12 Super Durable iPhone 6S Cases
Apple sold a record-breaking 13 million iPhone 6S and 6S Plus phones in a single weekend when they became available in a dozen countries, including the U.S. and China, on Sept. 25. The newest smartphones will be available in 40 more countries on Friday — including Greece, Belgium, and Mexico — and many Middle Eastern countries on Saturday. It's always really exciting to get the newest, most high-tech smartphone; spending time learning its new features, customizing it to your preferences, and showing it off to your friends. And it's tragic when your new iPhone breaks not long after you leave the Apple store. But don't worry, there are lots of super durable iPhone 6S and 6S Plus cases that will keep your phone safe even in extreme circumstances.
As anyone who's ever smashed an iPhone knows, having a case on it is essential. Apple's newest design includes 7000 series aluminum, making the 6S and 6S Plus the strongest iPhones yet, but they still aren't indestructible, unfortunately. So you need to protect your phone with a sturdy case designed to withstand extreme drops, bumps, and tosses. Because let's face it, we put our phones through a lot.
Here are 12 super durable iPhone 6S and 6S Plus cases that you'll have to try pretty hard to break:
