is engineered out of polycarbonate, which is a material that drastically slows the process of UV discoloration.
Slim profile
Available in various colors, the Nano Pop has a terrific grip while remaining lint and dust-free in your pockets. The two-tone design looks striking next to a brand new iPhone 13 mini, and the case includes a raised ring around the camera for additional protection.
Popular choice
A long-time favorite of iPhone owners, the Otterbox Commuter is pocket-friendly and made with 35% recycled plastic. In addition, it features a dual-layer, soft inner slipcover, and hard outer shell.
Extra thin
The iPhone 13 Mini slim case is only 0.03 inches, and it weighs 0.5 oz, so it's as light as a feather but still provides more protection than other paper-thin cases on the market.
Something extra
Crafted from specially tanned and finished European leather, the wallet features built-in solid magnets that allow it to snap into place on the back of your iPhone effortlessly. This wallet also works with Apple's Find My.
Highly rated
The ORNARTO is one of the most popular iPhone 13 mini cases on Amazon. Elegant and stylish, it's made from Liquid silicone and offers durable, two-layer construction.
Multi-use
Twelve South's iconic BookBook is now available for the iPhone 13 mini. MagSafe compatible, the 3-in-1 leather wallet case offers a display stand and removable magnetic shell.
Different designs
For something pretty, consider one of the Rifle Paper Co designs, including Garden Party Blue, Marguerite, Wild Flowers, and Willow. Each is beautifully designed and unique.
Great value
