Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are technological marvels, with cutting-edge features and stunning design… some might even call them hot stuff! One of the innovations gracing the device is the Action Button — a programmable key above the volume rocker that defaults to a ringer settings control switch, but can be changed to perform other actions such as turning on the flashlight, launching the camera, and more.
If you’re lucky enough to own an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max, you’ll want to keep it safe from scratches, drops, and other mishaps. That’s where a high-quality phone case comes in. The catch is that not all cases out there take into account the Action Button, with many cases offering a recessed cut-out that makes accessing the button bothersome. In order to maximise your iPhone experience, you’ll want a case that supports the Action Button to make using your phone as easy and pleasant as possible.
Here’s a roundup of the best phone cases to help provide you with protection and style for your iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
1) Casetify Ultra Bounce Case MagSafe Compatible
For those who like to add a personal touch, Casetify offers custom cases with a plethora of designs. You can pick from a wide variety of abstract prints to anime-inspired designs, or even fashion your unique case with your favourite photos, artwork, or monograms.
Don’t be fooled, however — the Casetify Ultra Bounce Case offers layered military-grade protection. It has dedicated protection for the camera lenses, and reinforced corners that provide air-cushioned shock absorption and 360-degree defence. What’s more, the Ultra Bounce corners have the added bonus of nicely anchoring the iPhone in your palm.
2) Caudabe Sheath
The Caudabe Sheath is perfect for folks looking for a slim, minimalist case with a sturdy build. Its textured matte surface makes it easy to grip yet pleasant to hold. Meanwhile, the inside of the case is lined with premium microfiber to protect the iPhone from abrasions. Moreover, the case comes with high-grade magnets to support MagSafe accessories.
As one of the phone cases that initially had a cut-out over the Action Button, Caudabe quickly course corrected and now offers a choice between a cut-out or a button cover. But let’s be real, you want that button cover.
3) MOFT Snap Phone Case MOVAS
The MOFT Snap Phone Case MOVAS champions durability, softness, and sustainability.

The sturdy outer shell, meanwhile, is built to withstand everyday challenges, keeping the device safe from harm.
The thoughtfully designed ridges on the sides offer a secure and comfortable grip, ensuring that the iPhone won’t slip from your hand. One of the standout features of the Mous Limitless 5.0 is the various different finishes you can get for the backplate. Whether you prefer the classic look of black leather, the natural beauty of walnut or bamboo, or the modern appeal of aramid fibre, there are a number of options to match your style.
5) NOMAD Modern Leather Case
If you’re after a case that exudes sophistication, the NOMAD Modern Leather Case is worth considering. Crafted from sustainably-sourced leather, it ages beautifully over time.

In addition, it boasts anodised aluminium buttons to provide a satisfying, tactile feel.
The case also comes in a folio variant — the NOMAD Modern Leather Folio Case — to give the screen some added protection while offering the benefit of being able to stash cash and up to three cards in the case.
6) Otterbox OtterGrip Symmetry Series for MagSafe
The Otterbox OtterGrip Symmetry Series is a sleek and rigid case that’s built to withstand drops (of up to 3 times as many as the military standard) and shocks. It offers excellent grip along with tactile, responsive buttons.
Notably, this case features a built-in grip that presses flat when not in use, enabling compatibility with MagSafe accessories. The integrated grip provides a nice handle on the phone that one might otherwise resort to a PopSocket for.
7) Smartish Gripmunk with MagSafe
The Smartish Gripmunk, while not the flashiest, is a fantastic slim, protective, and budget-friendly iPhone case. Its design is simple, with a smooth back and a textured outer edge that ensures a secure grip. Notably, the case expertly maintains the satisfying clickiness of the iPhone’s buttons.
