Pre-orders for this affordable iPhone will be released on March 11, with shipments expected to begin on March 18. Whether you're planning to buy a new iPhone SE for yourself or gift one to a loved one, it's important to use a protective case to protect the device from accidental drops and damage. With that in mind, we've compiled a list of the best iPhone SE 3 (2022) cases and covers you can buy. Our list includes everything from classic clear cases and leather/wallet cases to rugged and cute iPhone SE cases.

As always, Apple has also released official accessories for the new iPhone SE 2022. If you are looking for a silicone case with a soft-touch finish, you should consider buying Apple silicone cases. Available in black and pink sand, the case looks and feels premium without making the phone bulky. However, the only downside to this case is that it doesn't protect the lower part of the phone. If that doesn't bother you, don't hesitate to check out Apple's official silicone cases.

If a leather case for iPhone SE is what you're looking for, consider Apple's official leather case. Apple says its cases are made from specially tanned and finished European leather and develop a natural patina over time. The Apple leather case is available in three color variants and is ideal for those who admire the beauty of a leather case.
