The 5 Toughest iPhone 6 cases (and 6S!)

Need a bit more protection for your iPhone? Here’s our 5 Toughest iPhone 6 cases

Do you need something that’s a little tougher for your iPhone and a slim iPhone case won’t cut it? Well, here’s 5 of the highest rated iPhone cases that we’ve reviewed. For this list, we’ve only considered cases that cover the iPhone entirely (front/back) and none of them are waterproof (which subsequently means that dust protection will be minimal). If you’re looking for the full selection of tough iPhone cases that we’ve reviewed, check out our comparison tool! Cases that didn’t make the cut for this video include the Otterbox Defender, Tech 21 Patriot and Pelican ProGear Voyager.

Also, there are some slim cases that are just as tough (and tougher) than the ones listed below. Cases like the Thule Atmos X4, Speck MightyShell with Faceplate and Rhinoshield CrashGuard offer just as much drop protection as most tough cases.

Ballistic Hardcore (3.9/5.0)

Pros: well-designed case, tough, great belt holster, great screen viewability/usability

Cons: dust protection is lacking, finicky to install, very large

Amzer Crusta (3.8/5.0)

Pros: tough case made from tempered glass, keeps the iPhone thing, great screen viewability/usability

Cons: finicky to install, TPU bumper shows wear and tear overtime, customer service isn’t great (from user comments), made from glass so will show wear and tear quicker if you’re really rough with it
