Our picks (based on published tests)
Best budget pick (tested)
JETech Vegan Leather Case with Hinge Protection
case-tester.com's 'Best value' pick: hinge-side protection, strong MagSafe, and screen-protector friendly.
- Back shell only: no front frame and no adhesive strips, so it comes off whenever you like. (case-tester.com)
- Hinge is covered at the side; the shell folds back against the phone by itself. (case-tester.com)
- MagSafe held 1.84 kg on case-tester.com's pull gauge, the strongest of the US-available cases tested. (case-tester.com)
- Because nothing sits on the front, a screen protector works without trouble. (case-tester.com)
- Downsides: protects the back only, no inner lining, frame stays exposed. (case-tester.com)
- Amazon listing states: back cover with hinge protection only; front cover and screen protector NOT included. (Amazon product listing)
Attachment: No adhesive: back shell only, comes off whenever you like (case-tester.com)

Best cheap pick from WSJ
Spigen Nano Pop MagFit
WSJ's second recommendation overall. It skips the hinge cover, so nothing overlaps the screen, but it also leaves the volume buttons uncovered.
- WSJ's 'next-best option' if you don't want clear or don't want to pay for the ZAGG. (WSJ Buy Side)
- Two separate pieces; doesn't cover the volume buttons; corner air pockets. (WSJ Buy Side)
- Uses adhesive, but Spigen includes a sheet of spare strips. (WSJ Buy Side)
- Blueberry Navy ASIN shown; 9to5Mac links a Black Sesame version (ASIN B0GV54CFL3, not checked by us). (Amazon product listing)
Attachment: Adhesive, with a sheet of spare strips (WSJ)

Best under $50 with a hinge cover
Spigen Ultra Hybrid Pro MagFit
Popular Mechanics' 'Best Value'. It does cover the hinge, and Spigen tells owners to enable 'Shift Left Edge', so expect some overlap at the edge.
- Popular Mechanics' 'Best Value': slim, impact-absorbing corners, and a hinge cover, unlike many pricier cases. (Popular Mechanics)
- Spigen's listing tells owners to turn on Settings > Display & Brightness > Shift Left Edge when using the case, which suggests the front frame overlaps the display edge. (Amazon product listing)
- Frost Black ASIN shown; 9to5Mac also links a Clear version (ASIN B0GV54ZDW5, not checked by us). (Amazon product listing)
