Does Your Old Case Still Fit? An iPhone 14–17 Fit & MagSafe Guide

Ivory Cobalt clear MagSafe case for the iPhone fit guide
Quick answer

Cases are model-specific — the camera cutout won't line up between generations, so match the case to your exact iPhone. Tough fits iPhone 11–17; Tough MagSafe is iPhone 13+; Clear MagSafe is iPhone 14+; iPhone 11–12 use Tough or Biodegradable (no MagSafe).

Upgraded your iPhone and hoping your old case still fits? Sometimes it does — often it doesn't. Apple changes body dimensions and, more importantly, camera-bump layouts between generations, and even a millimetre off means your camera pokes past the cutout.

Why cases don't always carry over

The screen might look the same size, but the camera module is usually the dealbreaker. A case cut for the iPhone 15's cameras won't line up on a 16 or 17, even if the phone slides in. For a clean fit and proper protection, match the case to your exact model — and note that Plus, Pro, and Pro Max are different sizes too.

Which iPhone gets which MagSafe

iPhone Available styles MagSafe
11 & 12 Tough, Biodegradable No MagSafe cases
13 Tough, Tough MagSafe, Biodegradable Tough MagSafe (no Clear MagSafe)
14–17 Tough, Tough MagSafe, Clear MagSafe, Biodegradable Full MagSafe range

Each listed case supports compatible wireless charging. MagSafe styles add built-in magnetic alignment for compatible chargers and accessories. Charger compatibility can vary by device and setup; non-Apple chargers are not guaranteed for every Tough MagSafe setup.

How to check your exact model

Open Settings › General › About and look at Model Name. Choose that exact model on the product page or in Design Your Own — don't assume last year's case fits.
