A premium phone needs a premium case. It does not matter whether it’s made of Titanium or Aluminum. At the end of the day, it’s got glass on both sides and glass shatters when gravity makes it hug the ground.
Given the durability issues of the iPhone 15 Pro series, a case is a must-have accessory for your $ 1,000 investment, especially for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The bigger sibling has a more sensitive back glass and can shatter very easily. Several durability tests on YouTube showcased this. Hence, it is essential to get a case that not only fits with your lifestyle but also protects your pocket companion.
If you’ve looked at Amazon or BestBuy or even your local store, you’d know that buying a case for the iPhone 15 Pro is quite a challenge. With every brand claiming they’re the best, it gets confusing for most of us. Don’t worry as we at TechieTechTech understand this and have been testing and reviewing iPhone cases for the past decade. Our team of experts has tested over a hundred cases and
screen protectors to help you buy the right case for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Whether it’s a clear case for the iPhone 15 Pro or a screen protector for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, we’ve tested them all.
We’ve included a wide range of cases because dropping a thousand dollars on a phone and not investing in a good case, isn’t exactly wise. Trust us, we’ve damaged a good amount of iPhones over the years. Let’s jump right into the roundup.

Caseology Capella Kickstand Case
It’d be a crime to hide those Titanium shades. Hence, our top recommendation is usually a clear case. This year, we recommend the Caseology Capella clear case.
If you’ve been following our tests, you’d have noticed we did not include the Spigen Hybrid clear case at the top this time, and we’ve got a good reason for that. The Caseology Capella case offers a built-in kickstand along with the essential MagSafe ring. Meaning, that you can Facetime for hours without actually holding the phone or start recording your videos anywhere without the need to tape it to the wall or mount it on a tripod. Plus, the build quality is reliable as Caseology is a sister brand of Spigen.
The clear TPU build with anti-yellowing technology and polycarbonate layer ensures your iPhone 15 Pro Max won’t shatter because of reliable shock absorption in the corners.
Just like last year, there are raised lips around the camera bump that keep those Pro camera lenses safe from your daily wear and tear. In case you’re wondering, this iPhone 15 Pro Max clear case is military-grade certified and seamlessly works with iPhone wireless chargers and MagSafe accessories.
Even though it’s a clear case, It comes in four different color variants that have colored MagSafe rings and kickstands. You can get this clear case for the iPhone 15 Pro series in charcoal, white, red, and titan blue colors.

The cardholder offers the convenience of carrying multiple cards without the need for a separate wallet. It can hold up to 3 cards and even some cash.
