This week’s roundup of new iPhone cases brings you at least one that will make you look fabulous, no matter where you are.
The Selector (iPhone 5 and 5s; $80) is made with a combination of real crystals and leather accents, with a unique interlocking build that gives your handset extra protection.
The case comes in gold, black, or champagne.
The EXO18 (iPhone 5 and 5s; $400) is handmade from a phenolic-resin composite bonded with real Pau Ferro veneer and capped with Ti6Al4V Titanium.
The case can be engraved to order for an additional charge.
The Edge Pro (iPhone 5 and 5s; $35) is built using advanced proprietary materials that offer superior protection, with a two-piece design that makes installation—quite literally—a snap.
The case is available in grey/yellow, black, white/pink, grey/violet, or grey/blue.
The Orion (iPhone 5 and 5s; $90) is made from real leather, with a convenient front flap that keeps your handset safe while not in use and doubles as a viewing stand in landscape orientation.
The case comes in black, brown, red, tan, or white.
The MiaCase (iPhone 5 and 5s; $30) combines protection with fashion by incorporating a discrete compartment in which you can stash away your makeup essentials.
The case is available in black, white, or gold.
The Alano (iPhone 4, 4s, 5, and 5s; $100) is a wallet-style case made from top-grain leather that protects your handset and provides you, depending on the model you choose, with either three or four card slots.
The case comes in six different variants, with a magnetic fram—in black or white—that holds your iPhone securely in place.
If you’ve ever found yourself in a hotel room only to realize that you left your beloved Lightning cable, or charger, back home, you’ll appreciate the genius behind the Prong (iPhone 5 and 5s; $65), a case that incorporates both an external battery and a built-in charger.
The battery doubles your handset’s longevity, while the case—which comes in black, white, pink/white, or blue/grey—plugs directly into a regular wall outlet and requires no extra cables or adaptors to work.
The DualTek XT Extreme Terrain (iPhone 5 and 5s; $50) is dustproof and water-resistant, with extra padding where it matters to keep your handset safe during active use.
The case includes a convenient hand strap and comes in blue/black or grey black.
The Amped (iPhone 5 and 5s; $45) features a unique sound-channelling technology that helps enhance your handset’s audio without the need for external power or third-party amplifier.
The case comes in black, red, or blue.
