Which phone case should I choose?
The right etchd case comes down to three questions: how much protection you want, whether you use MagSafe magnets, and which phone you carry. etchd makes four case lines, and this guide matches each one to the person it suits best.
What phone case types does etchd make?
etchd makes four case lines, all printed with the same artwork so any of them can anchor a matching set.
| Case line | Build | MagSafe magnet | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tough | Hard polycarbonate shell, shock-absorbing TPU liner | No | Maximum protection, widest phone range |
| Clear | Slim transparent build | No | Showing off your phone finish with a light layer |
| Clear Magnetic | Slim clear build, built-in magnet ring | Yes | MagSafe on iPhone with a see-through look |
| Tough Magnetic | Polycarbonate shell, TPU liner, magnet ring | Yes | MagSafe plus full drop protection |
What is the Tough case best for?
The Tough case is best for everyday durability and the widest device coverage. It pairs a hard polycarbonate shell with a shock-absorbing TPU liner, and comes in a glossy or matte finish. It also fits the broadest range of phones, including iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel, so it is the safe pick if you want protection first.
What is the Clear case best for?
The Clear case is best when you want to keep your phone slim and let its colour show through. It is the lightest layer in the range and covers iPhone models going back several generations plus recent Samsung Galaxy, and you can add gift packaging at checkout. Choose Clear if a slim look matters more to you than heavy-duty drop protection.
What are the Magnetic cases best for?
The Clear Magnetic and Tough Magnetic cases are best if you use MagSafe. Both have a built-in magnet ring, so they snap to MagSafe chargers, wallets, grips and mounts, and align every time. Pick Clear Magnetic for a slim see-through look, or Tough Magnetic when you want the magnets and the full protective shell.
Do I need a MagSafe case for wireless charging?
No. Standard wireless charging works through etchd slim cases without a magnet. What the magnet ring adds is alignment and a secure snap, so a MagSafe charger or a magnetic grip locks into the right spot instead of needing to be lined up by hand. If you only ever charge on a flat pad or with a cable, a non-magnetic case is fine.
Which case will fit my phone?
Coverage differs by line, so this is worth a quick check. The Tough case fits the widest range across iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel. The Clear case covers a long run of iPhone models plus recent Samsung Galaxy. The Magnetic lines are iPhone only, because MagSafe is an Apple system. Select your exact model from the dropdown on any product page, and see our fit guide if you are unsure.
The quick pick
If you want one sentence: choose Tough for protection and the widest fit, Clear for a slim see-through look, and a Magnetic line if you use MagSafe on an iPhone. Whichever you pick, the same design is available across grips, stands, sleeves, straps and power banks, so your case can be the start of a matching set.
