Cases

A 2.2 mm magnetic leather back that works in concept but feels plasticky and scratches easily.

He loves his Torras case with stand on the iPhone; the Oppo alternative was terrible.

A six-pound bolted-on phone case meant to stop doom scrolling; KSI rated it four for how hard it is to live with.

The $1,600 titanium case held up far better than the standard aluminium one in the drop test, so it is functionally better as well as rare.

A bonkers voice-triggered flipping case that nobody will buy, but a brilliant marketing stunt.

Distinctive looking, but uncomfortable to hold and it fared worse than a $10 case in drop tests.

A well-made, impressive bespoke controller case for the rear screen that he would never actually use.

The clear case scratched badly and looked horrendous early in the test.

The older FineWoven case did very poorly in the test, with the knife going through it like paper.

The TechWoven case hid marks well and took the least damage of the cases tested, though a knife still cuts through it easily.

The silicone case was more durable than the clear case, but still picked up damage under the knife.

Confusing design with a white back that isn't clear and doesn't match the phone colours; rated 4 out of 10.

A comfy case he rates 7 out of 10 and would pick if buying Apple-branded.

Looks decent but bent permanently out of shape when he took it off, so he gives it a three.

The toughest case Apple has made, but it overcorrected from FineWoven and feels like an itchy sweater.

Premium-feeling and protective while preserving the feel of the Air, but very expensive for the material.

The $150 military-used case protected the screen better in the first test, but the phone still showed a big mark and a ballooning screen af…

Very thin and nice to hold, but scratches easily and is hard to justify at $60; 5/10.

A bulky, heavy BlackBerry-style keyboard case with a few good touches, but too many compromises for him; he gave it 4/10.

The adhesive wasn't strong enough and the touchscreen failed to work under the water.

Made from Finnish army uniform fabric so the phone can stick to almost anything, and he does not argue with the idea.

Adds a torch said to be 12 times brighter than the phone's, which he finds almost too much light for selfies.

Tough phone cage with quick eject, MagSafe magnets and a threaded plate for lenses.

He loves the phone case with a custom window that holds a Pokémon card securely.
