Official Apple Cases

If you’re a true loyalist, of course, you can go for a case offered through Apple itself (or if you’re a pragmatist and you want to pick one up at the store). It goes without saying that these will be more expensive than cases from anywhere else, but they’re also guaranteed to be a perfect fit.

The collection ranges from basic flat silicone, plastic and leather offerings to more intricate designs including flip cases and wallets.

You can also pick up a battery case that’ll lend your new iPhone a bit more battery oomph for heavy users, or grab a screen protector (highly recommended).

The Most Expensive Cases

Ok, we’re not expecting anyone can actually buy these cases, but for curiosity’s sake here are two iPhone cases that’ll cost you almost as much as (or more than) the actual phone itself.

Alter Ego for iPhone XS and XS Max br>

[clear]
$1458-$2765 USD br>

Alter Ego’s Titanium cases are an exercise in excess, even for people already spending up to $2000 on their phones. Less a case and more an art piece, they range from $1458 for the standard finish, but you can also pay more for a ‘stealth’ version, a gold coated version or a multi-coloured Aurora look.

Radically transforming the iPhone, the Alter Ego turns your phone into an object of mystery and power, stopping the world at its tracks every time it leaves your pocket.

Louis Vuitton Eye Trunk for iPhone XS br>

[clear]
$1320USD br>

Want to be really tasteful? Why not turn your iPhone into a miniature version of one of Louis Vuitton’s iconic trunks. Just… be prepared to spend big for the privilege, okay?

The ultimate accessory for iPhone aficionados, Louis Vuitton’s cult Eye Trunk has been upgraded for the iPhone X. First seen on Spring-Summer 2018 show by Nicolas Ghesquière, this new version comes with a functional lock and removable leather strap for shoulder or cross-body carry, it is a cutting-edge fashion statment.

Note that the iPhone XS has retained the same dimensions and design as the iPhone X, so if you’re upgrading from an X you can reuse your case, or just pick up a (probably cheaper) iPhone X branded case. Here’s a roundup from last year if you’re after a case on a budget.

The iPhone X comes in at a cool $1500-plus, depending on the model and although there are plenty of other things you could spend that kind of money on, if you’re going to splash out and grab the X then you want to make sure you’re protecting it, but you also want to save a bit of cash.”]
