I want to buy iPhone XR for for my niece, for her 12 birthday. What case would you recommend for a child? should I be looking for something that in indestructible? or just a girly case will do?

for now I'm considering this Spigen Tough Armor case

Why do people buy these kinds of expensive items for kids? I just cannot fathom why.

If possible, suggest letting her pick out the case. If you are near an Apple Store, they could also put on a screen protector, which I recommend for kids and adults.

For one of our daughter, we took her to an Apple Store and let her pick out an iPhone 7, case, and screen protector. That way she could see the colors in person and decide.

For my kids I’ve been happy with the Otterbox Commuter cases and a screen protector. Protective but not bulky. If you’re getting a pretty color (love the coral!) maybe something clear?

And I can’t fathom why some people care what other people do.

Otterbox Commuter is a good idea. I thought it is kind of bulky, but maybe I'm thinking of anther Otterbox case.

The Defender is super bulky. Symmetry is fairly slim. I’d put it between the two. It’s about the same thickness as a Speck Candy Shell.
