Apple's official silicone case can be bought alongside your new iPhone direct from the website.

While not the most affordable, Apple claims it has undergone thousands of hours of testing and you can ensure it meets the company's high standards of quality control. 

The case is typical of many silicone cases, adding very little bulk while still protecting the fragile glass back of the phone.

Crucially, it still supports wireless charging and you can choose from black or white variants. 

The case is available on Apple's website for £45.00/US$39.00.

Clckr is a new brand on our radar with a simple yet clever design. The cases come with an in-built, adjustable grip band on the back that clicks into place to convert into a stand – it's perfect for both landscape and portrait view.

The cases themselves are well-built and strong and feel comfortable to grip. If you prefer, you can also buy the adhesive Clckr straps individually for £9.99/US$14.99 and just stick them onto your existing phone case. UK shoppers can pick up the stand-alone grip stands for £9.99 from Amazon.

Clckr cases are available for the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max for £24.99/$29.99. The company offers a one year warranty and free shipping over £25/$35. UK shoppers can pick up the case for around £19 from Amazon.

The Gear4 Crystal Palace is a great case, both in terms of its simple design and the company's patented D30 protection material that offers impressive 16ft drop protection. Don't assume the heavy-duty drop protection indicates a bulky case either, as the Crystal Palace is relatively slim compared to other protective cases, and can be used with wireless chargers too. 

It features a small raised lip on the front that should keep your display suspended when placed face-down, avoiding hairline scratches, and the soft-touch finish adds to the overall premium feel of the case. We'd still recommend using a screen protector though, as the case won't do much if landing face-down on an uneven surface like gravel. 

It's available in a variety of colours, not just the blue finish we've seen, and can be picked up for £23.79 in the UK and $26.99 in the US.

This option not only offers protection for your iPhone 11 with a rubberised case, it also bypasses the need for a bag or even pockets. KNOKberlin made this phone necklace after embracing the changing needs of people according to the seasons – not everyone wants to stuff their increasingly large phone in their pocket.

With a phone necklace, you can not only check your phone easily and quickly, you’re also far less likely to lose it – a big perk for some of us who are more on the absent minded side.

The protective cases are all transparent but the 150cm necklace strap is where you can accessorise. KNOKberlin has tons of different designs mostly made of strong, comfortable cord but there are a few other options such as leather. The eclectic straps are fully adjustable to let you wear your phone as a necklace or cross-body, making this case the perfect way to carry your phone no matter the time of year.

Prices start at €24,90 direct from KNOKberlin, and they ship worldwide.

Available in four colours (Black, Tan, Monaco Blue and Alpine Green) this gorgeous iPhone 11 case both protects your valuable phone from knocks, drops and bumps, and doubles up as a card wallet at the back.

It's sleek and super lightweight, and allows the beauty of both Apple's design and the case experts of Mujjo to add to your iPhone-carrying pleasure. Yeah, we really like it.

If you don't want or need the card pouch, you can buy it without and save a bit of cash: the non-wallet Full Leather Case costs £40.41 / $50.29 / €44.90 from Mujjo, or via Amazon.

The Razer Arctech Pro range has gamers locked in its sights, offering a thermaphene layer and little vents in the case that aim to lower the temperature of your iPhone during intense gaming sessions, improving both performance and overall battery life. 

It's not just a cool-looking heatsink though; the Arctech Pro offers heavy-duty drop protection - up to 10ft according to Razer - and the raised lip should help avoid smashing the screen to pieces when you inevitably drop it screen-down.

It's available in three colours - Black, White and Pink - and can be bought via Razer and Amazon with an RRP of £39.99/$39.99.

Apple didn't invent the iPhone in all its colours and textures just for you to cover it up with a fancy case. But we all know that a dropped or scratched iPhone is not what Apple wants either.

So some of us just want a super-thin case that protects but otherwise shows off the iPhone as Apple intended. The minimal Thin iPhone Cases from Totallee are just 0.02in thick and don't have any branding on them.

There are three types: Transparent (so owners can still enjoy the great new colours), and Matte in either Frosted Clear, Frosted Black, Solid Black, Navy Blue and Red - all cost £35/US$35. There's also a case in Black Leather for $39.

Casetify often collaborates with other popular brands and celebrities to produce eye-catching, limited edition phone cases and accessories. Most recently, it released cases themed after the Oscar-winning film Parasite. 

We tried out the Impact Case (pictured) with the Film Collage pattern. It felt sturdy yet lightweight and we especially liked the back of the cases was resistant to fingerprints.
