Pre-ordered the iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max? Or plan on buying one directly from an Apple Store or a nearby retailer on launch day? Whatever the case might be, phones like the iPhone XS and XS Max need a case to go along with it due to their glass design.
Since the iPhone XS has the same design as the iPhone X, you will already find plenty of cases for it, especially since iPhone X cases are compatible with the iPhone XS. And given that iPhones sell like hot cakes, you will find plenty of cases in various shapes and size for the XS and XS Max. If you are in the market for some iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max cases, check out our list of the best iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max cases below.
Spigen iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max Cases
Spigen makes among the best cases for any smartphone out there. Period. The same stands true for its iPhone XS and XS Max lineup. The company offers a variety of XS and XS Max cases — slim, minimalistic, tough, hybrid, wallet, and more. Depending on your requirement, Spigen will have an appropriate case for your new iPhone.
Below are some of my personal recommendations from Spigen’s lineup.
Thin Fit 360
This slim fit case is made from polycarbonate back and offers enough protection against scratches and scuffs. While its also adequate protection against minor dings and drops, it might not provide sufficient protection to the display against major falls.

RhinoShield iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max Cases
If you are a person who prefers bumpers to cases, you should have a look at RhinoShield’s CrashGuard NX lineup. The bumper will fit snuggly and provide ample side protection to your iPhone XS or XS Max. It leaves the rear of the phone completely exposed, though since the bumper is thicker than the phone’s body, it will protect the rear glass panel in case of a drop. One can also customize the bumper according to their liking by selecting a different rim color to make it stand out.

Dbrand iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max Skins
I am not really a case person since they tend to add bulk to a phone and hide its beautiful design. But that does not change the fact that the rear glass panel of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max needs protection. This is where vinyl skins from Dbrand come in. You can slap their high-quality 3M skin on the back of your iPhone XS and XS Max and call it a day.
While barebones, it will offer adequate protection to ensure the glass panel does not crack or shatter due to any regular drop or ding. The skins are also available in a variety of finishes which will help in making your iPhone XS stand out from the crowd.
