Apple devices are appealing for many reasons, and chief among them is their exacting design. The in-hand feel of an iPhone is as key to owning one as any other hardware or software features. So why would you want to hide that subtlety inside a bulky case?

The new iPhone XR, XS and XS Max carry on Apple’s design philosophy. With a new set of dimensions and some tweaks to their color palette, these devices are worthy of their lineage.

Slim, sleek iPhone shields

Just in time for Cupertino’s latest mobile offering, Totallee has unveiled a new line of super-thin cases for iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. Each offers a critical layer of protection without obscuring the devices’ nuanced design features.

Since 2013, Totallee has become known for making incredibly thin, branding-free cases that protect smartphones without obscuring them. Snugly fitting the device, it’s easy to think the phone and the case were made by the same team, with an emphasis on the essential.

Backed by a two-year warranty, each case is just 0.02 inches thin and weighs a mere 0.01 ounces. They feature precision molding and cutouts for the iPhone’s features and contours. Once joined, it’s actually difficult to tell that the phone is inside a case.

These minimalist iPhone cases come in a variety of finishes: semi-transparent, glossy, clear and leather. You can choose to retain or augment the native hue of your brand new phone. Either way, it’s going to be safe from drops and dings in a case that lets the device’s carefully designed details shine through.

Basically, Totallee’s cases are ideal for someone who would prefer to keep their iPhone “naked,” but doesn’t want the inevitable mishap to end up being unbearably expensive. Each of these Totallee cases costs $29, except for the leather-backed variant, which goes for $35. You can find them on Totallee’s website, as well as on Amazon.
