Case-Mate makes phone cases, screen protectors, watch bands, chargers and accessories, with a strong line in decorative designs such as glitter, marble, floral and gem-effect cases alongside rugged protective ones. The Case-Mate website sells the full range for iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models.
The biggest mistake with any case order is the wrong model. The second is buying a pretty case that does not protect enough for how you treat your phone. Sort those two and a Case-Mate order goes smoothly.
Match the exact phone model
Phone generations look similar but differ by a millimetre here and a camera bump there. An iPhone Pro case will not fit a Pro Max, and a case for last year's Pro often blocks the camera on this year's.
Check your model in the phone's settings before choosing, not from memory. On the Case-Mate site, select the exact model first and browse only within that filter.
New Case-Mate designs usually arrive when a new phone launches, while older phones keep a smaller selection. If you own an older model, buy a spare case while it is still in stock.
Protection levels: how much case you need
Case-Mate cases range from slim decorative designs to thicker protective ones with raised edges and reinforced corners. Product pages list a drop protection rating in feet; compare that figure between cases rather than relying on how chunky a case looks.
A slim Case-Mate case is fine for someone who keeps the phone on a desk or in a bag. If you drop your phone on pavements, work on your feet or have children grabbing it, choose a higher rated case.
Raised edges around the screen and camera matter as much as the rating. They keep glass off the ground when the phone lands face down.
MagSafe and wireless charging
If you use MagSafe chargers, wallets or car mounts with an iPhone, pick a Case-Mate case marked MagSafe compatible. These have magnets built in, so accessories snap on firmly through the case.
A case without magnets may still allow wireless charging, but MagSafe accessories will not hold. Thick cases and ones with metal decoration can also interfere with charging, so check the product page.
Card-holder and wallet cases are convenient but keep bank cards away from magnetic chargers and mounts where the product notes advise it.
Decorative cases: what to check
The glitter, gem and liquid-effect Case-Mate designs are the reason many people shop there. Read the product photos closely: a design that looks bold on screen can look quieter in hand, and vice versa.
Clear cases can yellow over time with sunlight and wear. That is normal for clear plastic generally; Case-Mate lists anti-yellowing features on some models, so check if that matters to you.
Liquid-filled cases should not be left in a hot car. Heat and pressure can cause any liquid case to leak.
Screen protectors and accessories
A case protects the edges; a screen protector protects the glass itself. Buy a Case-Mate protector for the same exact phone model so the case edges and protector do not fight each other.
Apply a protector in a steamy bathroom after a shower, when there is less dust in the air, and clean the screen thoroughly first.
Case-Mate also sells watch bands and charging gear. Check the watch size in millimetres before ordering a band.
Warranty and returns
Case-Mate has offered a warranty on its cases that covers defects such as cracks and loose parts under normal use. It does not cover your phone. Check the current Case-Mate warranty terms and keep your order confirmation.
Returns of unused products are accepted within a set window; check the current policy, especially for personalised cases, which are often final sale.
Where the Case-Mate savings are
The 30% code is the best Case-Mate discount here. Try it first on a case plus screen protector, which is the most common order.
The 21% code is a backup if the 30% one has ended. The welcome code is likely meant for a first order, so it suits new Case-Mate customers when the others fail.
Case-Mate codes are percentages, so the saving grows with the basket. Buying a case, protector and charger together in one order gets more from any single code than three separate orders.
Codes usually do not stack with sale prices or each other, and new-launch cases may be excluded. Check the total after entering each code.
Common questions
How do I know which Case-Mate case fits my phone?
Check the model in your phone settings, then filter the Case-Mate site by that exact model.
Do Case-Mate cases work with MagSafe?
Models marked MagSafe compatible do. Others may still charge wirelessly without holding magnetic accessories.
Are glitter Case-Mate cases protective?
Many carry a drop rating. Compare the rating on the product page with your needs.
Does the Case-Mate warranty cover my phone?
No. It covers defects in the case itself. Check the current terms.
