Smartphones are useful tools for everyday life, but they're privy to nearly everything about you, including all the places you've been — if you let them.
Keep breaking your phone? Try these durable phone cases
1. OtterBox Defender Series
OtterBox has developed a reputation for making extra-durable phone cases, but the Defender series is the toughest of the bunch. The no-slip rubber outer cover prevents drops, but if you drop your phone anyway a tough polycarbonate layer protects it from the fall. Bumpers around the camera also protect the lens. The Defender series has cases for Samsung, Apple, and Google phones.
Durable phone cases tend to have a rugged look, but Casetify's Ultra Impact series is an exception to the rule. The case protects phones from up to 9.8 foot drops, and comes in pretty colors and patterns.
The Unicorn Beetle Pro phone case from Supcase is as durable as it looks, made from shock-absorbing TPU and polycarbonate. The built-in camera cover doubles as a kickstand. It's also one of the more affordable protective phone cases.
Frequent travelers and outdoor enthusiasts will love the impact-resistant UAG Pathfinder phone case. The case protects against 18-foot drops with TPU corner protection and a light but durable shell. The series fits iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones, and Google Pixel phones.
