Protecting your iPhone should be a priority, especially considering how much of an investment an iPhone SE is, even if it is a budget-friendly offering from Apple. Putting a case on your iPhone can keep it protected if you drop it or bang it against something. But your case can do more than just protect your phone. Some cases do double duty, like providing power or holding your money. Though there are a lot of phone cases on the market, some stand out against the rest. 

The case has a 3200mAh battery capacity for the iPhone SE and is compatible with both the 2020 and 2022 models, in case you’ve got the older one. It’s also durable enough to offer protection to your phone as well, though it adds a bit of heft because of the battery pack. Just don’t forget to charge the case before leaving the house so it functions as you expect it to. Pros
