If you want a case that protects your iPhone without turning it into a brick, you have probably come across Totallee, Peel and Sleek Cases. All three focus on slim, minimal cases. They differ in thickness, materials, magnet support, published protection claims, price, warranty and where they are based.
This guide compares Totallee vs Peel vs Sleek Cases using only information the brands publish themselves. Where a detail isn’t published, the table says so instead of guessing.
How we compared these brands
We reviewed Totallee’s and Peel’s iPhone 17 Pro product and collection pages, plus the Sleek Cases homepage and its product listings. We compared thickness, materials, magnet support, published drop-test claims, pricing, warranty, returns and shipping. We didn’t include third-party reviews or hands-on test results. Brands test and describe drops differently, so treat drop ratings as each brand’s own claim rather than a shared standard.

Meet the three brands
Totallee
Totallee sells three iPhone case styles. The Scarf is the thin case at 0.02 in and about 0.2 oz. Totallee says it has a raised lip around the camera but no front lip to protect the screen. The Spy is a clear TPU case at 0.04 in with a slight front lip. The Doberman is the tough option at 0.06 in with a 10 ft drop-test claim. Totallee’s 2-year warranty is the longest of the three brands.
Peel
Peel has the broadest iPhone lineup here. The Super Thin is 0.02 in and Peel is upfront that it offers scratch protection only. For drop protection, Peel points to the Active case (0.06 in, 10 ft) and the Stealth case in woven aramid fiber (0.04 in, 10 ft). The RePeel case uses a backing made from upcycled apple peel waste. Peel also sells cases for Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones.
Sleek Cases
Sleek Cases is a Melbourne-based brand. It says its cases are precision-molded for each model, branding-free, drop-tested and covered by a 1-year warranty. The range is organised into three collections: Ultra Thin Cases, Premium Leather Cases and Carbon Fiber Cases.
Thickness: how thin is thin?
All three brands list a case of about 0.02 in. Totallee’s Scarf and Peel’s Super Thin are both 0.02 in. Sleek Cases says its Ultra-Thin collection runs as slim as 0.02 in. Its listings include a 0.45mm Super Slim Carbon Fiber Pattern Case and a 0.6mm Non-Yellowing Clear Ultra Thin PP Case.
The trade-off is the same everywhere: the thinnest cases give up the most protection. Peel says this directly about its Super Thin case. Sleek Cases notes that its leather and carbon fiber cases are slightly thicker because of their materials.
Protection: what the published claims say
Totallee, Peel and Sleek Cases all describe their cases as everyday protection. Totallee and Peel publish drop heights per style. Totallee lists 3 ft for Scarf, 6 ft for Spy and 10 ft for Doberman. Peel lists 4 ft for Magnetic, 8 ft for Flex and 10 ft for Active and Stealth. Sleek Cases says its cases are drop-tested but doesn’t state a height on its homepage, so check the product page for the case you’re considering.
Because these are brand-run tests, don’t read the numbers as a ranking. Also check screen protection. Totallee says the Scarf has no front lip, and it recommends pairing its cases with a tempered glass screen protector.
MagSafe and magnets
Thin doesn’t have to mean no MagSafe, but built-in magnets differ by model:
- Totallee: says its cases are thin enough not to interfere with MagSafe charging. Only the MagSafe-specific versions include a built-in magnet for accessories.
- Peel: Active, Magnetic and Stealth cases have magnet arrays built in. The original Super Thin and Flex rely on the phone’s own magnets.
- Sleek Cases: says select cases are MagSafe compatible and to check each product page. The Ultra Thin PP Case with N52 Strong Magnet and the Premium Magnetic Leather Shockproof Case are both listed as magnetic.
Materials and finish
Totallee’s Scarf is polypropylene and its Spy is TPU. Peel’s Stealth uses aramid fiber, and its RePeel combines recycled materials with an apple-peel-based vegan leather backing. Sleek Cases offers PP cases, a leather case and a carbon fiber pattern case. The carbon fiber case is named as a pattern, so don’t read it as solid carbon fiber.
If you like the feel of leather, Sleek Cases’ premium leather collection and Peel’s RePeel are the two options we found. If you prefer a matte minimalist look, compare Totallee’s Scarf, Peel’s Super Thin and Sleek Cases’ PP Matte Phone Case.
Price, warranty, returns and shipping
Totallee and Peel list prices in US dollars, mostly $35 to $39 for the iPhone 17 Pro. Peel’s Stealth is $59. Sleek Cases lists prices in Australian dollars, from AUD 54.99 to AUD 99.00 on its six featured cases. Because the currencies differ, it’s hard to compare them directly. Check checkout for your final price, shipping and any duties.
Totallee’s 2-year warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee are the strongest published policies of the three. Peel also offers 30-day returns. Sleek Cases lists a 1-year warranty and 7-day returns. All three offer free shipping on orders over $50. Read the full Sleek Cases return and refund policy and shipping policy before ordering.
Which one should you choose?
There is no single best case here. The right pick depends on what you value most:
- Thinnest possible case: Totallee Scarf, Peel Super Thin and Sleek Cases’ ultra-thin range all start at about 0.02 in. Compare colors, price and policies.
- Published drop ratings by style: Totallee and Peel list drop heights for each case. Peel’s Active and Stealth and Totallee’s Doberman each claim 10 ft.

- Widest device coverage: Peel, which covers iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel.
- Leather or carbon fiber pattern in a slim case: Sleek Cases offers both, as the Premium Magnetic Leather Shockproof Case and the 0.45mm Carbon Fiber Pattern Case.
- Built-in magnets in a thin PP case: consider the Ultra Thin PP Case with N52 Strong Magnet, or Peel’s Magnetic case.
- Clear case that resists yellowing: compare Totallee’s Spy, Peel’s Flex and Sleek Cases’ 0.6mm Non-Yellowing Clear Ultra Thin PP Case.
- Shopping from Australia: Sleek Cases is based in Melbourne and lists prices in AUD. Delivery times depend on your location and shipping method.

Tips for choosing a thin iPhone case
- Decide how much protection you need. If you drop your phone often, look at a thicker style with a published drop rating.
- Check the screen lip. Some thin cases have no raised front edge.
- Confirm magnet support. If you use MagSafe wallets or mounts, pick a case with built-in magnets.
- Match the finish to your habits. Matte, clear, leather and carbon fiber pattern cases each wear differently.
- Read the policies. Warranty length and return windows differ across all three brands.
