Apple hasn't shipped its iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro units yet, but consumers who preordered one (or more) can order stylish and functional cases now. These cases come from various makers and offer varying levels of protection and beauty upgrade to the already stunning handsets.

Here are some of the best iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro cases that can be bought now. Buyers should note that since the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro have exactly the same display, chassis and camera module sizes, they won't have to worry about getting the right fit.

Apple iPhone 12 Silicone case with MagSafe

Apple is selling a silicone case for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. The case features magnets that are strategically placed so that users will be able to charge their iPhones using a MagSafe charger in the event that it runs low on battery life.

The case is slim but appears to offer enough protection for the new device. It has openings for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro's charging port, microphones and speakers and has raised parts for the volume rocker and side buttons. It comes in a slew of colors and can be purchased for $49 via Apple.

Nillkin Camshield

This case doesn't just add an extra layer of protection to the iPhone. It also adds an extra layer of protection to the iPhone's rear camera module. The Camshield Pro case has a sliding camera cover that can be used to protect the device's dual or triple-camera setups. This will be very appealing to mobile photographers.

The Nillkin Camshield Pro doesn't have magnets for MagSafe but is compatible with wireless chargers. It is available for $15.99 via Amazon.

Survivor Extreme

This case is perfect for those looking for the best protection against drops, bumps, scuffs and scratches. The Survivor Extreme case for iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro features four layers of construction and is built to withstand 16-feet drops. It is tested to military standards and is “guaranteed for life.”

The Survivor Extreme case is compatible with wireless chargers and 5G and claims to have antimicrobial protection that eliminates 99.9% of surface bacteria and germs. It is available for $49.99 via Survivor.
