If you’ve passed on AppleCare and don’t opt for your carrier’s insurance, you could be looking at dropping at least $130 to repair a cracked iPhone screen. The functionality and aesthetics of cases have come a long way in the last few years. Now they preserve the phone’s clean lines and rely on shock-absorbing polymers to keep it safe without adding bulk to your pocket. Some come with a screen protector, applied as a sticker or attached to the case, while others use raised edges to keep the touch-sensitive screen off surfaces like a table. No matter what iPhone you’re rocking, from an older 6 that refuses to die to the newest 12 with the advanced cameras, you’ll want to keep it covered.
