Possibly the best value-for-money case we've found for the iPhone 14 Pro, this Encased collection offers not only a transparent crystal-clear MagSafe-compatible phone case, but has extra awesome accessories bundled in too!
Encased offers an extremely wide variety of cases to suit every need, including cases that come with a lanyard strap, durable rugged cases, and those with built-in kickstands and geometric patterns - whatever your style, encased has you covered.
This set in particular Includes a tempered glass screen protector for the iPhone 14 Pro, giving you full 360-degree coverage for your device.

3. OtterBox Strada Series wallet case
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Otterbox is a brand known for its remarkable layers of protection and high-quality, durable smartphone cases. This Strada Folio series wallet case from Otterbox is no exception, offering 3x as many drops tested to military-grade standards. It has a vertical slot to secure cash and up to two cards, and a raised camera edge.
The case is fully MagSafe and wireless charging compatible, although due to the thickness of the case and leather elements, it did struggle a little to connect to my Benks power bank and magnetic car mount, having to find the sweet spot, as there are no magnets embedded into this case so MagSafe charging is a little weak.
Overall this case offers excellent protection in a stylish format, with a useful magnetic latch that keeps the folio case closed to prevent any accidental touchscreen usage when in pockets. OtterBox also offers a limited lifetime warranty on most of its cases, including this one.
4. Kate Spade New York Hardshell Case
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
This pretty case from Kate spade New York is ideal for those wanting to add a bit of glam to their iPhone 14 Pro, with a case that offers both style and protection. While it might not be the best iPhone 14 Pro case on the market in the way of military-grade protection, it does have a shock-absorbing cushioned bumper, that can provide adequate protection for drops of up to 12 feet.
The unique dual-layered bumper case is co-molded in construction for protection against bumps and drops, and also boasts built-in magnets for MagSafe and other methods of wireless charging. This case is protective and lightweight, despite being covered in diamonds. If you're outside of the US, this case can be ordered directly from Kate Spade New York via Incipio and offers worldwide shipping.
Scratch-resistant coatings on the case act to keep the cover looking glamorous, with additional antimicrobial technology that protects against 99.9% of surface bacteria that may occur on your phone case without you even realizing it. Made with recycled materials, this case is great for the environment, but maybe not for our wallets, as with almost all designer brands, this case is on the expensive side for sure.
Styled in Kate Spade New York's signature colors, designs, and materials, this case admittedly might not be suited to everyone's tastes - but it does come with a lifetime limited warranty for peace of mind that your new iPhone 14 Pro is covered for the long-term.
5.CASETiFY Bounce Case for iPhone 14 Pro
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
This offering from CASETiFY is available in multiple colors and has been tested to the extreme! The Bounce case is said to have survived a series of over 156 drops on all angles, by impacting on a concrete and steel floor, meaning it is able to achieve an impressive 6x the requirement for military-grade approval, also sporting a drop height protection of 21.3 feet.
An upgraded of its best-selling Impact and Ultra Impact Series, the latest CASETiFY Bounce Case is the most protective phone case of its kind, featuring genius EcoShock™ technology (patent-pending) that provides impact cushioning and dissipation through reinforced inner sides and the back of the case.
The EcoShock™ material is plant-based, and able to convert the kinetic energy of an impact into heat, while twister patterns dissipate it across the surface of the case. As part of the company’s “Re/CASETiFY” upcycling program, the recyclable case can be returned to the brand by customers after use, in exchange for store credits.
The “Bounce Corners” are inspired by suspension bridges, in an innovation that resulted from a rigorous drop testing process to identify that 70% of a device’s most vulnerable points were located in the four corners. These cases are available in multiple colors with a 2,000+ design catalog to choose from, with customization also available directly from CASETiFY's website.
6. Moment Case for iPhone 14 Pro
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
These Moment cases for the iPhone 14 Pro are great for avid smartphone photographers who use additional detachable lenses such as macro and fisheye frequently, with options to purchase drop-in lens mounts (sold separately) for moment lenses to fit snuggly to your phone case. These cases are primarily available in the US, although Moment does ship worldwide when purchasing directly.
Fitted with a super strong (M) Force magnet array, and compatible with the complete range of Moment Mounts for MagSafe, these cases are perfectly designed for photographers and adventurers with busy lifestyles who rely on Moment's range of everyday mounts and accessories, such as those for your car, bike, and office phone stands for easier access and browsing.
The drop-in Lens Interface includes three locating points to keep attached lenses tight, secure, and precise. The proprietary front-mounting snap feature also allows you to mount Moment's newest CineClear Protection Filter and 67mm Filter Adapter to your case with ease, allowing filter effects to be added to your camera as well as protecting your camera lenses.
Aside from being compatible with Moment's range of mounts and lenses, these cases offer 6-foot drop protection for your device and include additional internal shock-absorbing geometry. A series of ribs that surround the edges of the phone case are specifically designed to direct force away during potential impact.
7. ESR Classic Kickstand Case with HaloLock
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
This clear case from ESR is an excellent choice for those wanting something simple in the way of protection for their new Apple device, but also a unique feature that other cases may not offer, in reference to the oddly-positioned kickstand in the form of a Camera Guard. This guard/stand has been supposedly tested to withstand 3,000 uses, so you can rest assured that the hinge it won't snap anytime soon.
