The best Nokia 7.1 cases to protect your midrange monster

By

The Nokia 7.1 is a sleek and powerful midrange phone featuring the Snapdragon 636 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of onboard storage. It’s good-looking too, with a modern, bezel-less design and a glass back panel. It’s also a bargain at just $349.

But all that power, beauty, and value come to nothing if it gives up the ghost due to a fall or catastrophic shock. The glass body is also a fingerprint magnet, and no one wants their phone looking like a greasy, smudgy mess. Keep horrific accidents and fingerprints at bay with a protective case, and make sure your phone keeps on rocking well into your second year. Here are the best Nokia 7.1 cases.

Skinomi Dark Wood TechSkin ($16)

If you’re not a fan of the extra bulk a case can add to your phone, but you still want to grab some surface protection, it might be worth considering a skin. A skin will provide good protection against scratches and other sorts of surface damage that could otherwise mar your phone’s style. However, since it’s just a film addition attached to your phone, it won’t do much to protect against drops and other similar hazards. This skin is patterned to look like dark wood, adding a new design to your phone, and it’s made from quality materials. Best of all, it even comes with a free film screen protector so you can keep your display covered too.

Avidet Crystal Clear Case ($8)

Clear cases fill a good niche within the case market, providing decent protection without changing the outward look of your device. This case from Avidet is made from flexible but strong TPU, and it’s completely clear, providing a window straight through to your Nokia 7.1’s design. The soft TPU provides additional grip on the device, while also giving some great shock-absorption against minor drops and bumps. It’s thin and light, adding barely any bulk to your phone — but don’t expect it to absorb big hits like a larger case would. If you can’t bear to seal your Nokia 7.1 away behind thick plastic, then this is a great choice — and it’s a good price too.

Kugi Anti-Slip Case ($5)

Looking for something with a bit more protection? This case from Kugi is made from TPU as well, but it’s slightly stiffer than the variant you’ll find on most clear cases. It’s still as protective though, with great shock-absorbency that’s still fairly slim and light. It’s rocking a fairly basic style, but it’s still not a bad-looking rugged case. The back panel of the case has been reinforced with extra scratch-resistance, and slashes up the side and along the back should mean that keeping hold of your device is never a problem. It’s extremely cheap, provides great protection, and doesn’t look too bad either.

Official Nokia Flip Cover ($20)

No one else knows the Nokia 7.1 like Nokia does, and it’s offering some great cases to complement your new midrange monster. There are a few cases available from Nokia, but we really like the executive style and all-over protection offered by this blue wallet case. It’s made from an outer cover of PU leather, combined with an inner core of hard polycarbonate (PC) that holds your device within the case. The PU leather cover contains a single pocket for spare cards or cash, and flips across the display, or can be folded behind the device when in use. The cover can even be folded to form a handy horizontal stand for watching videos on the go. It looks extremely stylish, and comes at a great price.

Sun Van Shockproof Rugged Case ($7)

If you’re looking for a case that’ll take a bit more punishment than most, then you’re probably interested in a case like this one. The style will surely divide opinion, but it’s still a great protective case, with extended bumper corners and non-slip grip. It’s made from tough TPU with a polycarbonate back plate, and this combination provides good shock-absorption with a strong backbone. There’s some additional utility too, thanks to a rotating kickstand that means the phone can be hands-free in both horizontal and landscape modes. It also comes with a tempered glass screen protector, giving all-around protection. It might not be the best-looking case here, but it’s probably the most protective.

The best Motorola One 5G cases and covers
Motorola One 5G cases

The Motorola One 5G is one of a growing range of affordable yet high-quality Android smartphones. Priced at a more accessible $445, it still manages to fit 5G support, a good camera, a long-lasting battery, smooth software, and a very sharp screen into its glossy plastic frame. It's much more capable and user-friendly than its price alone would suggest, but like almost all smartphones, it's not immune to falls and damage.

Fortunately, we've rounded up some of the best Motorola One 5G cases you can buy right now. These will protect your new phone from nasty bumps, shocks, and drops, and while no case will eliminate all conceivable risks, they go a long way to keeping it in one piece.
