When you’re spending a fortune on an iPhone 15, it’s wise to invest a little more in its security. iPhone cases protect it from spills, abrasive surfaces and shock. It would be even better if it doubled as a wallet to store cards and cash.
After thorough research, we’ve compiled a list of the best options iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max case. Speck’s Presidio ClickLock won the award for Best Overall Case for iPhone 15.

Best Overall Case – Speck Presidio ClickLock case
The first case for my first touch device, the iPod Touch, was from Speck. Speck has been in this game for as long as I can remember. For the best overall case, I recommend the Presidio ClickLock case, which retails for $50.
As the name suggests, it features an interlocking snap system that ensures the MagSafe accessory is securely attached to your phone. So, in addition to the magnetic connection, your MagSafe products (wallets, car vent holders, stand handles) can also snap into a small slot. This unique feature is useful for larger phones like the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which are heavier and more likely to fall out of car vents and the like.
Best Budget Case – Spigen Magnetic Ultra Hybrid MagFit Case
You can’t buy a Spigen quality iPhone 15 case for less than $20. At just $19, this is one of the best budget cases on the market. It has a clear, minimalist look, a magnet on the back, and supports MagSafe charging. Raised edges around the screen and camera provide protection, and integrated air cushion technology ensures your phone is protected from shock.
Yellowing is often a problem with clear plastic phone cases. This product uses blue resin to help prevent yellowing. Please note that this is a case specifically for the iPhone 15 and is not compatible with the 15 Pro, 15 Plus or 15 Pro Max.
Best Wallet Case — Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 1
I’ve never been a fan of sticky card holders on the back of phone cases. They are very unreliable and typically one in four of your cards will be compromised. I also have friends who have experienced unfortunate things.
Smartish Wallet Slayer is something I feel comfortable using my cards with. The entire back is a huge pocket that can hold up to three cash cards. It’s also privacy-focused, so your card is completely hidden from public view. Built-in springs in the pocket allow for easy deployment, and a thumb slot on the other end lets you quickly slide out whatever you want. They weren’t kidding when they said it was a wallet killer.
The only problem is that it’s not MagSafe compatible, to which the company says, “Just plug it in and gosh darn it.”
Best iPhone 15 Pro Max Case — Mujjo Leather Case
You may have questions about this quality phone case. It is made from European leather and is tanned using a special DriTan process which ensures the leather does not age prematurely as uneven wear is a major issue. The bezels are raised to around 1mm to ensure protection from wearing surfaces, and there’s an aluminum camera bump around the rear lens. It also works with all your MagSafe accessories. The Mujjo case’s design and performance justify its hefty price tag of $60.
Best Budget iPhone 15 Pro Max Case — Spigen Magnetic Rugged Armor Case
For only $23, this case offers impressive protection. It is made of PC, TPU and impact foam and is known for its reliability. A quick lesson on materials to give you an idea of what you’re spending on PC (polycarbonate), known for its toughness and strength, and TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), known for its resistance to oil, grease, and abrasion Sex becomes a common choice.
Because Spigen’s Tough Armor case is designed specifically for iPhone 15 Pro Max, it’s also fully compatible with MagSafe accessories. It provides 39% more magnetism than regular MagSafe cases for stronger connectivity. The case also features a built-in kickstand for hands-free viewing.
