Iphone 12 mini case with wrist strap

The revolutionary concept of the iPhone 12 mini is that it "fits in the palm of your hand." Perhaps that's because phones have been getting almost comically large over the past few years, with some manufacturers embracing foldable phones to cram more screen real estate into your hand.

The iPhone 12 mini, however, is for the minimalists who want a phone they can hold without attaching a PopSocket. It's 5.2 by 2.5 by 0.3 inches and just 4.8 ounces. But even if its size makes it easier to hold onto, you're still going to want to put a case on it.

We've put together some selections that should cover what you're looking for, whether you want a case you can compost or one that can stand up to lots of drops.

(Did you swing for an iPhone 12 or 12 Pro? We have you covered there, too.)

About Chandra Steele

Senior Features Writer

My title is Senior Features Writer, which is a license to write about absolutely anything if I can connect it to technology (I can). I’ve been at PCMag since 2011 and have covered the surveillance state, vaccination cards, ghost guns, voting, ISIS, art, fashion, film, design, gender bias, and more. You might have seen me on TV talking about these topics or heard me on your commute home on the radio or a podcast. Or maybe you’ve just seen my Bernie meme. 

I strive to explain topics that you might come across in the news but not fully understand, such as NFTs and meme stocks. I’ve had the pleasure of talking tech with Jeff Goldblum, Ang Lee, and other celebrities who have brought a different perspective to it. I put great care into writing gift guides and am always touched by the notes I get from people who’ve used them to choose presents that have been well-received. Though I love that I get to write about the tech industry every day, it’s touched by gender, racial, and socioeconomic inequality and I try to bring these topics to light.
