If there is one member of the iPhone 12 series that really got me excited, it is the iPhone 12 Mini. The fact that it is a compact phone is one big reason, but the amount of raw power and class-leading imaging capabilities that the device brings to the table simply makes it an irresistible offering. However, a starting price of $699 is not a small investment for most buyers, who will most likely shell out a few extra bucks to purchase a protective case. If you’ve been eying the iPhone 12 Mini (or have already pre-ordered one) and are now searching for a good protective case, look no further than this list of best iPhone 12 Mini cases in 2020.
