As digital nomads, Need to protect your phone while traveling as a digital nomad?

One of the most important items on your digital nomad packing list is your phone. We would be lost without ours because it helps us plan trips, get directions and keep us connected to the internet no matter where we go.

If your phone breaks and it’s all just because you didn’t get a digital nomad phone case well…that would suck! You can’t prevent accidents from happening and dropping your phone but you can slip on a digital nomad phone case to protect it from those instances.

In this blog, we will share the 5 best digital nomad phone cases that will protect your phone no matter how far or wide you travel.

What Kind Of Phone Cases Do Digital Nomads Need?

I feel like our phone plays a bigger part in our lives than we can ever know. We use Google Translate to converse with others, maps to get directions to our Airbnb and so many more apps to get us through life.

As digital nomads, we are constantly on the move to old and new digital nomad destinations so it’s important to keep our phones protected at all times. How?

Buying a digital nomad phone case. But not just any case will do…

Here are some things we look for in digital nomad phone cases:

  • drop protection
  • long-lasting
  • strong, durable
  • beautiful design

While it’s great to have a super protective phone case for digital nomads, we don’t want to show you ones that are bulky, don’t fit in the pocket and are just not ‘aesthetic’. Thankfully, it’s much easier now to find a phone case that’s both beautiful and ultra-protective.

We’re sharing the five best digital nomad phone cases so you can keep on adventuring on your travels and worry less about your phone.

5x Best Digital Nomad Phone Cases For Full-Time Travel

Full-time travel is not an easy thing. It requires a lot of planning, effort and money!

You don’t want to add buying a new phone to your list as you travel just because you dropped it by accident one day. A digital nomad phone case does more than protect because it’s also become quite the fashion statement!

A couple of things to ask yourself before going through this list is:

  • “How often do I drop my phone?”
  • “Does style or protection matter more?”
  • “Do I need the cool upgrades like ‘wireless charging’?”

Ready to get started?

Whether you just need a new case or you’re looking for something extra protective, here are the 5 best phone cases for digital nomads that can withstand your travels around the world.

1. Nomad Sport Phone Case

nomad phone cases

  • Type: Sports Case
  • Colors: 5 available
  • Sizes From: iPhone 11
  • Price: $39.95

The first on this list has to be a company called Nomad right? It just makes sense!

The Sports Case by Nomad is a great everyday case if you want something slim but you still want a strong, durable case to protect your phone. We recommend the sports case because it’s the most versatile case that they offer. The sleek design inspired by California tones makes it a very elegant and minimalist style.

Nomad also sells a vegan leather case and a leather flip phone case where you can store your credit cards and ID. The Sport Case is by far their most affordable option and the leather can cost anywhere between $50-$80 USD depending on your phone’s generation.

2. Casetify

casetify phone cases

  • Type: Impact Cases
  • Colors: too many to count
  • Sizes From: iPhone 7+
  • Price: $55+

Want a digital nomad phone case that can withstand a 6.6ft drop but still look super cute?

That’s Casetify for you!

They have the widest range of colors, designs and styles than any of the other digital nomad phone cases on this list. They also have plenty of other accessories for your phone like phone straps, screen protectors, MagSafe battery packs and so much more.

I remember watching one of their first ads where they throw the phones up in the air and let them drop but it doesn’t break at all! Thanks to their strong, durable technology. They definitely cost more than your usual case but the point is that they should last you at least a couple of years.

This is the best option for you if you want more unique designs and aesthetics – there are so many choices!

3. Otterbox

otterbox phone cases

  • Type: Thin Cases
  • Colors: too many to count
  • Sizes From: iPhone 5+
  • Price: $30+

I’d say Otterbox was the OG for strong, drop protective cases that became super popular across the country. They are well-known for having strong cases but also for having a built-in pop socket in their digital nomad phone cases which is really helpful.

Otterbox has expanded its collection to include way more designs, colors and options for you to choose from. You can have a simple phone case design with the robust defense needed to fight heavy daily use.

