Apple's iPhone 16 lineup is here, and it packs a big punch. But if you aren’t planning on upgrading, the iPhone 15 Plus is still a formidable phone for just about any user. Its large, crystal-clear 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with Dynamic Island, A16 Bionic chip for fast performance with iOS 18, and powerful dual-camera setup with 48-megapixel main and 12MP ultrawide lenses are nothing to sneeze at. And of course, you can charge it up with USB-C, since Apple finally ditched its proprietary Lightning charger as of the iPhone 15's 2023 debut.
Even after price drops, the iPhone 15 Plus is still a pricey phone, whether you’re buying new or upgrading from an older model. You can expect to pay $799 for the base model, which is still a hefty chunk of change. If you’re parting with that much cash, you’ll definitely want to protect your investment, and one of the easiest ways to do so is with a good case (and a screen protector helps out too!). Here are some of the best iPhone 15 Plus cases you can buy right now.
The best clear iPhone 15 Plus case
Speck Clear Case
- Choice of clear or transparent colors
- Up to 8 feet of drop protection
- Non-yellowing material
- Slim and lightweight
- MagSafe compatibility
- Some reviewers said this case didn't properly fit their phones
A clear case is the perfect option to show off your new iPhone 15 Plus, and they don't come much better than this one from Speck, a trusted brand when it comes to protection. This case comes in crystal clear or a selection of tinted clear options, such as purple clear or pink clear. The case is made with anti-yellowing material, so it won't become discolored over time.
You get up to 8 feet of drop protection and this slim, lightweight case withstands scratches, with a raised ring around the camera for added protection. It's also compatible with all your favorite MagSafe accessories.
The best slim iPhone 15 Plus case
Apple Silicone Case
- Wide choice of colors
- Perfect fit for your phone
- Soft microfiber lining
- MagSafe compatible
- Non-slip silicone finish
- There's better drop protection out there
It's one of the more expensive options on our list, but Apple's Silicone Case is designed from the ground up for iPhone 15 Plus, so you're guaranteed a perfect fit. The soft, grippy silicone makes it less likely you'll drop your phone, while a brushed microfiber lining cushions your device against scratches.
You can pick up this case in a wide choice of colors, but we'd go for Orange Sorbet. It's compatible with MagSafe accessories thanks to the built-in magnets, and its slim profile doesn't add bulk, so you can slip your iPhone into your pocket on the go.
The best leather wallet iPhone 15 Plus case
Snakehive Leather Wallet Case
- Genuine European Nubuck leather
- Slots for cards and cash
- Magnetic closure keeps everything secure
- Choice of five colors
- Folds into a landscape stand
- Takes time for leather to become flexible enough to fold into stand
A leather wallet case is the perfect accessory for your new iPhone, and it means you can leave your wallet at home! We love this one from Snakehive, which is crafted from genuine European Nubuck leather. It has a suede-like finish that feels great to hold and will develop its own unique patina over time, so no two cases will end up looking the same.
Open the leather cover, and you'll find three slots for cards and a money compartment. The raised phone casing protects your camera lens from scratches, while the leather outer lip of the case adds extra protection should you drop your phone. Speaking of drops, the magnetic closure ensures the wallet stays firmly closed should your phone hit the deck.
The case folds out into a handy landscape stand, great for hands-free video calls. Some reviewers noted that the leather isn't initially flexible enough to fold into a stand, but this should loosen up over time. It also comes with a 12-month warranty for peace of mind.
The best stylish iPhone 15 Plus case
Carveit Magnetic Wood Case
- Natural wood and TPU construction
- Wood grain unique to every case
- Compatible with MagSafe accessories
- Excellent shock and drop resistance
- Limited range of colors and designs
- Not compatible with magnetic car phone holders
A wood case offers something a little different and is the perfect stylish option if you want to stand out in a crowd. Carveit's wood cases come in 12 different designs and finishes — we love the Darkwood finish, pictured.
This case is more than just attractive to look at, though. Lightweight yet protective, it's constructed from natural wood with a soft TPU backing for excellent drop protection and shock resistance. The wood grain in every case is unique, showing off the natural beauty of the material. An elevated lip around the camera and screen prevent your phone's most delicate areas from ever touching down, while the built-in magnet ensures compatibility with MagSafe accessories.
It's worth noting here that the wood material affects the magnetic grip, so the manufacturer doesn't recommend using this case with magnetic phone holders in your car.
