Choosing a phone case is mostly a question of what you want it to do. This guide sorts the main types and points to examples from the iPhone cases range at LEXE by Devici Studios.

First check: does it fit your model?

iPhone cases are cut for specific models. Before you order, read the compatibility list on the product page and match it with your phone, for example iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 17. A case for one model will not reliably fit another, even when the sizes look close.

Clear cases

A clear case keeps the phone's own colour visible. Some pages list a shockproof build or a soft TPU material.

Wallet cases

If you carry cards and a phone together, a wallet case saves a pocket. The LEXE Folio Wallet Case is a flip wallet in faux leather for iPhone 15. The LEXE Accord Wallet Case has an accordion card holder for iPhone 15 and 14. For a hands-free option, there is the LEXE Carryall Crossbody Case, a crossbody wallet case with a lanyard.

Magnetic cases

Magnetic cases attach to compatible magnetic chargers and accessories. The LEXE Luster iPhone Case is a magnetic electroplated case for iPhone 17, and the LEXE Orbit iPhone Case adds a lens stand for iPhone 17.

Statement cases

If the case is part of your outfit, look at prints and textures. The LEXE Leopard iPhone Case has a brown leopard print, and the LEXE Matte iPhone Case is a faux leather case with a lens guard.

A quick way to decide

  1. Confirm your exact iPhone model.
  2. Choose a type: clear, wallet, magnetic or statement.
  3. Check the material on the product page. Faux leather is labelled as faux leather.
  4. Compare the listed features, such as lens guard, stand or card slots.

Frequently asked questions

Will a case for iPhone 15 fit iPhone 15 Pro?

Not reliably. The models differ in size and camera layout. Choose a case that lists your exact model.

Are clear cases going to yellow?

Some clear materials can discolour with heat and sun over time. Read the material on the product page and keep the case out of long direct sun.

Do magnetic cases work with chargers?

They are designed to attach to compatible magnetic accessories. Check the listing for what each case supports.
