The iPhone 12 Mini is being touted as Apple’s true return to form at making a compact phone, and for good reasons. Apple has not made any major compromises when it comes to the iPhone 12 Mini, save for one obvious cutback – a smaller battery. But starting at $599, this ain’t a cheap phone, so putting a case on it is a no-brainer. But if you still want to flaunt those flat sides and don’t want to impede its compact in-hand feel, a thin case is the best option. To save you the trouble of an exhaustive trip to Amazon or Best Buy, we’ve rounded up the best thin cases for the iPhone 12 Mini:
-
Spigen Ultra Hybrid
Let’s start with the most minimal option - a clear case. Spigen’s ultra-hybrid clear case will let you flaunt the iPhone 12 Mini’s design in all its glory while simultaneously protecting it. It has a TPU bumper for superior edge protection, has raised lips, and allows wireless charging.
-
Torras Slim Fit Case
With a thickness of just 0.03 inch, Torras Slim Fit is one of the thinnest cases for the iPhone 12 Mini out there.

Apple MagSafe Clear Case
As the name makes it abundantly clear, Apple’s own clear case is aimed at folks who desire a clear case to flaunt their shiny new iPhone 12 Mini and also want the convenience of MagSafe charging. Plus, the scratch-resistant polycarbonate shell will provide the requisite protection.

Tozo Thin iPhone 12 mini Case
The semi-transparent TOZO case is claimed to be the world’s thinnest hard case for the iPhone, thanks to a thickness of just 0.35mm. It has a matte surface finish that also keeps fingerprints at bay, has raised bezels to protect the camera isle and supports wireless charging as well.
-
Apple MagSafe Silicone Case
This case should be on your list if MagSafe is important to you. Apple’s silicone case has a silky, soft-touch surface finish on the outside and a microfiber lining on the inside to protect the rear glass panel from scratches. Aside from MagSafe, it also plays well with Qi charging.
Our picks from the best thin cases for the iPhone 12 Mini list:
If your primary criterion is an unobtrusive case that doesn’t come in the way you of enjoying the iPhone 12 Mini’s blocky design and flaunting its color, a clear case should be your only choice. And if you’re inclined to get one, Apple’s own clear case will offer you just that. Another huge advantage is that this case supports Apple’s MagSafe charger as well as other Qi-certified charging mats.
However, if you are looking for a soft touch silicone case but don’t necessarily want to spend what Apple asks for its own MagSafe silicone case, Caseology has got you covered. Caseology’s Nano Pop Silicone case has a soft-touch surface finish and a soft lining on the inside as well. The Air Space will shield the corners against accidental drops, while the raised edges will protect the camera module. The best part? It comes in multiple colors with a really cool yet subtle two-tone finish.