The best grip iPhone 15 Plus case
Speck Presidio2 Grip MagSafe Case
- Slim profile
- Super grippy
- Fun colors
- MagSafe-compatible
- 13-foot drop protection
- Limited color range
Speck has been a trusted name for phone protection for many years, and the Presidio2 Grip MagSafe case remains one of the best you can find for the iPhone 15 Plus. With the inverted grip design, it provides exceptional grip so it's hard to drop the phone. And with the inverted design, it is less prone to wearing out like the old design with the rubber grips that protruded. It's one of the grippiest cases on the market.
The Presidio2 Grip MagSafe also retains a slim profile and clicky tactile buttons, and it also has impressive 13-foot drop protection thanks to the air capsules all around the sides and corners. So if you somehow manage to drop the phone with this case on, it should still be safe and sound. The case is made with 50% recycled materials, has a Microban coating to protect from stain- and odor-causing bacteria, and is fully MagSafe compatible.
The best rugged iPhone 15 Plus case
Ghostek Atomic Slim Case
- Military-grade rugged protection
- Supports MagSafe and wireless charging
- Shock-absorbing TPU and aluminum alloy
- Includes rotating belt clip holster
- Relatively affordable
- No built-in screen protector
If you need rugged protection for your iPhone 15 Plus, Ghostek's Atomic Slim 4 case is a great, alternative to the more over-the-top options on the market. Crafted from shock-absorbing R7X, TPU, and aluminum, it has a raised bezel and rugged corners to keep your camera array and screen as pristine as possible.
In addition to offering military-grade drop protection that has you covered even with drops from up to 12 feet, the Atomic Slim 4 is also compatible with MagSafe and wireless charging, so you can juice your device up quickly.
The best kickstand iPhone 15 Plus case
Spigen Ultra Hybrid S MagFit Case
- Simple clear case
- Durable protection
- MagSafe
- Integrated kickstand
- Color only affects MagSafe ring
Need a simple clear case that lets you enjoy hands-free viewing with a little something extra? Spigen's Ultra Hybrid S MagFit case gets the job done. This clear case is made with a blend of PC and TPU for flexibility and durability. You'll have the raised edges to protect the screen and cameras, and the buttons have great tactile feedback. Plus, with the materials, it's easy to get on and off when needed. It's also infused with blue resin for long-lasting clarity, so don't expect this one to turn yellow any time soon.
What makes this case really great is that it not only has MagSafe, but it has a built-in kickstand. Just flip that kickstand out and enjoy hands-free viewing with your iPhone 15 Plus. It's integrated nicely and isn't in the way when you don't need it either.
The best customizable iPhone 15 Plus case
Casetify Impact Case
- Super tough protection
- Slim profile
- Tons of designs and colors
- Website offers customization options
- Eight foot drop protection
- MagSafe
- Very expensive
- Branding around camera cutout
Casetify is one of the best brands out there for slim but incredibly tough and durable cases. You can find several different color options from Amazon, but if you check out Casetify's website, there are hundreds of different designs and colors to choose from, as well as unique collaborations like with Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, Evangelion, NBA, One Piece, and so much more. You can even customize and design your own case if you so choose.
The Impact Case is one of the best offerings from Casetify. It has a fairly slim profile, but it is incredible tough, durable, and rugged for what it's worth. Casetify also uses recycled materials from old phone cases in their cases, so they're sustainable as well. I've been using Casetify cases for a long time, and they remain some of my favorites.
Though we're talking about the Impact case here, Casetify also has some even more rugged offerings, such as the new Ultra Bounce Case, which offers drop protection up to 32-feet, but it will cost you a pretty penny ($100+).
The best soft iPhone 15 Plus case
ESR Cloud Series Slim Liquid Silicone Case
- Super thin profile
- Soft touch silicone material
- Tough protection
- Adds grip
- MagSafe
- Not everyone likes silicone
Like the soft touch feel of silicone? Then ESR offers an affordable option compared to Apple's own silicone cases. The Cloud Series Liquid Silicone Case from ESR has a silky-smooth silicone material that is soft and grippy. It also has a triple-layer build with a rigid polycarbonate core, silicone exterior that absorbs shock, and a velvety soft microfiber lining to prevent scratches. And despite being silicone, it has military grade drop protection.
And yes, this ESR case does have MagSafe support! You have 1,200g of holding force so it's actually quite strong. If you ever encountered a weak MagSafe ring, then don't worry — this ESR case will have a secure lock with your favorite MagSafe accessories.
