In Our Carts This Week: The iPhone 12 Is Now Out for Pre-Order

This year, Apple announced four new phones, which is the most it has ever unveiled in a single launch event. Of those, two are available for pre-order right now: You can sign up to get the iPhone 12 or the iPhone 12 Pro starting today, Oct. 16. Both phones will be released and shipped to consumers in just a week, on Friday, Oct. 23. Read more about the new iPhones here, and check out the best case options below.

The Best iPhone 12 Pro Cases: MagSafe Cases, Clear Cases & More

After you've pre-ordered your new iPhone, all you can do is wait patiently until next week for it to arrive. Well, that's almost all you can do.

Despite the fact that the iPhone 12 sports some of the most durable glass ever used in an iPhone display, the back of the iPhone 12 is still normal iPhone glass, and the stainless steel that adorns the sides is just begging to get scratched or dented. (Fun fact, the iPhone 4, from which the iPhone 12 borrows its design cues, was the first iPhone I ever shattered — twice.)  

Suffice to say, whether you snag the iPhone 12 or the iPhone 12 Pro, you're going to want to protect it. The good news is that there are already tons of awesome iPhone 12 cases our there (which fit both the 12 and the 12 Pro) that are either available for pre-order or are shipping soon. From the new magnetic MagSafe iPhone cases to clear cases that will show off your iPhone 12 Pro’s colors, these are some of the best iPhone 12 cases you can buy right now.

Apple Silicone Case With MagSafe
 
 
 
Apple Silicone Case With MagSafe

Of course, Apple is first out the gate with a new collection of MagSafe cases in a wide assortment of colors. I especially like the Kumquat paired with the new Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro. Apple's clean design aesthetic really shines in their cases. And in-hand, the soft-touch silicone just feels nicer than other cases. The micro-fiber interior keeps your iPhone safe from errant grit that might find its way into the case.

Otterbox Symmetry Series Clear
 
 
 
Otterbox Symmetry Series Clear

This easy to install one-piece case from Otterbox is completely clear, so your color of choice can shine through! While it doesn't have the antimicrobial protection of the Series+ cases, it still has the three-times military drop protection and is compatible with their full line of Alpha and Amplify glass protectors. It also comes in glittery and more opaque varieties if you want "clear, but with some style".

Otter + Pop Symmetry

If you're looking for a case with a Pop Socket built right in, then you have to check out the Otter + Pop Symmetry series from Otterbox. They have the three-times drop protection of the other Symmetry cases (but not the antimicrobial coating). The only caveat is that you might need to remove the Pop Socket when you wirelessly charge your iPhone. If you're a plug-in charging type, then don't worry about it.

Nomad Rugged Leather Case
 
 
 
Nomad Rugged Leather Case

Nomad makes some of the best cases on the market today. The natural, vegetable-tanned Horween leather of the Rugged Leather case for the iPhone 12 Pro is a perfect example. It combines beautiful vegetable-tanned Horween leather with a rubber shock-absorbing bumper that can withstand up to a 10-foot drop. The leather of the case will age as you use it, darkening and developing the telltale scratches and imperfections of good leather.

Each Pad & Quill Bella Fino Wallet case is handmade using a single piece of American full-grain leather. They're stitched with parathread and have a lay-flat cover that can hold 5-7 cards and cash.
