The Gear4 Crystal Palace is a great case, both in terms of its simple design and the company’s patented D30 protection material that offers impressive 16ft drop protection. Don’t assume the heavy-duty drop protection indicates a bulky case either, as the Crystal Palace is relatively slim compared to other protective cases, and can be used with wireless chargers too.
It features a small raised lip on the front that should keep your display suspended when placed face-down, avoiding hairline scratches, and the soft-touch finish adds to the overall premium feel of the case. We’d still recommend using a screen protector though, as the case won’t do much if landing face-down on an uneven surface like gravel.
It’s available in a variety of colours, not just the blue finish we’ve seen, and can be picked up for £23.79 in the UK and $26.99 in the US.