The best hybrid iPhone 15 Plus case
Burga Case
- Elegant and stylish design
- Two-layer protection
- Several different designs to pick from
- Affordable
- Scratch resistant
- More feminine designs
Burga's cases come in unique, elegant designs that will definitely turn heads when you're out and about. These cases also feature a hybrid design with two layers of protection. The first is the inner shock absorbing silicone layer that will keep your device safe from impact. Then you snap the hard plastic shell on top.
The shell is scratch-resistant, and the HD printed designs won't fade or peel away. And the Burga cases have a raised lip around the front glass to keep it safe if you place the device face down.
The best simple iPhone 15 Plus case
OtterBox Symmetry Series for MagSafe Case
- Simple design
- Slim profile
- Military-grade protection
- Multiple color options
- MagSafe compatible
- Pricey
OtterBox is a brand that is known for tough and rugged cases. But the Symmetry Series is a slimmer profile than it's rugged options, so it won't add much bulk. But despite being more slim, the Symmetry Series still offers OtterBox's incredibly tough and durable protection. When your phone is in the case, it will definitely be protected from any drops, bumps, and everyday wear and tear.
The Symmetry Series also comes in multiple color options to go with all of your outfits. This one is also MagSafe compatible, and it has clicky, tactile buttons that feel great when pressed. OtterBox is a trusted brand, and the Symmetry offers its military grade protection in a non-bulky form factor.
The best patterned iPhone 15 Plus case
Caseology Parallax Mag Case
- Slim and sleek profile
- Durable protection
- Aesthetically pleasing pattern
- Ergonomic tactile feel
- Few color options
Caseology's Parallax Mag case comes with built-in MagSafe support beneath a soft, grippy exterior. It's available in three colors, each with an attractive geometric pattern design. Made from military-grade TPU and 3D Hexa Cube materials, it's a two-tone case that also puts in work to keep your device safe, with an additional layer of protection around the camera.
While many grippy cases rely more on harder, rougher materials, the Parallax Mag option is a softer, more malleable option that has a touch of modern design that's pleasing to the eye as well as the hand. You'll find it more comfortable to hold in comparison to a more rugged or even a clear case.
The best all-around iPhone 15 Plus case
i-Blason Ares Mag Case
- Full 360-degree protection
- MagSafe-compatible
- Strong magnets
- Built-in screen protector
- Variety of colors
Looking for something that will keep your device completely protected? The i-Blason Ares Mag will get the job done. This case comes in a variety of colors that will perfectly match your iPhone 15 Plus of choice! It also offers complete 360-degree protection while retaining a slim profile.
You don't even have to worry about a screen protector with this case, as it has an integrated screen protector built-in! And it doesn't compromise on touch sensitivity and prevents scratches and cracks to the actual device screen. The bumpers all around will keep your device safe from the impact of bumps, drops, and other scuffs. And best of all, there is MagSafe compatibility with strong magnets, so your accessories won't come off easily.
The best rugged kickstand iPhone 15 Plus case
Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro Mag Case
- Rugged protection
- Built-in kickstand and phone grip
- MagSafe compatible
- Integrated belt-clip holster
- Only comes in black
While we already have a Supcase case on this list, this new model is even better. It offers the same rugged protection that you'd expect from Supcase, all at an affordable price.
This model is mostly the same with full 360-degree protection and an integrated belt holster clip, but it also has some new features. For example, this version is MagSafe-compatible if you need to use your phone with MagSafe accessories like car mounts, chargers, and more. It also has a phone grip that can double as a kickstand. The only problem is that this one only comes in black.
The best iPhone 15 Plus case with ring stand
Poetic MagPro Case with Ring Stand
- Magnetic ring stand
- Dual-layer protection
- Very protective
- Adds grip
- Only two colors
Poetic's brand of iPhone cases aren't just attractive but they're also reliably strong and durable. The Neon MagPro line with ring stands are even more useful, as their magnetic rings are useful in ways you might not have realized you needed. The cases are created up to military drop standards and are ultra rugged, crafted with dual-layer flexible TPE and PC with reinforced corners, bumpers, and raised lips so you won't have to worry as much when you have inevitable drops.
The back of the device includes the magetic ring stand that you can use horizontally and vertically as well as a non-slip pattern to keep the phone in your hand and safe. You can choose from two colors: a black and orange hybrid as well as a dreamy pink combo, but you may be left wanting for other colors.
