The Apple iPhone 15 is finally here and official. Which means, there are a ton of cases that are available to buy. And we really do mean a ton. In this article, we are rounding up the best cases that we have found so far. These are all going to be cases that are available to buy now, or very soon. Since this post is going up ahead of pre-orders, some cases aren’t quite available yet, but will be in a few days.
This list does have leather cases, something that Apple has decided to ditch this year. There’s also some cheaper TPU and silicone cases available, and of course, Apple’s own FineWoven case. Without further ado, here are the Best iPhone 15 Cases for 2023.
Nomad Modern Leather Case
The Nomad Modern Leather case is a fantastic case, and it’s actually one that I’ve used on my iPhone for the past two years. This is going to cost you $50, or if you want Horween Leather, it’ll be $70. This does come in a few colors, including black, brown and English Tan. Important to note that the English Tan is not available in Horween Leather.
So what makes this case better than Apple’s older leather cases? Well, for one, the leather doesn’t wrap all the way around the case. The sides are made of plastic. It’s a soft-touch plastic, so it still feels pretty high-end, but it keeps the leather looking good. And as expected, the leather is also going to age after some time – Horween Leather will take longer to show it’s age, however.

Apple FineWove Case
Apple, this year, has decided to declare war on Leather. And is moving to this FineWoven case, for the environment. This is made of durable microtwill which has a suede-like feel. So it still feels like leather, sort of, but it may not age like leather.
This case is available in five colors: Taupe, Mulberry, Evergreen, Pacific Blue and Black. Which look really good, and it’s good to see Pacific Blue back in the mix.
ZAGG Luxe Snap
This year, the ZAGG Luxe Snap might be one of the best cases you can pick up this year. It comes in a boatload of colors, and is only $39.99. This case is also durable, thanks to the new Graphene material that ZAGG is using this year. It has drop protection up to 10-feet and it’s still lightweight with support for MagSafe.
Perhaps even more important than that, the Luxe Snap also has a textured finish on the back. Which is going to give it a unique look, but also make it easier to hold onto. Which is definitely important here on the iPhone 15.
Nomad Rugged Case
Leather not your style? Well Nomad has a few other cases that you can pick up for the iPhone 15. It’s $60, so it costs more than their Leather case, surprisingly. But this is a really durably case, with a polycarbonate frame. It’s only available in black for the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. The Ultra Orange and Atlantic Blue are saved for the Pro models.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid
Looking for a cheap, and clear case? Spigen has you covered here. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid is available for $15, and is usually on sale too. Now this is a clear case, but it also comes in a slew of other colors, if you prefer a colored case.
This case from Spigen does have air cushions in the corners and on the sides, so that when your phone does get dropped, it is going to be protected. It also has long-lasting clarity. So this clear case is going to stay clear, for a long time. Instead of starting to yellow.
ZAGG Manhattan Snap
The ZAGG Manhattan Snap might be the sleeper case for the iPhone 15. It’s a silicone case like what Apple offers, and it’s the same price – $49.99. But it is a much better case. If you’ve ever used one of Apple’s silicone cases, you likely know how it likes to hold onto fingerprints, dust and such. Well, this one, does not.
This also uses the Graphene material like its other cases, making it more durable, while keeping it pretty thin and lightweight. Making this a really great case to pick up.
ZAGG Everest Snap
If you’re clumsy, or drop your phone a lot, then you might want to have a look at the ZAGG Everest Snap case. This is a rugged case with a built-in kickstand. It also doubles the drop protection from other ZAGG cases, at 20-feet.
This case has a triple-layer of protection. So even when you do drop your phone, it’s pretty unlikely that it will get damaged or destroyed. Which, let’s face it, that’s why you buy a case like this.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit
The Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit case is another good option for the iPhone 15, as it does come in at just $21. It comes in a few different designs, including the Zero One design which shows what the inside of your phone looks like.
This case has a raised lip that will protect your screen and the camera module on the back. It’s also got tactile buttons for solid feedback and an easy press. With a hole for the mute switch, which remains on the iPhone 15. It also uses Air Cushion Technology for shock absorption.

TORRAS Magnetic Case
The TORRAS Magnetic Case is a really great looking case that comes in four colors – black, blue, green and pink. It also comes with a built-in kickstand and only costs $33.
It has the same great drop protection as just about every other case on this list, with air cushions in the sides and corners. Which is where your phone will usually hit when it is dropped.
