iPhone SE 2022/2020

Cases and screen protectors for iPhone SE 2020 and 2022

iPhone SE second generation (2020) and third generation (2022) are compact smartphones with a 4.7-inch Retina LCD display and a Home button with Touch ID. The 2022 model is equipped with an A15 Bionic processor and a 5G modem, while the 2020 version uses the A13 Bionic. Both have identical dimensions (138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3 mm, 144 g), so cases and screen protectors are interchangeable between generations.

Which case for iPhone SE to choose?

The aluminum chassis of the iPhone SE is resistant to minor impacts, but the glass back is worth protecting. Here are the most popular types of cases:

• Clear cases — showcase the color of the chassis, e.g. Spigen Liquid Crystal or Ringke Fusion
• Rugged cases — reinforced corners, drop protection, e.g. Spigen Tough Armor
• Slim cases — ultra thin, do not add bulk to the compact dimensions
• Silicone cases — pleasant to the touch, good shock absorption

Tempered glass screen protectors for iPhone SE

The flat 4.7-inch display makes it easy to apply a 9H tempered glass screen protector. Manufacturers such as 3mk offer sets with a glass protector for the front and a film for the back. It is worth paying attention to models with an oleophobic coating, which minimizes fingerprints.

Compatibility with iPhone 8

iPhone SE 2nd and 3rd generation share the chassis with iPhone 8. Cases and screen protectors are fully interchangeable. If you are looking for a newer budget iPhone with a larger screen, check out the accessories for iPhone 16e.
