iPhone Cases with a Notch at the Bottom

What iPhone cases have an open slot at the bottom?

Let's talk iPhone cases, but not just any iPhone cases — ones with an open notch at the bottom. Yeah, you heard me right. You might think an open notch at the bottom is a design flaw, but it's actually helpful with the modern iPhones with no home button. Most cases wrap snugly around the entire edge of your device, making it a little cumbersome to swipe up. But that upward swipe is crucial for getting to the home screen and accessing multitasking. Also, the open bottom exposes the speaker so you can hear your music better, and won't obstruct any charging cables or accessories.

In my research, here are some cases that seem to have a notch. I haven't tested all of them personally, so make sure to double check before you order that it has a notch and that you are ordering the right case for your model. The notch might only be available for certain specific iPhone models on some sites.

List of Open-Notch iPhone Case

• MagSafe iPhone Cases from BullStrap
• Mujjo Case
• Air Case by Ipitaka
• The Aspen by Andar (certain iPhone models only)
• iPhone 12 | 12 Pro Clear Case with MagSafe (seems to be only for the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro models)

In my opinion, the standard case design doesn't cut it if you're using an iPhone without a physical home button. It creates this kind of "lip" at the bottom that can mess with your swipe game. These types of cases are not the norm, so I created this page to help you find them if you agree.

Does Apple Make a Case with an Open Notch at the Bottom?

Apple itself made cases like this for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. Other case manufacturers made iPhone cases with a notch for those, plus the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and now even the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro.

I believe that open-bottom iPhone cases give you an edge, literally, making upward swiping an absolute breeze. It takes an already streamlined action and makes it even easier.
