This week’s roundup of new iPhone cases features something for every budget, from basic shells to handy wallets, and even some battery options perfect for holiday travel.
Apple has finally joined the battery case game! The Smart Battery (iPhone 6s; $99) integrates a battery status notification on your iPhone’s lock screen that keeps you up to date with how much juice your case has left.
The case sports a microfiber lining, features a soft elastomer hinge for easy installation, and comes in charcoal gray or white. You’ll just have to ignore the hump.
If you’re looking for a compact wallet solution, the Q Card (iPhone 6/6s and 6 Plus/6s Plus; $40) is a durable hard shell case with room in the back for up to three credit cards or photo IDs.
The case includes press-through button overlays, a lay-flat screen guard, and a soft, pocket-friendly rubber finish. The Q Card comes in black onyx, champagne gold, pacific green, gunmetal gray, or red rouge.
Perfect for days when you don’t need your entire pocketbook or wallet, the CardNinja (all iPhone models; $10 to $12) holds up to eight cards while protecting the back of your iPhone.
Available in a variety of colors and styles, the CardNinja features a spandex fabric that stretches to offer maximum storage, and can be quickly installed thanks to its sturdy adhesive backing. Alternatively, stick the CardNinja on the back of your favorite iPhone case to give it extra oomph.
For budget shoppers, the Case (iPhone 6 and 6s; $1.49) covers your iPhone in a stylish patterned motif—and at a price that’s hard to beat!
Made with flexible TPU, the case prevents scratches and nicks from accidental bumps, and features a precise cutout for your camera. Plus, you know, it’s only a buck.
The Surfr Amp (iPhone 6/6s; $100) sports a powerful 3,000mAh battery built into a slim frame to keep you going all day long.

Own a Tesla? This one is for you. The Tesla Case (iPhone 6/6s and 6/6s Plus; $50) uses the leftover Nappa grain leather from the manufacturing of their car seats to make handsome, matching iPhone cases.
The case has been designed to block RFID snooping, and sports two slots in the back where you can store up to four credit cards.
Crafted with aluminum and wood, the Swarovski Series (iPhone 6/6s and 6 Plus6s Plus; $196) features three luxurious Swarovski crystals carefully positioned to achieve a beautiful design.
