Best Tough Cases
Our tough cases are the backbone of the Belvia London collection. Dual-layer construction (TPU inner + polycarbonate outer), raised screen and camera bezels, and high-definition wraparound prints that don't fade. At £25 each with free UK delivery, they're our most protective option.
Coastal Cool
Ocean blues meet laid-back sophistication. Coastal Cool is one of our most versatile designs — it works year-round despite its beachy origins. The soft colour palette means it rarely clashes with anything, and the organic wave patterns have a calming quality that makes it genuinely pleasant to hold.

Best Wavy Cases
The wavy range is where texture meets colour. These shockproof cases feature a distinctive rippled edge profile that feels gorgeous in the hand and gives your phone a sculptural, contemporary look. Available in matte and glossy finishes, both at £16.
Mocha Matte Wavy
The Mocha Matte Wavy is having a moment. Rich, warm brown with a velvety matte finish — it looks like it costs three times its £16 price tag. The matte texture also means it resists fingerprints brilliantly, which is a genuine daily-use advantage.
Ivory White Glossy Wavy
If you prefer a cleaner, more polished look, the Ivory White Glossy Wavy is impeccable. The high-shine finish catches the light beautifully, and the ivory tone is warm enough to avoid looking clinical. It pairs with absolutely everything.
Best Heart Cases
Our ripple heart cases combine a 3D textured heart pattern across the entire back with a flexible, shockproof construction. They're tactile, eye-catching, and impossibly photogenic.
Burgundy Ripple Heart
Deep, moody, and undeniably stylish. The Burgundy Ripple Heart feels autumnal and sophisticated — think rich wines, velvet textures, and cosy evenings. The raised heart pattern adds genuine tactile interest and doubles as extra grip.
Lilac Ripple Heart
The softer counterpart. Lilac Ripple Heart is gentle, feminine, and perfect for spring and summer styling. The pastel purple sits beautifully against the iPhone 16 Pro Max's titanium edges.
Best Luxe Cases
Pearls & Bows 3D
This is a proper statement case. The Pearls & Bows 3D features raised 3D pearl and bow embellishments that give it a jewellery-like quality. It's the kind of case that makes people ask where you got it. At £16, it's an absolute steal for the level of detail involved.
Purple Diamond Bling
For those who believe more is more. The Purple Diamond Bling is unapologetically sparkly — faceted diamond-effect stones in rich purple catch light from every angle. It's bold, it's glamorous, and it's completely in line with the maximalist accessories trend dominating 2026. Want to see more in this colour family? Read burgundy-look phone cases for 2026.
Best MagSafe Cases
Lilac & Clear Wavy Edge MagSafe
The Lilac & Clear MagSafe Wavy Edge combines a tinted clear back with lilac-coloured wavy edges for a look that's both modern and playful. Built-in MagSafe magnets mean your charger snaps on perfectly every time, and the clear back lets your iPhone's original colour show through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which case type offers the most protection?
Our tough cases provide the highest level of protection thanks to their dual-layer TPU and polycarbonate construction. The wavy, ripple heart, and MagSafe cases are all shockproof, but the tough cases have the edge for serious drop protection.
Are all cases compatible with wireless charging?
Yes. Every case in the Belvia London range is compatible with Qi wireless charging. The MagSafe wavy edge cases have built-in magnets for a perfect MagSafe connection; all other cases work with MagSafe chargers but without the magnetic snap.
What's the difference between wavy matte and wavy glossy?
Both share the same shockproof wavy-edge design. The matte finish has a soft, velvety texture that resists fingerprints. The glossy finish has a smooth, high-shine surface that catches the light. It comes down to personal preference — understated or eye-catching.
Can I return or exchange if I change my mind?
We want you to love your case. If it's not quite right, get in touch with our team and we'll help sort things out. Full details are on our returns page.
Do you have cases for the standard iPhone 16 or 16 Pro?
Our current collection focuses on the iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Air. Check the full collection for the latest availability.
