Typically, we advise looking for a case with some shock-absorbing qualities, but we also understand that some people are willing to sacrifice the extra protection in favor of a thin case. If you’re looking for the thinnest possible option for your iPhone 15, 14, 13, 12, or 11, we recommend the Caudabe Veil. It’s similar to most other cases in this category, with the same molded plastic exterior and absence of shock-absorbing air pockets or button covers. However, it stands out from the competition with its textured surface, which provides more grip compared with other cases that are totally smooth—and it doesn’t feel rough or uncomfortable to hold in any way.
