The best iPhone 14 Pro cases are here to stop your phone's drop onto the sidewalk being fatal, as well as to improve the phone's usability in ways that Apple would never add itself.

The iPhone 14 Pro's Ceramic Shield glass and stainless steel construction does provide some security against damage. But they don't make the phone impervious to damage, and if it breaks you'll be paying out quite a bit for repairs. Damaging or even breaking a case is unfortunate, but it's nowhere near as expensive or drastic if it happens. And like we said, you can add things like a stand or pop socket to your iPhone via the case for additional versatility.

Take a look at our top iPhone 14 Pro cases picks below.

What to look for in the best iPhone 14 Pro cases

Why you can trust Tom's Guide? Our writers and editors spend hours analyzing and reviewing products, services, and apps to help find what's best for you. Find out more about how we test, analyze, and rate.

First things first — make sure you’re looking for a case that will fit your iPhone 14 Pro. That means shopping specifically for an iPhone 14 Pro case as the camera cutouts on the best iPhone 14 cases will be different, even though both phones feature a 6.1-inch screen. There are enough subtle differences with the iPhone 13 Pro that even cases for that older phone may not be a perfect fit.

Looking for cases that fit the other Pro model? We've got the best iPhone 14 Pro Max cases available, too.

After that, consider whether you plan on using MagSafe accessories or wirelessly charging your iPhone 14. Not every case supports those features, so confirm such support is there before you buy.

Since the reason to get an iPhone 14 Pro case primarily comes down to protection from falls, check the drop protection listing to make sure the case you’re considering is suitably secure. Four feet of drop protection is a good standard to shoot for, though some of the best iPhone 14 Pro cases exceed that.

What is an iPhone 14 Pro case with MagSafe?

MagSafe is Apple's proprietary magnetic alignment system that uses a ring of magnets to snap a charger, wallet or other accessory into the correct spot on the back of the iPhone. A case with MagSafe means it also contains these aligning magnets to help your stuff line up correctly every time.

You don't necessarily need magnets in your iPhone case because the magnets inside your iPhone are likely still powerful enough to attract an accessory through an extra layer of plastic, leather or whatever else your case is made of. But if you're going to buy a particularly chunky case, or just want it to work guaranteed with a MagSafe peripheral you already own, a MagSafe-certified case could be worthwhile.

Are iPhone 14 Pro cases different from iPhone 14 cases?

Not by much, but yes. Although both phones are listed as 6.1-inch handsets, the two iPhones differ slightly in overall size, and the Pro uses a much larger camera block to fit in its extra sensor. You won't be able to squeeze an iPhone 14 Pro into an iPhone 14 case no matter how hard you try.

How we pick the best iPhone 14 Pro cases

We draw up our initial list of best iPhone 14 Pro cases by listening to word-of-mouth and going through user reviews when possible. We tend to favor case makers with a solid reputation for their past iPhone cases. And since different cases appeal to different people, we make sure to include a variety of styles at a wide range of prices. After the iPhone’s initial release, we may call in some cases for additional testing.
