There's no denying that the naked iPhone 12 is one slick-looking machine. It looks good and feels good in your hand with those solid squared edges and flat sides. Covering up all that beauty with a bulky phone case seems a terrible shame. If you feel the same way, then why not look over this list of the best iPhone 12 ultra-thin cases to see which one works for you?
Slimmest clear case
For the slimmest case, the totallee Thin iPhone Case really is barely there. The transparent, soft TPU of the clear version is less than a millimeter thick, so it doesn't add bulk or weight to your iPhone as shown in our review. The raised bezel around the camera and screen provides some protection against minor bumps and scratches.
Thin grip
Not only is the Caudabe Veil ultra-thin, but it also features a micro-etched surface that provides an excellent grippy texture as we mentioned in our review. This case will look like part of your iPhone, and it won't slip out of your hand. A great choice for those of us with butterfingers.
Thinnest of the ultra-thin
Peel is the thinnest case you'll find for the iPhone 12 at less than a half-millimeter thick — basically a sheet of paper. Although it's certainly not the most protective case on this list, it is the most minimal of the bunch. In the PEEL Case, your iPhone will look and feel naked.
The minimal wallet
Most card cases and wallet cases are pretty hefty, but the ANHONG is a different story. The slim clear case incorporates a card slot in the back for you to slip in a credit card or ID. It's a great minimal solution for going out sans wallet.
Svelte silicone
The Apple Silicone Case is great, but it's not all that thin. It's also very expensive. OTOFLY brings a more affordable and much slimmer option in soft, supple silicone. The silky smooth texture feels great to the touch and also provides good shock absorption.
Protection plus
Here's a super slim case that also provides excellent drop protection. The Bare Armour case has a paper-thin, clear back panel that lets the Apple logo shine through, but thicker, shock-resistant bumpers protect the corners, screen, and camera. It's not the thinnest case here, but it does provide better protection than most other ultra-thin cases.
The original MagSafe case
Apple's own Silicone Case with MagSafe is the first MagSafe case on the market, announced alongside the iPhone 12 itself. If you want to take full advantage of the iPhone 12's MagSafe accessories and features, you'll need a MagSafe case like this slim beauty.
Clearly colorful and magnetic
Get your MagSafe compatibility and slim protection with a clear case (with or without a colorful bumper) that lets the gorgeous color of your iPhone 12 shine through. Several color options enhance the colorful iPhone 12 lineup.
Cool texture
So you like your basic black cases but you still want it thin, MagSafe-compatible, and with an interesting texture to keep it from being boring. This is your case.

Don't cover up all that iPhone 12 beauty with a big hefty case! Choose one of the best iPhone 12 ultra-thin cases to maintain that slim profile while keeping your handset safe from scratches and minor drops.
For the absolute slimmest case, you'll want the PEEL Case. Although it may not provide as much protection as some other cases on this list, there's nothing thinner than this. If a naked feel is what you like, this is the way to go.
However, if you want to be able to use MagSafe chargers, MagSafe battery packs, MagSafe charging stands, and MagSafe car mounts, you'll need a MagSafe-compatible case for your iPhone 12. You can't go wrong with Apple's own, of course, as it's designed by Apple engineers to hug the phone's curves to perfection.
