Urban Armor Gear Civilian Case

• Rugged style
• Meets military drop-test standards
• Designed to move with your phone as it opens and closes
• Shock-absorbing soft core

• Only comes in one color, which may not be to all tastes

The olive green and rugged styling of this next case might not be to all tastes, but we think it looks pretty slick. Urban Armor Gear is known for its durable cases designed to protect your phone under extreme conditions, and the Civilian Case is no different.

This case boasts a hinged one-piece design with patent-pending protection for your device’s spine and is designed to move seamlessly with your phone when you flip it open or closed. Despite its durability, this armor shell case is lightweight, with a hollow hexagon structure and shock-absorbing soft core that dampens and disperses shock when your phone is bumped or dropped. That structure does such a good job that the case meets military drop-test standards MIL STD 810G 516.6.

There are raised protective bezels around the screen and camera lens, plus a traction grip to reduce the chances of your phone slipping through your fingers in the first place. This case isn’t cheap, but you get what you pay for here: excellent protection in a rugged shell.

Otterbox Symmetry Series Flex Antimicrobial

• Ultra-sleek design
• Built-in antimicrobial protection
• Hinge protection
• Made with over 40% recycled plastic
• Withstands three times as many drops as military standard

• The lighter colors might show dirt and fingerprints over time

We’re not going to lie, part of the reason this case made our list is the fun colors it comes in: the wonderfully minimalist and natural Don’t Even Chai (brown), pictured, Bluetiful (blue), I Lilac You (purple), and, rather boringly, black. But you’re also paying for the superior protection Otterbox is known for. This ultra-sleek case doesn’t add bulk to the Z Flip 4, but it still manages to withstand three times as many drops as the military standard, with raised edges around the corners and screen, built-in hinge protection, and antimicrobial protection.

It’s a planet-friendly choice too, as it’s made with over 40% recycled plastic. We wonder how the lighter colors will hold up over time when it comes to dirt and fingerprints, though.

Caseology Parallax Case

• Dual-layer TPU and PC case
• Military-grade drop protection
• Geometric 3D design
• Dual Cubic grip sides for extra grip

• No hinge protection

This dual-layer TPU and PC case from Parallax is a must if you don’t want to choose between style and protection. Available in Midnight Blue or Matte Black, the cool 3D geometric pattern not only looks slick, but it also adds grip to prevent drops.

• Includes plant-based materials
• Up to 10 feet of drop protection
• Hinged design protects Z Flip 4 hinge
• Infused with an antimicrobial agent

• Quite pricey
• Only comes in black

The final case on our list is this Gear4 Bridgetown case. It features components that contain D30 O Bio, a plant-based protective material that’s manufactured with up to 45% renewable resources.

This minimalist case provides up to 10 feet of drop protection, with a hinged design that protects the Z Flip 4 hinge. It’s infused with an antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria too.

The only downsides?

It’s not the cheapest case on our list, and it only comes in black.
