Ultra-slim protection
The Torras Slim Fit MagSafe case is ultra-thin, but protective, with its four-layer structure. It features nano coating to provide that velvety feel we all know and love, making your phone grippy and easy to hold on to. The matte finish comes in five different colors and is fingerprint resistant. This case supports wireless charging and is 100% MagSafe approved.
Tough like a rhino
This RhinoShield Case comes in a large assortment of colors, including this cool Black Oak option (pictured). This sturdy case features impact resistant technology, protecting your glass-backed iPhone 13 mini from drops and cracks. It’s made of a ShockSpread polymer material that absorbs impact, so your phone doesn’t have to. The case’s inner honeycomb structure provides additional defense against hard knocks. It’s compatible with MagSafe charging.
iPhone armor
Spigen Mag Armor earned its title because it’s MagSafe compatible and functions like armor for your iPhone 13 mini. This case features integrated, magnetic, shock absorption. It has a raised lip to protect your camera and the face of your phone. The button covers are touch-sensitive and functional, and there’s even air cushion technology on the corners of the case for extra-shock absorption.
Apple-designed
We love Apple's cases. They always fit perfectly, work as expected, and look amazing, not to mention that coveted Apple logo on the back. Choose from an array of colors designed to perfectly match or set off the color of your iPhone 13 mini.
Clear choice
You can clearly see the ring of magical magnets on this nicely-priced slim protective case. Choose the totally clear option shown here, or pick one with a hint of color around the edges.
Extra protection
This svelte clear case from Speck has reinforced corners and raised bezels to protect your iPhone 13 mini, but it also has Microban antimicrobial properties to protect you. It's tested to withstand up to 8-foot drops.
Grippy
Protective air-pocket corners and a soft microfiber lining help keep your iPhone 13 mini safe from damage. Textured, extra-grippy edges will help keep you from dropping it. Choose from several color and design options.
Super protection
This rugged case is drop-tested for up to two meters (6.6 feet). Plus, you can feel good about your purchase because it's made from 45% recycled materials. Choose from several color options.
Sparkly
Add a little bling to your iPhone 13 mini with this pretty case. It's got 10-foot drop protection, and it's made from recycled materials. Don't worry; the iridescent glitter foil is completely inside the case, so you won't feel any texture, and it won't lose its sparkle.
Camera lens protection
Are you concerned about scratching your camera lens? Worry no more; this case has a sliding cover to protect your camera when not in use. Just slide open the cover when you want to take a photo. I like the general look and feel of the Nillkin CamShield Pro case, which I've reviewed in the past. In my review, I noted that's it's well-priced and slim yet protective.
Wallet bundle
Get a slim, clear MagSafe case plus a MagSafe wallet in a few color options for one low price. Just pop the wallet off when it's time to use your MagSafe charger and then pop it back on when you head out. It'll hold up to three cards.
Colorful silicone
While it lacks the nifty Apple logo, it's nearly a dupe for the Apple Silicone Case. The silicone case is smooth to the touch yet offers a decent grip. The inside is lined with microfiber to prevent scratches. Choose from several color options.
Do you need a MagSafe case for your iPhone 13 mini?
Do you really need a MagSafe case, per se? In order to fully utilize the MagSafe charging feature, such as with an Apple MagSafe charger, and other great MagSafe accessories — yes, you need to pick up a MagSafe specific case.
It's true that MagSafe chargers will work with any of the best iPhone 13 mini cases, just as any wireless charger does. But unless the case is made explicitly for MagSafe, you won't get that magnetic attachment. So, that means you won't be able to use it with MagSafe charging stands, MagSafe wallets, or other accessories.
Which of the best MagSafe cases for iPhone 13 mini is for you?
We love the Torras Slim Fit case. It's ultra-thin, but super protective. Its nano coating provides a grippy, luxurious, velvety feel that's pleasing to the touch, and the matte finish gives it an ultra sophisticated aesthetic.
If you're looking for something ultra-tough, check out the RhinoShield and Spigen Mag Armor cases. They've got the shock absorption and protection you need to safeguard your iPhone 13 mini against big drops.

It looks a lot like Apple's Clear Case with MagSafe, but it's less than half the price and even comes in a few color options.
