Apple threw a curveball into Prime Day this year by unveiling its four new iPhone 12 models just as Amazon's two-day sale was getting underway. That's meant limited deals on the iPhone 12 itself, as pre-orders don't begin until Friday. But case makers are rolling out a few Prime Day deals on accessories designed with the iPhone 12 in mind.
Don't expect huge savings from these Prime Day iPhone 12 case deals — in most instances, you're saving a buck or two. Also, with a few exceptions, these aren't deals involving some of the most well-known case makers, who will likely announce deals of their own once the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro go on sale later this month. Instead, these are case makers looking to a jump on the competition with savings on their own iPhone 12 cases.

When shopping for an iPhone case, make sure you're buying one designed specifically for the iPhone model you plan to purchase. In the case of the iPhone 12, you've got four models to choose from — the iPhone 12 mini, the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Most of the cases on sale initially are going to made out of plastic, rather than more elaborate materials. Still, you can find a few extra features like slots to hold cash and credit cards or kickstands for propping up your phone. As you shop, see if the retailer offers any information about drop testing — some cases are rated to withstand drops from a certain height, which can come in handy if your main goal is to make sure your iPhone 12 stays protected.
We're expecting more exciting iPhone 12 options to emerge even after Prime Day ends and iPhone 12 sales heat up. Be sure to check out our guide to iPhone 12 pre-order deals as well as last-minute Prime Day iPhone 11 deals if you want to save on older models.
