Our best iPhone X cases guide is here to help you keep Apple's still-speedy 2017 flagship iPhone looking pristine – not only do cases protect your expensive smartphone, they can also come with a range of extra features such as credit card holders or portable battery chargers.
The iPhone X might have been superseded multiple times, most recently by the iPhone 12 range, but it’s still an expensive phone – and a fragile one, so it’s well worth sticking a case on it to keep it safe.
With so many cases available though, you shouldn’t grab one just because it’s on sale – some are better than others, and different ones are suited to different users.
That’s where this guide comes in. Below you’ll find a selection of the very best iPhone X cases money can buy, coming in at a range of budgets and with a variety of features, so you can quickly work out which the best options are for you.
These are products that we haven't had in our test labs, but based on our experts' opinion and knowledge of the most reputable brands around, we think these are worth looking at.
Our selections, ranked from cheapest to most expensive, take into account online reviews, brand reputation, product capability and unique features, to help you pick through the maze of choices available to you.

Sometimes, beyond form, function or anything else, price is the key differentiator. Across the wide variety of options available through Amazon, many are functionally the same, however the JETech case stands out. Firstly at just shy of £5, it is cheaper than many rivals - and with its thick design it should be capable of absorbing all but the most nasty of accidents.
This is one for those who haven’t a great deal of cash to splash (perhaps a by-product of buying an iPhone) but who need protection nonetheless.
For many, no material screams luxury quite like leather - ethical concerns aside. Shoes, coats and bags can all be had - so why not a phone case? French leather crafters Noreve have the answer.
Customizable in various colors, this iPhone case offers protection from scratches and minor falls while looking every inch a decadent option in the process. Personalization options abound, meaning the potential cost can be anything in excess of 60 euros, but for some this will be well worth the money.
For those of you who want a classy leather look without a full folio-style front cover, this case is for you. It comes in multiple colors over a metallic gold or black frame.
Given its low cost, this probably isn't the highest-quality leather case you could pick up, but it's a nice look for a bargain price.
This is one of the cheapest iPhone X cases on the market right now and it should protect your phone from the odd scratch.
We don't think it'll be able to do much to protect your device if you drop it though and the gel material probably won't feel as comfortable on your palms as the glass that's on the back of the iPhone X.
TOZO claims this is the world’s thinnest hard-shell case for the iPhone X and while we can’t be sure whether that’s true or not, it’s certainly very slim at just 0.35mm thick.
That makes it a great choice if you don’t want to add any bulk to your fancy new phone, especially given the low price of this case, which should make it all the more appealing if your bank balance is hurting after buying the iPhone X itself.
However, while it will offer some protection against scrapes, we’re not confident that a case this thin will do much to protect your phone from drops.
Sometimes the simplest option is the best option, and the Spigen Ultra Hybrid iPhone X case is certainly simple.
It’s available in a range of colors, but they all include a transparent back, so you can see your iPhone X in full while keeping it protected.
It’s just a simple polycarbonate hard case, but it’s slim, has pronounced button covers so the buttons are easy to find and press, large cut-outs that can fit most cables, and it’s made from a non-slip material, so you’re less likely to drop your phone.
If you do still drop it though the case sports air cushioned corners, which should help keep your iPhone X in one piece.
It is a given that with a case comes added bulk, but that isn’t always a disadvantage. The Mophie Juice Pack Air crams a 1750mAh battery into its relatively svelte dimensions, providing a longer life for your precious iDevice as well as well as protection from the world.
Claiming to provide an overall battery life of 30 hours, this is one for the frequent travelers, and as a nice bonus offers Qi wireless charging in order to top up easily.
This one may be one of the best looking cases we've seen for the iPhone X so far and the super thin design means the case shouldn't make your phone much bulgier in your pocket.
It's uncertain how protective that vertical camera cut-out will be, but here you'll get the choice of a variety of colors including a bold blue and green. Those aren't colors you can buy the new iPhone X in.
Combining style and protection, the X-Doria Defense Lux case has an anodized aluminum frame with built-in air pockets to absorb shock.
In fact, the case exceeds military drop test standards, so it should keep your iPhone X safer than most, but it also looks good, not just thanks to the aforementioned metal frame, but also because of the back, which comes in a choice of ballistic nylon, black leather, carbon fiber or wood.
That’s an interesting selection of materials, each of which will give the X-Doria Defense Lux case a quite different appearance to most other iPhone X covers.
You might understandably want to put protection first when buying an iPhone X case, and if so the Urban Armor Gear Feather-Light Rugged Case should make for a good option.
It combines a hard outer shell with a soft, impact-resistant core, plus skid pads on the back, which add up to a case that can meet military drop test standards.
It also sports a visually striking – albeit rather rugged – design, and as the name suggests it’s surprisingly light, thanks to a honeycomb structure which also aids its drop protection.
Wireless charging and contactless payments also work through the case, so you’re not losing any functionality.
The Strada series is perhaps one of OtterBox's classiest case sets yet. The Strada iPhone X case features all-around protection thanks to a multi-layer design and a folio cover for the screen.
It's built to absorb shock from falls and protect against scratches and scrapes. Meanwhile, a leather exterior gives it a premium look to compliment the iPhone X, even if it is covering up most of the phone's design. Plus, a card holder will let you keep a credit card with your phone.
It may not be the prettiest case, but the Speck Presidio Grip case offers protection for your iPhone X on the back and sides, while a raised edge can help keep the screen from hitting the floor.
On top of protecting your iPhone X from falls, the Presidio Grip case will also help you avoid the falls in the first place. It has rubberized grips that will give you a better hold on your phone so it doesn't slip out of your hand.
This case features a design that strikes a nice balance between a soft, silicon case and a hard case.
Unlike other cases, this one doesn't have button cutouts or pronounced areas, but they are noted for easy navigation. This results in a low-profile option that has a slick ripple design on its back and a felt material on the inside to prevent scratches.
Available in several colors, this one could be good for those who are looking for a rubbery-feeling case that isn't too loud visually.
This official Apple case is perhaps unsurprisingly one of the most expensive, but it goes some way to justifying the price tag, as it’s crafted from French leather, and unlike the Ullu case above it covers the front of the phone as well as the back, with a wallet-like design.
That means you get more protection and Apple’s also made use of the flap on the front by adding a couple of slots, which you can use to hold cash and cards.
The case will also wake your iPhone X up when you open it, and put it to sleep when closed, and it doesn’t prevent the phone from being wirelessly charged.
The Unbreakcable Case looks simple but it offers all the basics for shock absorption. That includes being made from premium TPU material which reduces the impact when dropped, along with a 0.6mm raised front edge so that your screen is protected when placed face down. The lens is similarly protected too.
There's also an anti-fingerprint coating to keep your phone looking slick and it certainly looks quite stylish for the price thanks to a thin design.
