A case covers what glass does not
The Apple Watch screen rounds off at the edge, and the edge is what meets the door handle. Flat glass covers the centre, while a case takes the hit on the corner of the body — which is why they are often bought together, or why people pick a case with glass already built in.
- Bumper without glass. Thin, keeps the watch slim and leaves the screen open to touch.
- Case with built-in glass. One part covers both the edge and the display, and it is easier to fit than a separate protector.
- Clear or coloured. Clear keeps the case colour visible; coloured changes the look as much as a new band.
Size follows the case
Cases are made for the case size: 40, 41, 45 or 49 mm (Ultra). Find yours in the Watch app or on the case back — another size simply will not click into place.
Alongside
Standalone screen protection is under Apple Watch protectors, bands are here and chargers under smartwatch chargers. The watches themselves are on the Apple Watch page.
Frequently asked questions
Does a case get in the way of changing the band? No: the case covers the sides of the body and leaves the band slot free.
Do I still need glass on top of a case? Not if the case has glass built in. With an open bumper, adding a protector makes sense.
Does a case block charging? No, the charging area on the back stays clear.
Will a 45 mm case fit Ultra? No. The Ultra body is 49 mm and needs its own size.
