iPhone case recommendation

[d000hg]

I'm finally going to trade up to a high-spec iPhone - most likely a 14 Pro - after running several generations old models for years.
This is a pricey device so I figure I should get proper protection for it.

I assume I need a screen protector and a case as two separate purchases?
I am not someone who routinely drops their phone or does extreme activities so I would prefer something slimline, but still decent.
In the past I've had issues with charging ports getting full of crud from pockets/DIY.
I haven't figured out all this MagSafe stuff yet (I don't currently use wireless charging) but I do like to mount it by magnet in my car.

Any recommendations on good products and/or what to look for would be great. Is this a "just buy a Chinese no-name brand from Amazon with a good review" situation, or is it worth buying from a proper brand like Mous?

Apple case looks good and works well, but not cheap IIRC, perhaps 50 quid.

I have a Toro leather wallet, so it holds a couple of cards and some cash as well as the phone. Not great if you want to mount it on the dash, but means one less thing in my pockets.

i've got one of these:

wallet type, like WTFH though.

Definitely get a Gorilla glass screen protector. They sell them in Apple stores. As for the case, I'd buy a Mous or similar.

I bought HWMBO a snake hive case many moons ago and he's bought a new one each time he's upgraded his phone.

Personally, I just go for clear covers and my current is a case mate one. I've never bothered with screen protectors and (tempts fate) have not once damaged a screen in all my years of owning a mobile phone of any flavour or value.

I've just bought one of these for my Samsung and it looks the dogs danglies. I don't have any mag fit stuff yet but thought I'd best get the comptible one. They do a cheaper one without it I believe. It popped up in two different online reviews so that was good enough for me.

If you want something a bit more upmarket, maybe in Himalayan Crocodile, Alligator or Ostrich you could have a look at these.
