Tech moves fast. But in the time it’s taken for Apple to release another batch of vaguely familiar iPhones, we haven’t exactly revolutionised how we protect them. Cases are still cases. They still wrap your pricey slab of glass in plastic, leather, or - if you’re feeling brave - something glittery. So now that the iPhone 16 range is poised to bulge the seams of your pockets this autumn, here comes the ritual scroll through online case shops. Enter Proporta, a site that’s been quietly chugging along for years, equal parts reliable and lightly forgettable.
Let’s avoid the usual pretence here. You probably don’t need a £40 case with magnetic clasps engineered by monks in the Alps. At the same time, going full minimalist and carrying your phone "naked" is either a brave design statement or a financial misjudgment waiting to happen. Proporta lives somewhere in the reasonable middle. It sells cases that are generally good enough, at prices that occasionally look startlingly low in a comforting way. Like a budget airline that actually arrives.
You’ll find a heavy lean on two brands: Proporta’s own affordable in-house options, and Ted Baker’s more premium (but sporadically discounted) floral fashion cases. The latter are more about what your phone looks like on the table in a café than how it survives a fall off your bike. Still, the current spring sale trims many of the Ted Baker folio cases from £40 to a more palatable £24.99. That’s not category-shifting, but it's better than paying full price for something mostly admired during video calls.
If you’ve somehow already secured an iPhone 16 or are simply planning early, you’ll be pleased to know that Proporta offers a full suite of compatible cases for the new models - including Plus, Pro, and Max. They even pre-categorised the optimism with phrases like "much pro much max", presumably in a fit of irony rather than a crisis of copywriting. For those still clutching your 13 Mini or SE like a talisman of simpler times, there’s support too. No iPhone left behind. At least not yet.
The more utilitarian Proporta cases - for the practical among you - start at under £10 when on sale. They’re not going to make your heart race, but they’ll probably absorb a fall better than your optimism. A few models include Screen Protectors at discounted rates (usually £9.99, but some are currently as low as £5 if paired with a case). Protection bundled with protection is peak Proporta logic, even if the glass is hard to distinguish from glass you've already cracked.
There are some flourishes: 50% off screen protectors when bought with a case, free shipping over £20 (which most purchases will quietly nudge you towards anyway), and a 10% off voucher code if you surrender your email address to the inevitable newsletter. Spring Sale discounts stretch up to 50% sitewide, especially generous if you're not picky. Returns are plain - within 30 days, unused, and in original packaging. Think high street return policy rather than avant-garde inconvenience.
Shipping is straightforward: standard UK delivery gets the job done, typically within 2–3 working days. Not exactly next-hour drone drop, but it works. International customers get service too, albeit with higher delivery fees and longer waits. You know the drill.
Proporta doesn’t promise to change your life. It won’t say the word "artisan" unless describing the coffee you're spilling on your device. But if you’re after a case that works, arrives on time, and costs less than replacing your phone outright, it holds up. Ted Baker’s designs might divide opinion - elegant to some, busy to others - but at least they try. The in-house Proporta cases win on utility, though rarely on aesthetics.
In a world full of companies trying very hard to convince you they’re more than just a shop, Proporta’s quiet competence is actually kind of refreshing. It's the shopping equivalent of going home early and feeling unusually good about it.
