The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max have been announced, once again causing a flurry of pre-orders. With its new burgundy and black color options, it’s a great looking phone, but if you want to keep it that way, you’ll probably want to consider a case.
The ceramic shield 2 on the front and the ceramic shield on the back will give you drop and scratch resistance; a case gives you that extra layer of protection.
Although it seems a shame to hide the phone, the right case can complement the design and give you a level of individual style. This color pairing and case design say more about you than any of four iPhone 18 Pro colors.
So, to help you make your choice, we’ve rounded up some of the best iPhone 18 Pro cases on the market right now. The ones that do your phone justice, don’t make them cheap.
All these cases are available for both iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max models. It’s worth noting that the exterior of the phone remains unchanged from last year, so iPhone 17 Pro cases will also fit.
We’ll also cover cases for the iPhone Duo in a separate piece soon.
Best cases for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max
Apple cases
Techwoven Case With Magsafe
Prices from £59 / $59
The TechWoven case has replaced leather as Apple’s premium case option, and it now comes in six colors, including burgundy, chambray blue and black colors to match the phones.
Silicone case with MagSafe
Prices from £49 / $49
Still the most popular choice, the silicone case feels great in the hand, giving you plenty of grip. This year, the six colors include a burgundy, crisp blue and black, along with olive, navy blue and a bright magenta.
Prices from £49 / $49
If you really like the color of your new iPhone 18 Pro or Pro Max, you can show it off with this Apple clear case. It provides full protection without blocking the color, allowing burgundy, black, blue or silver to shine through. It’s also MagSafe compatible, so you can still enjoy your wireless charging as if the case wasn’t there at all.
Leather cases
Troubadour full leather case
Prices from £49 / $59
Formerly known as Mujjo cases, the Troubadour leather case is still as stylish. Now made from full-grain Danish calfskin, it doesn’t feel as soft as its previous leather cases, but as such should be a bit tougher. It comes in five colors, including black, tan, terracotta, obsidian green and this basalt that pairs well with the burgundy iPhone 18 Pro.
Mouse Limitless Black Leather
Prices from £64.99 / $74.99
Black leather is one of many finishes for the Mouse Limitless Phone Case, but it’s the only leather. You can also upgrade the case to have metal buttons, a camera protector and a camera kickstand if you want, but it’s still great without it. You get strong magnets for MagSafe charging stations and soft microfiber lining inside.
Casebellé iPhone 18 Pro leather case
Prices from £59 / $79
Made from Tuscan vegetable-tanned grain leather, these MagSafe cases come in 7 colors, including two that match Apple’s latest finishes. These include the Burgundy and Sky Blue cases. They are really nicely finished and look great with the color match.
Prices from £55 / $59
Extending previous compatibility to include the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, the Bellroy phone case compares favorably with the Troubadour cases. The premium leather version is 100% full grain leather and comes in four colors including black, deep ocean, canyon (dark pink) and tan. It also comes in leather alternative versions.
Burton goods luxury pocket book wallet case
Prices from £75 / $99.95
If you prefer a full wallet-style case, this Burton Goods model is a great choice. It combines two cases in one, with a full folio wallet and a removable phone case, both made from premium full-grain leather. The folio can hold 4-6 credit cards and completely covers the screen with a magnetic tab. The case comes in mahogany, deep amber and onyx black, with an option for laser engraving.
Prices from £49 / $59
The modular Troubadour case is still made of full-grain leather like its other case but has a removable section in the back that can be replaced with a MagSafe accessory. This allows your phone case to stay slimmer with the accessory attached. You can buy the matching 3-card leather wallet stand to go with it, which, like this case, comes in five colors, or use another card accessory.
Non-leather cases
OtterBox Sole Series Pack
Prices from £59.99 / $59.99
If you want to look as outdoorsy as you are, the Otterbox Sole Series Pack may be for you. It’s inspired by outdoor footwear and tactical outerwear and has a built-in elastic cord to secure your essentials. This model only comes in Pulse Red but is designed to stand out. Plus it has a 5x military drop test standard, heavy-duty fabric back and built-in MagSafe-compatible magnets.
Prices from £57 / $56
While Casetify makes hundreds of case designs, this Ripple Case really stands out, especially in the Fig Purple color to match the Burgundy iPhone. It is made of a soft touch silicone and has a 3x military standard drop resistance of 6.6ft. It comes in six colors and is compatible with a range of matching accessories, such as the MagSafe card wallet and grip stand.
Prices from £35 / $48
We’re big fans of Wavecase here at T3, not least because they’re UK-designed cases, made from biodegradable materials and support Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) in their war against single-use plastic. They are also great looking cases and come in a choice of 11 colors. You can even add a recycled glass screen protector for complete protection.
Mouse Limitless Phone Case
Prices from £69.99 / $79.99
The mouse has matched its toughest case with the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max phones with color. With its AiroShock technology, it is designed for extreme drop protection and features an aluminum frame and silicone membrane. As with the black leather version, you can add metal buttons, a glass screen protector and a camera protector for extra protection as well.
Native Union (Re) Classic Case
Prices from £39.99 / $49.99
Native Union’s Active Case is a cheaper alternative to its (Re)Classic but is just as stylish. Made from durable recycled materials, it comes in four colors and has drop protection for up to 3 meters.
Benks ArmorEdge Red Case constructed with Kevlar
Prices from £52.50 / $69.99
If you’re looking for a seriously strong iPhone case, this one might be for you. The Benks ArmorEdge case is built with Kevlar – the stuff they make bulletproof vests out of. The woven texture, finished in a red pattern, says old money, while the multi-axis air cushioning and corner protection say, I want my phone in one piece. It’s also available in a Navigator edition, with Magellan maps on the back, if that’s your thing.
