On the front, it does an excellent job of protecting the screen—so much so that I stopped using a screen protector. This wasn’t an easy decision. But I was tired of all the dust that would collect alongside the bezel and how unresponsive the display was sometimes. It was only shortly after I first got the case and removed the screen protector, that I dropped my phone outside on the sidewalk. My boyfriend and I looked at each other in horror as I picked up my phone from the concrete. Not only was the display perfectly intact, but the case was too—without a ding or dent in sight.

This hasn’t been my experience with other cases. Whenever I’ve dropped my phone in the past, the screen protector has either fully cracked or the case bore the brunt of the fall. I know that’s the point, but after enough damage, the case looks so awful that I have no choice but to replace it. I’ve dropped it multiple times since then with the Wildflower case on, and you would never be able to tell.

A Few Small Requests

I love Wildflower cases, but as with anything, there’s always room for improvement. For starters, I wish the cases had support for MagSafe. The charging technology has been out since 2020, and most brands have updated all of their cases to include it. So it’s a bummer that Wildflower doesn’t. The cases are thin enough that you can still attach certain MagSafe accessories to them—I can still stick the MagSafe iPhone wallet to the back of the iPhone 15 Pro securely. But this hack didn’t work with the iPhone 14 Pro Max, particularly when trying to attach it to a Casetify MagSafe car mount.

As a workaround, Wildflower offers MagSafe Magnetic Rings ($12 for a 3-pack). I bought these for when I was using the bigger iPhone. They work well and are just as strong as cases that come with built-in MagSafe support—the ring had strong grips on both the wallet and the car mount. I don’t find it the most aesthetically pleasing. But I do use a lot of MagSafe accessories, and it’s a lot more convenient than having to take the case on and off.

Speaking of aesthetics, my other request is that Wildflower change up the color of the bumpers to match the case design, especially since the bumpers are so prominent. As of now, it’s black across the board, which doesn’t look great against the fun prints. The bumpers are part of the brand’s signature look, but it would be nice to see the company have some fun with it.

My last plea is that Wildflower expand its cases to the world of Android phones too. The company offers cases across the entire Apple lineup, including iPhone, AirPods, iPads, and Airtags. But it would be nice to see the catalog expand, with more offerings across a bunch of different smartphone brands.

Regardless, I highly recommend these cases for those with an iPhone who are also wildly irresponsible when caring for their phones. If you (like me), too often watch your phone fly from your hands to the ground, then a Wildflower case is most definitely your best option—especially if you want to take fewer trips to the Apple Store.
