One of my favourite brands, Caudabe Sheath combines the best of both worlds - minimalism and drop protection. It measures 0.9mm at the thinnest point and is drop-tested to 2m. The matte texture also helps to provide some grip. The Sheath cases can be purchased from the Caudabe Singapore Official Store on Shopee with prices starting at S$39.

Designed for the ultimate minimalist, Totallee Transparent Case measures a mere 0.33mm thin. It is made with a soft, grippy material which the company claims to be great for shock absorption. There is a subtle lip to protect the camera and screen too. While it has no magnet built-in, the case is so thin that it will not intefere when using with other MagSafe accessories. The Totallee Transparent Case is priced at US$35 and can be purchased from the official site or Amazon.

The Mous Limitless 3.0 case has impact-absorbing AiroShock technology to guard against drops. The raised top and bottom edges protect the screen without affecting the edge-to-edge swiping.
