00:00If you love how your iPhone looks but hate hiding it under a chunky case, this one's for you.
00:05I went digging through hundreds of ultra-thin matte cases, checked the reviews, the ratings,
00:09the real buyer photos, and I narrowed it down to the 5 best deals I could find.
00:14Every single one of these is under 5 bucks. Let's get into it.
00:19Kicking things off at number 5, we've got this luxury slim ultra-thin matte clear case,
00:24and honestly the standout here is the finish. It's a hard PC shell with a soft,
00:29skin-friendly matte texture that just feels premium in the hand, no fingerprints,
00:33no greasy smudges, nothing. It covers the newer stuff too, including iPhone Air,
00:3917, and 17 Pro Max. It's sitting at $3.92 with a 4.9 rating from over 4,000 buyers,
00:47and that rating is the whole reason it made this list. When 4,000 people agree a $4 case feels
00:53expensive, that's worth paying attention to. At number 4, the ultra-thin 0.3mm,
00:59clear matte case. .3mm, that's about the thickness of 3 sheets of paper. You genuinely forget it's on
01:07there, but you still get raised edges around the camera and the screen, which is the part that
01:12actually matters. What I like most is the compatibility list, X, XR, XS, 11, 12, 13 Mini,
01:1914, 15 Pro Max, even the 7, 8 Plus and C2020. If you're rocking an older phone, this is your
01:26pick.
01:28396, 4.8 stars, over 4,000 sold. Number 3 is the ultra-thin PP matte case,
01:34and this is the budget king at just $3.28. It's built specifically for the iPhone 17,
01:4117 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air, so the cutouts are tight and precise.
01:47The PP material has a little bit of flex to it, which means it absorbs a drop instead of just
01:51cracking, but it still stays paper-thin. For $3 and change, this is the case you buy two or three
01:58of
01:58in different colors and just swap them out whenever you feel like it. Genuinely hard to argue with that
02:03price. Coming in at number 2, the 0.2mm slim cover, and this is the thinnest one on the entire
02:10list.
02:112 tenths of a millimeter. It's basically a skin. It adds almost zero bulk, zero weight,
02:19and it slides in and out of your pocket like the phone's naked. It's got a 4.9 rating,
02:24which is the highest here, and it covers basically every iPhone ever made 11 through 17, Air,
02:29Plus, Pro Max, Mini, X, XR, XS Max. 388. If your whole goal is to protect the finish without
02:38changing how the phone feels, this is the one. And my number 1 pick is the ultra-thin
02:43translucent matte case with MagSafe. This is the one I'd actually buy, because it's the only case
02:49here with built-in magnets so your MagSafe charger, your car mount, your wallet, they all just snap right
02:54on. No dropped connection, no wireless charging weirdness. It's a hard PC frosted shell that shows
03:01off your phone's color through a soft haze, and it fits everything from the 11 all the way to the
03:0616 Pro Max. At $4.34 with nearly 5,000 sold, getting real MagSafe support for 4 bucks is kind
03:13of ridiculous. All 5 links are down in the description, sorted top to bottom, so go grab
03:19whichever one fits your phone.
