iphone 8 case

STEE

Lost me phone and someone is going to give me an iphone 8 to replace it. I want to buy a case to protect the phone in case I drop it. Don't want to crack the screen. I seen videos of a guy on youtube throwing an iphone 14 about 10ftup in the air and the phone was grand. The case was called mouse I think. Whats best case for an iphone 8 ???

I find a combination of that case you linked to - and a Tempered Glass screenprotector - €1.50 in deals - worked very well for me.

The Tempered Glass (not plastic) screen protectors are great - and cheap because IPhone 8 is not current anymore, they may have a case that suits also

The Otter case the other mention here was a much more bulky case - it really protects the iphone - but it makes it much thicker and the raised edges hard to click on edges of screen.

I dont like them. It comes with a glass front. Link here -> https://www.amazon.co.uk/OtterBox-Defender-iPhone-Black/dp/B00Z7RUK6K

The (fake) Leather flip open you mention is ok too - I had that for my IPhone 6.

Looked a bit like this IPhone 8 case.. https://www.amazon.co.uk/SHIELDON-Genuine-Kickstand-Magnetic-Compatible/dp/B08C9X9QNH

The clear case you linked I used for my IPhone 8 - and it survived ok - but you can get much cheaper than 20 euros

eg. here is same for under 4 euros. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASD-Accessories-Shockproof-Silicone-Protection/dp/B081K6S1QM

I noticed my local Tesco was selling Otter box cases for iPhone 8.

Get one of the glass screen protectors. Unless you drive a nail into it, it's very unlikely to cracked etc beyond the protector.

I don't like a thick phone or case myself. Don't use one. But you don't have to hit the screen to crack the glass. Sometimes just a big drop on the corner is enough even with a case.
