![The best protective cases for Apple Watch S7](https://cdn.magzter.com/1384979531/1653379573/articles/PrncWKduJ1653458168435/The-best-protective-cases-for-Apple-Watch-S7.jpg)
Of all the Apple devices out there, one could argue that the Apple Watch is the most susceptible to damage. That's not surprising given that you wear one nearly all day, every day, and because of its location it's likely to come into contact with surfaces- more so if you are either a bit clumsy, or you do a lot of physical work.
So, if you want to avoid scratches (or worse) to the screen or case, getting a protective case for your Apple Watch is a no-brainer really. Here, we've got four of the best specifically for the Series 7, for both screen sizes. It's worth nothing that the majority of the products are a case with integrated strap, replacing your current strap.
Spigen Rugged Armor Pro
Features Suitable for 44/45mm sizes (works with Series 4, 5, 6, 7, and SE), raised bezels, shock-absorbent layer
Spigen's protective case is the least expensive on test, though it looks and feels like a quality product. Attaching the Apple Watch inside the case is easy - just push it in from underneath and it pops into place. The thermoplastic polyurethane is substantial, and offers protection all the way around with raised bezels to keep the screen safe. Our only gripe is that the raised section above the digital crown makes operating the dial tricky.
That aside, there's lots to like. It's comfortable to wear and has the most traditional watch feel here. There's plenty of adjustability in the strap to get a good fit, whatever your wrist size, a decent metal clasp, and a chunky housing to slot the strap into. The case is available in lots of great colors to suit, including Military Green, Black, and Charcoal Gray.
