Apple unveiled its first iPhone of 2020, the iPhone SE 2, on Wednesday. The second-generation SE is the first mid-range device to enter the iPhone family since the original SE hit shelves back in 2016.
The phone is available to pre-order from today with prices starting at £419. But, just because it costs a little less than the iPhone 11, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t protect it.
From tough, protective cases to multitasking wallets, Trusted Reviews has swept the internet for the best iPhone SE 2 cases available to order right now.
