What’s the best-selling phone in the UK? Is it the cheap Moto G? The critically acclaimed iPhone 6S? The latest Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S7 Edge? Nope, it’s none of these — it’s Apple’s diminutive iPhone SE.
The phone made up 9.2% of smartphone sales last quarter, just ahead of the iPhone 6S at 9.1%. iOS as a whole gained 3.1 percentage points to hit 37.2% of the market, while Android gained 4.1 points to hit a new high, 57.3%. These gains came from the continuing death of Windows Phone, which accounted for just 4.9% of sales in Q2 this year, half that of the year before.
To celebrate the newly crowned ‘most popular phone in the UK’, let’s take a look at five of the best cases available for the iPhone SE!
5. Speck CandyShell Grip
This case has a bold two-tone look that sets it apart from the crowd, but its beauty is more than skin-deep. The CandyShell is also a highly protective case, with two reinforced layers that help ensure the iPhone inside survives drops, knocks and scratches. The sleek hard shell is augmented with raised rubber grips, preventing drops and keeping your phone safely in hand. Solid.
4. Moncabas Classic Genuine Leather Wallet
There’s nothing quite like the classic look of genuine leather. This leather wallet from Moncabas is a fine example, combining good protection with a practical design. You get three inner card slots, plus a larger pocket for tickets, cash and other important pieces of paper. And of course, you get the lovely feel and smell of premium leather, perfectly hand-stitched.
3. Ghostek Cloak Aluminium Tough Case
The Ghostek Cloak provides comprehensive protection, while still giving you a chance to show off the colour you’ve chosen for your iPhone SE. The case has a clear back and a metallic frame, with accents in one of five colours. This clear case even comes with a screen protector, ensuring your phone is fully covered from scratches, drops and knocks.
Red, Gold, Pink, Silver, Space Grey
2. Otterbox Defender Series
The Defender Series from Otterbox is legendary, thanks to the amazing protection it provides. That’s down to its unique three layer design, including a built-in tempered screen protector, a rugged rubbed slipcover and an inner polycarbonate shell. These layers join forces to resist all manner of drops, falls, scratches and knocks, keeping your iPhone SE in tip-top shape. The ultimate tough case!
1. X-Doria Bump Gear Plus Aluminium Bumper Case
We conclude with this gorgeous aluminium bumper case for the iPhone SE. The X-Doria Bump Gear Plus covers the edges and corners of your iPhone, while leaving the front and back easily accessible and visible. That makes for a super slim and lightweight phone, and ensures easy access to buttons, ports and features too. A strong, light & stylish case.
