6 great cases for your Essential PH-1 phone

Essential made quite a splash last year when it released the PH-1. The phone’s most striking feature was its edge-to-edge screen — using just a small notch for sensors and camera, the phone is all screen. That’s a great feature, but it means you need to protect that much more screen from falls and other damage. To help with that, we’ve put together a list of the best Essential phone cases you can get today.

Foluu Essential Flip cover case

The Foluu Essential Flip cover is a great way to protect your investment. This is one of the third-party Essential phone cases that naturally protects the screen as well as the body of the phone. It sports a TPU plastic shell inside the case to protect the body of the phone. Additionally, you have space to store ID or a credit card with your phone for easy access during a night on the town. Finally, the case can be used as a kickstand when watching videos or other media. The outside is a gorgeous PU Leather, available in six different colors to match your style.

Feiten Essential Premium Flip Leather PU Wallet

Feiten’s Essential Premium Flip leather case provides all-around protection for your Essential Phone. The soft PU leather outside and the inside hard shell case protect the screen and body from damage in case of a fall, or even an errant key scrape. The case provides all around body protection for your device. It can unfold into a kickstand for media consumption. The case is available in six different colors.

TUDIA carbon fiber design lightweight TPU bumper shock absorption cover

TUDIA’s carbon fiber lightweight TPU case has a lot going for it in both design and protection. The Essential phone case is made of high quality TPU, a rubberized gel to protect from drops and falls. It also features raised edges to help protect the screen in the event of a screen-first fall. The case comes in three different colors and features a soft grip design making the phone easy to hold and comfortable in the hand. Precise cutouts offer access to all ports and buttons without having to remove the case.

New Frontier Wireless accessory slim armor hybrid cover

New Frontier Wireless has a slick looking Essential phone case to keep your device safe from harm. It’s available in a rainbow of color choices — 16 of them to be exact. Along with that, it offers dual-layered protection, with a soft TPU inside glove surrounded by a hard plastic shell for impact resistance. Raised edges also protect your screen from a face-first fall. The case is stylish and easy to hold with responsive and tactile buttons and precision holes cut for port access.

TUDIA Polycarbonate snap on back protective case cover for Essential PH-1 phone

TUDIA offers this slim snap on hardshell case for your Essential phone. This case is unique in that it’s one of the few that allows space for Essential’s 360 camera as well. Most other cases have to be removed prior to using the 360 camera. This case has a cut out specifically for that device. If you’re a 360-degree photographer, this might be the Essential phone case you’re looking for. It comes in four different colors to suit your style.

Incipio Essential phone NGP Pure Case — clear

Finally, we come to Incipio’s Essential clear case. When phone manufacturers go to all the trouble of designing a great looking phone, it’s a shame to cover it up with some other case. Clear cases allow you to show off your phone’s beauty while still protecting the valuable assets contained within. Precision cuts and manufactured buttons allow full access to all the phones controls and ports without having to remove the case. It’s the best of both worlds — showing off what the phone does best, while still keeping it safe against drops and other accidental damage.
