Keep your iPhone 13 mini in pristine condition by protecting it with a durable case that fits your style.

The iPhone 13 mini is one of the best iPhones around, especially if you want something compact and affordable. It has the same 5.4-inch size as the iPhone 12 mini, but changes to the camera bump mean you can't use iPhone 12 mini cases on the 13 mini.

If you want to protect your new iPhone, you'll need one of the new cases designed for the iPhone 13 mini. There's a wide selection of different iPhone 13 mini cases available, ranging from Apple's official cases to heavy-duty and affordable cases from third-party makers.

Here are the best iPhone 13 mini cases available right now.

If you want the perfect case for your iPhone 13 mini, you won't go wrong with the official cases from Apple. The Silicone Case with MagSafe fits the iPhone 13 mini like a glove and offers full MagSafe functionality. It works with all MagSafe accessories, such as Apple's MagSafe Charger and MagSafe Battery Pack.

The case also comes in different colors to match your iPhone 13 mini. Like any other product you would expect from Apple, the build quality of this case is exceptional, offering just the right form of protection without the extra bulk.

It won't stand up to serious drops like heavy-duty cases, but it does a fantastic job protecting your phone from scratches, dents, and minor drops. In addition, the soft microfiber interior keeps your phone looking as good as new.

The Spigen Mag Armor is one of the best third-party iPhone 13 mini cases with MagSafe. It's more affordable than the Apple silicone case, despite providing better protection from drops and bangs. The only downside is that it comes only in black. If you want to match the color of your iPhone 13 mini, your best option is the Apple Silicone Case.

The integrated magnets in this case work well with Apple MagSafe accessories and those from other manufacturers, such as Anker. Spigen reinforced the corners with Air Cushion Technology to provide solid drop protection. It has a raised lip as well, to prevent surface scratches on the screen and camera lens.

Add in the extra grip provided by the textured exterior, and you have the ideal slim case with MagSafe for your iPhone 13 mini.

If you're looking for an inexpensive clear case for your new iPhone 13 mini, look no further than the JETech Clear Case. This case will show off your iPhone's original design while keeping it away from harm's way. It comes in at half the price of most clear cases without compromising on durability and wireless charging.

The durable, scratch-resistant polycarbonate backing and shock-absorbing bumper combine to provide stronger protection against drops, scratches, and other damage. It has all the features we love about phone cases, such as a great fit and raised lips for extra camera and screen protection.

Like most cheap clear cases, this case will turn yellow over time. However, getting a replacement should be easy considering the price.

The Tough Armor is one of the best iPhone 13 mini cases you can get from Spigen. It packs great impact and drop protection into a case that feels so lightweight and comfortable to hold. Most heavy-duty cases feature a mix of polycarbonate and TPU material, but Spigen takes it a notch higher with an extra layer of foam for the best possible protection.

Unlike other rugged cases, the Tough Armor doesn't add unwanted bulk and fully supports wireless charging. It fits snugly and comes with a unique and attractive two-tone finish with different color options to complement your iPhone 13 mini.

To make it better, Spigen included a built-in kickstand for a comfortable, hands-free viewing experience.

The Commuter Series iPhone 13 mini case offers trademark OtterBox protection without the added bulk of the Defender Series. This ensures excellent protection while also allowing you to daily drive your iPhone 13 mini more comfortably.

It slips in and out of your pocket easily and doesn't add extra weight to your phone. The integrated port cover prevents dust and pocket lint from accumulating in the charging port, which is perfect for those always on the go or keeping their phone in their pocket.

The rest of the case has a thick and flexible inner cover and a hard outer shell that provides the ultimate defense against serious drops. OtterBox claims this case can withstand three times as many drops as military drop-tested cases, meaning you can safely use your iPhone outdoors.

Crave has been making great cases for iPhones for quite some time now, and it's no different with the iPhone 13 mini. The Crave Dual Guard is a great option if you're looking for a simple and affordable case that can still protect your iPhone from dents and bumps. It's super light and durable, and the textured exterior helps prevent slips.

The case sports a familiar shock and impact-resistant design with a TPU bumper and a polycarbonate shell. The only difference is that it's surprisingly cheaper than other similar cases. It has all the bells and whistles, such as screen and camera lens protection, wireless charging support, and a snug fit.

If you admire the color of your iPhone 13 mini, you get five colors to choose from, including blue, green, and red, to match your iPhone.

The TUCCH iPhone 13 Mini Leather Wallet Case turns your iPhone into a wallet capable of carrying three cards and some cash. It has the classic traditional wallet design, meaning it fully covers the phone for better protection against scratches and dust. And if the design isn't classy enough, the case is made of leather, so you'll never go out of style.

The case feels well-built and premium. It has a magnetic clasp to keep the front cover closed and a kickstand function for hands-free movie watching and reading. In addition, the case has a shock-absorbing TPU frame, so your iPhone will remain safe when you accidentally drop it.

Add in RFID blocking, and you get the perfect wallet case for your iPhone 13 mini.

A case is the best way to protect your iPhone 13 mini. You can combine a case with a screen protector for foolproof protection against drops, scratches, and scrapes.

The iPhone 13 mini has an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. It doesn't mean the phone is waterproof, but it can survive being underwater for 30 minutes at a depth of six meters. A quick dip in the ocean or pool won't damage your iPhone 13 mini.

The iPhone 13 mini is the smallest of the iPhone 13 series, meaning it only works with cases designed for the mini. At 6.1 inches, cases designed for the iPhone 13 will not fit the 5.4-inch iPhone 13 mini.
