The handset sports up to 3GB of RAM, and has a sleek design despite featuring a plastic build around the edges and back.

Gorgeous colors
Kwmobile Bi-Color Cover
Kwmobile’s Bi-Color Cover has a pretty sweet transition from pink at the top to blue at the bottom. The case is made from TPU, offering flexibility along with some additional grip, and there are “precise” cutouts to all of your ports along with the camera bump and fingerprint scanner on the back.

Sparkling waterfall
NagaBee Floating Waterfall Case
With the NagaBee Floating Waterfall Case, you’re getting a boatload of protection to go along with a rather unique design. On the back, you’ll notice the case is a bit bulkier than expected, but that’s due to the portion housing the sparkles and glitter that move around like a waterfall, while you are using your phone. NagaBee also includes a tempered glass screen protector, covering all the bases.

If we had to pick
It can be tough finding the right case, because you never know whether it’s something you’ll use for years, or if you’ll want to grab another one quickly. But when you end up using the MAIKEZI Brushed TPU Cover, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the combination of protection and design. With the brushed finish on the back, your Nokia 3.2 is less likely to slip out of your hands, but if it does, the TPU material will absorb some of the shock.
If you want to go slimmer than slim, there’s no better option than the SHIWELY Ultra-Thin Case. This measures in at just 0.03mm, so you’ll practically forget that it’s even there. But you’ll be more than happy it is considering that the case wraps around all four corners. Plus, with five colors to choose from and a money-back guarantee, there’s nothing to lose.
