One minute you buy a new phone (iPhone 16) and the next minute you drop it…ughhhhh! That feeling is so annoying! According to Apple, the iPhone 16 series comes with a Ceramic Shield glass that is said to be twice as strong. Regardless of this, a mere 4-foot drop (to your pavement, for instance) is enough to shatter the display of your iPhone 16. That is the reason why I NEVER back down from recommending cases.
I don’t have to keep saying this all the time: your iPhone is expensive so you should get a case or a screen protector to keep it safe. However, you should have this at the back of your mind that if you invest in a case or screen protector doesn’t mean that your iPhone is invincible. I really can’t guarantee that phone protectors can prevent your screen from shattering, of course not! Nevertheless, they improve the odds!
In this article, I’m going to show you the best cases in 2024 for your iPhone, iPad, Airpods, and Samsung Galaxy phones.
Best Clear Cases
For iPhone
I personally enjoy showcasing the natural beauty of my iPhone. In fact, it is one of the things I love doing most of the time. Are you like me? Do you love to showcase your iPhone’s beauty without loosing protection? Trust me, this iPhone 16 Pro clear case is the way to go! Now, that is just the beginning tho… Apart from the transparency of this clear case, it is also sleek and lightweight. Believe me when I say it adds no extra bulk. Moreover, it is a MagSafe-compatible case perfectly packed with full protection for your iPhone 16 Pro. You’ll definitely love the way it snaps to your iPhone because it has a built-in magnetic ring with 1,200 g of holding force. Try it out and thank me later!
For Samsung:
Where are my Samsung lovers? You know what, clear cases aren’t made for Apple alone. Just like Apple products, ESR also caters to the needs of Samsung users! I recommended this Galaxy s24 ultra classic hybrid case set to a friend of mine. When I first recommended this case, my friend doubted the strength of this case. I don’t blame him tho…the case was just too transparent to be true! Although my friend was doubtful about it at first, the outcome cleared every doubt! With this Clare case, you can easily style your Galaxy S24 and show its sleek original look. The sweetest part is that it comes with military-grade protection and full MagSafe compatibility. You can be sure of a strong magnetic ring that lets you snap on various MagSafe accessories like stands, chargers, wallets, power banks, and more.
For iPad
Similar to the iPhone and Samsung that I already mentioned, this iPad case is super cool. Honestly, it’s not just the transparency that beats me, but the shock-absorbing air guard corners that provide unbeatable protection against bumps and drops. This case is lightweight and clear therefore allowing you to show off your iPad while providing hybrid protection. I guarantee you that this iPad case is perfect for your needs as it is beautiful, and will also protect both screen and camera with raised edges. Highly recommend this case, just buy it and feel it!
Best Cases with a Stand
For iPhone
Have you ever felt like you’re tired of holding up your iPhone? Yeah, I know that iPhones may not be too heavy to hold; however, sometimes you just need to give your fingers a break! Now, that’s where this case comes in handy. With this case, you can browse the internet or watch videos at a comfortable angle using your iPhone 16 Pro Max. This MagSafe Flickstand case has two stable viewing positions that make usage more easy while charging your iPhone 16 Pro Max. It has reinforced corners for added protection and the clear see-through nature of the case helps to maintain a sleek silhouette. With this product, just forget props! The kickstand provides sturdy freestanding ability without using props. You definitely can’t go wrong with this one.
Here’s another awesome iPhone case with a stand but it’s only compatible with the iPhone 16 Pro. With this classic hybrid case with stash stand, you can enjoy the luxury of ultimate convenience. This MagSafe-compatible clear case for iPhone 16 Pro features a built-in kickstand for stable viewing while offering military-grade protection for your iPhone 16 Pro. Now, let me give you a little specifics about this case: it features a magnet with strong magnetic force that keeps your charger attached to your iPhone 16 Pro. In addition to MagSafe compatibility, this case also covers all the buttons on your iPhone 16 Pro and are responsive to give you a premium experience. I really like how the case fits to the edges of the photo touch control. In fact, some other cases that are more expensive don’t have this nice fit around them.
For Samsung S series
I know what you’ve been thinking…isn’t this guy gonna talk about the Samsung S series? Hey, relax, I gat you!
If you are amazed by what you’ve seen so far from the above-mentioned iPhone cases, then get ready to be astonished! This Boost Flickstand Case is the best case available to cater to the needs of Galaxy S24 Ultra users. This case allows you to make the most of MagSafe with flickstand. This case offers users 2 enjoyable and stable stand positions meaning you can use it in portrait or landscape mode even while you charge. Talking about aesthetics, this case is a killer! It is beautifully made from high-quality materials for durability.
Similar to the aforementioned, this case works well with your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Do you know one of the things that interests me the most about this case? It is the fact that is transparent yet has tough protection. Don’t be fooled by its appearance because you’ll be surprised! The kickstand is made from premium aluminum-alloy and is lab-tested to last over 3,000 uses for powerful, long-lasting stability. In addition to this, it is reinforced with shock-absorbing Air Guard corners to provide powerful protection against drops and bumps. As if that is not enough, itals features a built-in kickstand for on-demand hands-free viewing for your Galaxy S24 series, and also has 3 stand modes between the angles of 30° to 60° in portrait or landscape for a better way to watch, video chat, and browse.
Looking for something more stylish? Check out this innovative clear hybrid case with Camera-Guard kickstand. Now let me tell you why you should get this case: this case has a camera guard that doubles as a stashstand. What this means is that you don’t have to worry about camera protection and hands free viewing. Should you drop your phone you can rest assured that the screen and the camera would be protected. I have been using this case for a good few months (of course before I upgraded to the S24 Ultra) and must say I am impressed by it’s overall build quality especially the stashstand. Indeed ESR products continue to be very good and willnot let you down on quality.
For iPad series：

Have you ever heard the phrase “transform and do it all”? This shift magnetic case is what we are talking about. You can unleash the true potential of your iPad with this ultimate do-it-all case and trust me, you’ll love the case! It is very sturdy, has multiple viewing angles, and super strong magnetic grip. The magnet is so strong you don’t have to worry about whether or not it will slip. Of course it wont!

I really love the ability to change how it can be placed either landscape or portrait.
Are looking for the best case that perfectly fits your iPad mini 7/mini 6? Your long search is now over! This is a lightweight case that features built-in durable aluminum-alloy kickstand and lets you enjoy hands-free viewing anytime, anywhere. In my opinion, this is the perfect case for the iPad mini A17 Pro because it makes up for several of its flaws. Firstly, the case has a stand that supports vertical orientation, which is the assumed position of the iPad on video calls. In addition, it doesn’t rely on magnets, which are in a different position than the previous generation iPad mini. This case will definitely give you rest of mind for your iPad mini 7/6.
