When you're looking for the best thin iPhone cases, you probably want more than just something that looks nice. A good slim case should feel light in your hand, slide easily into your pocket or bag, and still keep your screen and camera safe.
From our experience, most people also care about durability, MagSafe compatibility, and a comfortable fit that doesn't feel bulky.
In this article, we'll walk you through what makes a thin case worth choosing and share four of our favourites that combine function with style, so you can find the one that suits you best.
Best Thin iPhone cases
Here are four of our favourite thin iPhone cases at The Dairy. We've tested them, knocked them around a bit (not too violently!), and used them in daily life. Each has its own strengths:
Rust Polka Dot Phone Case
The Rust Polka Dot phone case brings personality to slim protection. Created with Australian designer Jasmine Dowling (Studio Jasmine), this exclusive print blends deep purple with warm brown, finished with playful polka dots and a touch of gold that catches the light, making it one of the best cute iPhone cases.
The Snap version keeps things ultra lightweight and slim, making it easy to slip into a pocket or small bag without extra bulk. It still covers the essentials, with raised edges around the screen and camera to guard against scratches. It's available for multiple iPhone models, so you can protect your phone no matter what you have.
Benefits
- Glossy, vibrant print that resists wear and fading
- Raised bezel protects the screen and camera without adding much bulk
- Light-weight hard shell with some flex
Best For
- People who love bold, artistic design and want the case to look like part of their style
- Users who want minimal bulk but still want some drop protection
- Those who carry their phone in tight pockets or small bags
Lucky Phone Case
The Lucky phone case is all about charm and playfulness. Designed by artist Amy, it's covered in hand-painted symbols that have long been linked to good fortune. Think number sevens, rainbows, dice, and even the protective evil eye.
The Snap version keeps the case slim and lightweight, so it feels comfortable in your hand and slips easily into your pocket. It still gives your screen and camera that little bit of extra protection with raised edges.
Fun, cheerful, and practical, it's a case that adds a pop of personality every time you pick up your phone. If you're looking for the best iPhone case for kids, this one's a top contender.
