Less on the phone
Minimalist is the style of keeping things plain. A thin case that keeps the phone's own shape, a grip that folds flat, a charger small enough to forget about, a bag with one strap and no logo. It suits people who chose a phone for its design and do not want to hide it, and people who simply like fewer, smaller things in their pocket.
How a product gets onto this page
Products are filed on this page by the words they use about themselves: a product whose own name or description says minimalist, simple, plain, slim or ultra thin is here. A product can be on more than one style page, and it stays in its own department too.
What you will find in the minimalist style
- Thin cases: ultra-thin hard cases with a matte or frosted finish, frameless magnetic cases, and soft clear silicone cases for iPhone and Galaxy. See hard and slim cases and clear cases.
- A back skin: a full-wrap faux leather skin that adds a texture without adding bulk. See back films and skins.
- Slim grips and holders: an ultra-thin metal ring holder with a folding stand and a magnetic grip and kickstand for MagSafe-compatible phones. See ring holders.
- Small chargers and power: mini magnetic wireless chargers and a power bank with its own USB-C cables built in, so there is nothing else to carry. See power banks with built-in cables.
- Others: an RFID-blocking magnetic card wallet, a credit-card-sized SIM tool kit, a magnetic phone cooler and a plain crossbody bag.
What a thin case gives up
A thin case protects against scratches and scuffs, and adds a little grip, but there is not much of it to soak up a drop. A slim hard case keeps the shape of the phone exactly; a thin soft case grips better and gives a little more at the corners. If you drop your phone often, a thin case with a screen protector is a sensible pair: see tempered glass screen protectors. The guide to choosing a phone case sets out what each kind protects against.
Questions people ask about minimalist accessories
Will a magnetic charger work through a thin case?
A thin case without magnets lets a wireless charger work, but a magnetic charger needs magnets to hold on to. Choose a case sold as MagSafe-compatible. The guide to wireless and magnetic charging explains.
Does a clear case count as minimalist?
The plain clear cases here do, because they say so about themselves. Clear cases with glitter or plating are on other style pages.
