Buying a new iPhone means being being constantly vigilant about not dropping the thing. As nice as the naked phones feel in-hand, no amount of tactile pleasure can overcome the terrible feeling of cracking the screen or worse. Now, with the iPhone X commanding a bank-busting $1,000 per unit, the stakes are even higher.

Your iPhone deserves proper protection. These new rugged iPhone cases from Zizo check all the boxes we look for in a good case. They sit wonderfully in the hand; they’re built to withstand big drops; they look awesome; and they’re super-affordable. If you’re an iPhone owner with an active lifestyle, check these out.

Level up your iPhone armor

Zizo cases look like the kind of sleek armor you might earn after leveling up in a video game. With bold colors, shapes and an added layer of screen protection, they’re designed to military specifications when it comes to toughness.

Zizo Bolt iPhone case

The Bolt case, for example, is 810-G compliant — the military standard when it comes to gear that’s made last. It can protect your iPhone from a drop of up to 12 feet. (It’s also got a belt clip to help prevent that from happening.) Meanwhile, it brings a look and feel to your phone that’s fit for a space marine.

Zizo Static iPhone case

The Static case is similarly engineered to protect your phone without adding bulk. It’s got a slim but tough layer of sci-fi-worthy skin made to absorb shock. The design disperses impact energy, taking the beating on behalf of your phone.

Zizo Ion iPhone case

The Ion case, on the other hand, is crystal clear. This one is designed to accentuate the existing features of your phone, rather than replace them. Despite the minimalist style, it still meets military specifications, all without adding much bulk or weight.

Zizo’s cases can take a lot of punishment, but they won’t punish your wallet. If you buy straight through Zizo’s website, they run from $20 to $35. But if you buy through Amazon, they’re all under $20. Considering how much it costs to get an iPhone X, that’s a worthy investment.

If you like to take your phones out into the world, you’ll want them to be protected and easy to hold. Even if just for special outings — whether hiking, or skydiving — you’ll be hard-pressed to find tougher cases than these.
