Who said iPhone 5/5s cases have to be a costly affair? Cases for iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s from top-brands like Belkin and Griffin are available for under $20. There are cases that are even cheaper. Here are a few more cases – slim, minimal and cool – that are not just under $20 but also provide a good level of protection to your iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s.
1. elago Outift Matrix
Elago’s “Outift Matrix” is one of the finest cases for the iPhone 5. What makes it so impressive is the hybrid design. The combo of the hard PC and aluminum plate looks adorable. It wraps around the compact elegantly.
Thanks to the precise cutouts, you have easy access to the Lightning port and headphone jack. Plus, the smooth exterior offers improved grip, preventing the smartphone from slipping out of your palm.
USP: The hybrid design

2. Belkin Grip Max
Belkin has been one of the best case manufacturers for the iPhone. This time, they’re out with the iPhone 5 case that’s highly protective. However, it doesn’t look bulky.
The TPU and PC construction is durable enough to withstand drops effortlessly. Plus the precise cutouts and responsive buttons ensure you have no trouble while using the device. Besides, Grip Max comes with a one-year warranty.
USP: Shock-absorbing design

3. Griffin Survivor
Just like Belkin, Griffin has been one of the leading accessory manufacturers for iPhone. Therefore, it would be remiss, if we didn’t give a close look at its offering.
Talking about “Survivor,” it’s designed to offer the desired safeguard to your iPhone both from nasty bumps and scrapes. Of course, it looks bulky and doesn’t turn heads at all. But keep in mind, this is exactly what you should choose when going for the adventure. Moreover, Survivor comes in multiple colors to choose from.
USP: Protective design

4. JETech
I find this case from JETech at par with the very best. And what gives credence to my claim are the four stars out of almost 250 customer reviews.
The fusion of PC and TPU has reinforced the construction to survive bumps with ease. With the smooth texture, you get the needed grip while holding the iPhone. Plus, the buttons and cutouts are all on point. On top of all, JETech is backed by the lifetime warranty.
USP: Smooth carbon fiber texture

5. OtterBox COMMUTER SERIES
Currently, OtterBox COMMUTER SERIES cases are available at just $16.94 on Amazon down from $34.95. I don’t think these cases need any introduction as they are primed to be premium suits for the iPhone.
With the compact design, these covers fit seamlessly on the iPhone. They offer the required safeguard from drops without cutting down on style. Moreover, COMMUTER SERIES covers are available in five colors topped by a one-year warranty.
Do note that not all the color variants are currently available under $20.
USP: Impressive compact design