They are more affordable than Casetify but still offer good protection. This is a great alternative if you don’t want to spend that kind of money but need the extra durability.

4. Speck

speck phone cases

  • Type: Thin Cases
  • Colors: too many to count
  • Sizes From: iPhone X+
  • Price: $45+

Speck is known to produce great protective cases for laptops, airpods and phones. They’ve been around for a while and I remember carrying my pink Speck laptop case all around my high school feeling so cool (lol).

The digital nomad phone cases from Speck are made with their clear impact technology to keep your phone protected. It is said to withstand drops of up to 13 ft which is actually more than Casetify’s claim.

The colors are very simple and plain from Speck so if you’re looking for a case with more design or a wide range of colors to choose from, this might not be for you! If you just want the protection and don’t mind simple designs, you’ll love their digital nomad phone cases.

5. Incipio

incipio phone cases

  • Type: Gear4
  • Colors: 5
  • Sizes From: iPhone 11
  • Price: $12+

This is the cheapest option on the list of digital nomad phone cases.

But that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the quality. Thankfully, Incipio has a great selection that’ll fit any budget whether that’s as low as $12 (on sale) or as high as $40. It’s up to you!

Incipio’s phone case has drop protection and antimicrobial protection. The colors available aren’t too pretty (or maybe that’s me being picky) but if you’re fine with simple colors like black, navy, etc then you won’t have a problem. If you don’t mind paying a little more for a storage compartment for your credit cards, then you should check out the Stashback collection from Incipio.

This is the best cost-effective option for you on the list of digital nomad phone cases but there’s also a limited number of colors and designs.

BONUS: MOFT Stand & Wallet

If you don’t want a bulky case but need to have a stand and/or wallet combo then the BEST option is the MOFT Invisible stand and wallet. My friend, Dom, knows how much I love MOFT ever since I discovered it in 2019 and he bought me this for my birthday!

moft invisible stand wallet

It’s super cool – you simply stick it on to your case and you can make your phone stand vertically or horizontally. You can also add up to 4 card to the insert which I always do! This way I always have my ID and at least 1 digital nomad bank card.

Curious to find out more? Check out the MOFT invisible stand & wallet here.

Which Digital Nomad Phone Case Will You Choose?

We know how it can be stressful to break your phone in a foreign country where you don’t speak the language. Matthew drops his phone pretty frequently and his strong digital nomad phone case has saved him on several occasions.

But there are a ton of digital nomad phone cases out there…

…how ever will you choose?

We hope this curated list of the 5 best digital nomad phone cases helps you out and more importantly, allows you to put the worry of breaking your phone to bed so you can get out and continue your travels.

Flying out to Cyprus just made sense! 🇨🇾⁣ Flying out to Cyprus just made sense! 🇨🇾⁣
⁣
The weather in Europe started to get colder in October and if you know us, you’ll know we chase the sunshine ☀️⁣
⁣
The best part is that we were joining a coliving space with some friends we made back in Zagreb! We spent an awesome month together - exploring the country, getting work done together and getting to know each other better!⁣
⁣
We love coliving because you get to have an instant community as soon as you land. A nomadic life gets lonely (yes, even as a couple) and coliving spaces usually create great communities with like-minded people!⁣
⁣
⁣
@tohani_coliving was especially great at creating events for everyone. During our first week, we had a community design meeting to discuss and plan the kind of things we wanted to do together. I'll share more about our experience on coliving soon ✌️⁣

Is Skopje, North Macedonia on your destination lis Is Skopje, North Macedonia on your destination list? 🇲🇰⁣
⁣
On our Europe tour, we decided to make Skopje home for a few weeks! One of the main reason is because I needed to renew my passport which is much faster outside the country.⁣
⁣
Other than that, we didn’t really know what to expect. There weren't many blogs or videos about being digital nomads here. We could only find 1 coworking space in the area but there were plenty of cafes to visit! There’s a huge cafe culture which is always nice.⁣
⁣
We had a really nice, modern, comfortable apartment in Skopje for $580 USD which was 5 minutes walking from the city center. The cost of living is pretty affordable and it’s very safe! ⁣
⁣
If you’re looking for a city to get some work done, explore the surrounding destinations and establish some routine or even simply go to the BEST gym I've ever been to (@fit_in_performance) - Skopje could be that place for you!⁣
⁣
Would you visit Skopje, North Macedonia as a digital nomad?⁣

