The Ballistic HC is a tough case that’s designed to protect your phone in cases of extreme drops or exertion.

Slip Protection – Best Choice

Smartphone backs are notoriously slippery, so an anti-slip protection for the back of your phone helps you hold onto it more easily.

The Narrow is an anti-slip sticker, rather than an actual phone case. The sticker, created by a Japanese company, transforms your smartphone so that it won’t ever slip out of your hands while you’re using it.

Scratch Protection – Best Choice

Even if you don’t feel like you need drop protection, smartphones also face daily wear and tear. Scratches on your screen, even minimal ones, can affect how well you can use on-phone apps like email.

The Otterbox smartphone case keeps your screen protected with a clear cover over which you can still easily scroll and tap through your phone apps. Additionally, the sturdy back cover keeps the rest of your phone protected.
