With the release of the three latest iPhone 11 models, we rounded up the best cases you can get for the new buzzed-about phone. This iPhone update might be the best yet for travelers, as the new and improved camera systems are great for mobile photo and video shooting while on vacation.

So, if you’re investing in the latest phone craze, make sure you protect it with a travel-friendly case.

No matter which case you choose, pair it with the ultra-strong Amplify Glass Edge-2-Edge Screen Protector which covers every inch of your phone’s fragile screen.