The case, while sturdy and durable, is a little on the basic side offering the bare minimum that you might expect from your phone case with MagSafe compatibility and full bumper coverage. The zinc-alloy construction of the camera guard and stand keep it always looking like new.
Overall, the main features of this case on offer include military-grade drop protection, 'Air-Guard' corners, a scratch-resistant acrylic back, and raised edges combine to keep your phone protected from drops, bumps, and scratches.
8. Urban Armor Gear Monarch Pro and Pathfinder cases
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
These cases from Urban Armor Gear (UAG) are extremely rugged and perfect for protecting your iPhone 14 Pro in situations that pose a higher risk of damage, for example when rock climbing or working in areas of construction. Soft raised edges surround the case with a raised camera bezel to protect the lens and phone screen.
Both of these cases are both extremely similar aesthetically, although the Monarch Pro case offers a few extra benefits such as greater drop protection (25ft) and 5 layers of protection that include UAG's signature tough armor frame, shock-resistant core, layered with additional leather, polycarbonate shear plate, alloy metal hardware, and impact-resistant rubber surround, and not to mention a hex pattern for increased shock absorption.
The Pathfinder case boasts feather-light composite construction, with the same hard outer armor shell as the Monarch case, also with an impact-resistant soft core, and enhanced corner protection with tough TPU, although the pathfinder differs by its inclusion of torsion screw details.
Both cases are equipped with traction grip that surrounds the case to ease handling, with ultra-responsive tactile buttons that deliver a crisp and clean click-feel, and an integrated lanyard anchor that allows for on the go functionality and attachment.
9. Incipio Grip, Idol, and Forme cases
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
I received these cases from Incipio for review, and each of the three models are extremely similar with minor design features, therefore I decided to lump them together in this guide as whichever Incipio model you chose, you're guaranteed the best protection for your new iPhone 14 Pro device.
The Incipio Grip case (clear/white) is fitted with form-fitting and grip technology that is designed to stop and prevent drops before they occur, keeping your phone safe and secure in your hand as often as possible. In addition, this case also boats Multidirectional x-grips to prevent slippage in all directions, and the clear cases are each equipped with scratch and discoloration-resistant (anti-yellow) coatings.
Each of these Incipio cases offers a minimum of 10ft drop protection, with antimicrobial surface protection that eliminates and prevents 99.9% of bacteria. These cases also boast ultra-responsive buttons with Impact Struts technology to reduce impact force in instances of inevitable drops and accidents.
Incipio offers a lifetime warranty on these cases, manufactured to extremely high quality, and each case feels sturdy and durable with raised edge, screen, and camera protection. While the Grip case offers the best protection, the Forme case is by far the prettiest, for those wanting the basic levels of protection with a bit of flair.
10. Rokform Rugged Series case
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
This ultra-rugged and water-resistant case from Rokform is perfect for those who regularly get out and about, and for the adventurous types who need a durable case to support their device when climbing a mountain or hiking in rural areas. Offering heavy-duty protection, super strong dual magnets, having been drop tested to MIL-STD 801G-516.6, and with shock-absorbent features, this case is indestructible.
With a slim and lightweight yet durable design, this case has been crafted to fit your smartphone perfectly and features six-sided, 360-degree protection with a raised bezel around the screen and camera unit, so you'll never have to worry about those minor accidental drops ever again.
Constructed of high-impact polycarbonate armor with reinforced corners, this case offers enhanced protection that's up to 4x more than other cases. Rokform also offers a 2-year warranty on its entire case catalog, with proven 5-star customer support to assist you with any issues with your case down the line.
11. OtterBox Figura Series Case with MagSafe
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
This iPhone 14 Pro case from OtterBox is amazingly patterned and just as protective as your standard OtterBox case, with double the color. The ultra-slim, one-piece design attaches to your iPhone with ease, especially with MagSafe equipped into the back of the case allowing for a seamless snap-on connection with your device.
The flexible, soft-touch material feels great to hold but doesn't offer the best grip, it may be best to pair this case with one of the best magnetic smartphone accessories on the market to attach a MagSafe-compatible grip or pop socket to the back of your case and enhance how you use your device.
Overall, this case offers OtterBox-level protection for your iPhone 14 Pro that you can trust, from a leading and well-respected brand, while offering a stylistic form of artistic expression where you can showcase your favorite blend of color through your marble phone case.
How we test
In all honesty, there's no real way to test a phone case thoroughly enough without actually putting our own phones in danger. So for this reason, we base our recommendations on things like comfort and grip, case texture, compatibility with MagSafe and Qi wireless functions, manufacturer reputation, additional features such as kickstands and wallet slots, and most importantly - value for money.
Ultimately, the phone case you choose has to reflect your own personal style or at least be functional enough to match your daily routine. We weren't born yesterday, though, and we know that most manufacturers will exaggerate and upsell key features of their phone cases knowing that you'll never test them.
For example, some cases might be listed with 14ft drop protection, but we aren't about to find out for ourselves whether or not that's true. With this in mind, we recommend cases from brands that we guarantee you can trust having tested other products from its range, that we would add to our own baskets or gift to relatives.
Need some extra accessories?
Do you prioritize your iPhone 14 Pro's camera safety above anything else? Then you might want to consider a case fitted with a raised lip or edges that offer advanced drop protection, and for extra precaution, you may even desire to invest in a separate camera lens protector for your new iPhone 14 Pro.