Lisbon, Portugal is the top digital nomad destinat Lisbon, Portugal is the top digital nomad destination in Europe! 🇵🇹Why?⁣
⁣
One word: community!⁣
⁣
According to some digital nomad statistics, loneliness is the #1 reason people leave this lifestyle. When you’re traveling alone (or even as a couple), you easily feel all alone. Thankfully, the digital nomad community is very strong, open and welcoming!⁣
⁣
Lisbon is also a popular spot because of the fast wifi (we had speeds of 500+ Mbps), endless coworking options and a relatively affordable cost of living (except the rising rental prices, of course let's be real). ⁣
⁣
Our month in this wonderful city wasn’t long enough! It’s got all the simple things we love:⁣
 ☕ specialty coffee⁣
🍷 delicious food & wine⁣
🥑 bustling brunch scene and ⁣
👯 friendly people & community⁣
⁣
We can easily see why digital nomads keep coming back to this city and we hope we can explore more of Portugal (Porto, Algrave, etc).⁣
⁣
Have you been a digital nomad in Lisbon before? What were your thoughts?⁣

We embarked on another 6-hour bus journey to our n We embarked on another 6-hour bus journey to our next digital nomad destination on this Europe tour.⁣
⁣
Zagreb, Croatia has been on our minds for a while. While most people think of Split or Dubrovnik, we wanted to visit the capital and see what it’s really like for digital nomads.⁣
⁣
These are some things that we think of before choosing a destination:⁣
- Is there an active digital nomad community?⁣
- What’s the wifi speeds like?⁣
- Are there good coworking spaces?⁣
- Is the cafe culture buzzing?⁣
⁣
And so much more! Our biggest concern was the community part. After traveling Serbia alone - we were starting to feel quite lonely! We joined an FB group and found someone had set up a weekly coworking day.⁣
⁣
It’s always nerve-wracking going to events where you don’t know anyone but as digital nomads, you get acquainted pretty quick! TLDR, we had a pretty close group of 8 working from cafes together, exploring Zagreb and getting to know each other.⁣
⁣
Zagreb is a great destination in Europe for a digital nomad wanting a more affordable cost of living while still exploring Croatia! 🇭🇷⁣

Never did we think we would visit Serbia…⁣ ⁣ Never did we think we would visit Serbia…⁣
⁣
…but we are SO glad we did!⁣
⁣
Serbia surprised us in so many ways, we honestly didn’t know what to expect! ⁣
⁣
That’s one of the ways we like to approach some of our travels - not judging the country by its cover. You can hear some positive (or negative) things about countries but you never truly know until you experience it for yourself. ⁣
⁣
We spent a month living in Belgrade, Serbia and it wasn’t long enough! With such limited time, as digital nomads you have to hit the ground running to get settled into your new home. We used our first 3 days to find (good) cafes to work from, sign up for a gym membership and plan our travel across Serbia.⁣
⁣
Here are some reasons we can recommend Belgrade to fellow digital nomads:⁣
- friendly, welcoming people⁣
- they have delicious food⁣
- high standard of living⁣
- relatively low cost of living⁣
- fast wifi with tons of cafes to work from ⁣
⁣
We ate countless bureks, drank copious amounts of coffee and worked from some of the coolest cafes. We can’t wait to get back to Belgrade!⁣
⁣
Serbia, you stole our hearts!⁣

⁣
TTA TIP: If you're in London, Pret has a subscription service for only about £30 and you get 5 drinks per day plus a cafe space to do a little work!⁣
