Beat the norm with these iPhone cases

By Bradley Wicks   |  

Since its inception in 2007, the Apple iPhone has dominated the smartphone market. So much so that it is now suggested that an average of 395 iPhones are purchased every minute around the world. This creates a conundrum: In an era when we are likely to share the same mobile phone as the majority of the people we brush shoulders with, how are we supposed to be unique?

To help you solve this issue, LLM has compiled a list of iPhone cases that promise to give your handset a little personality.

For the businessman/woman

From the fashion-conscious folks at Tech21 comes a range of iPhone cases that are as stylish as they are protective. The Evo Check case features a minimalistic black and grey pattern that moulds itself to your handset. Its sleek, professional appearance means its perfect for the office, while its protective elements mean your phone stays safe for your lunchtime workout.

For a hand-crafted finish

The Vintage Wallet Collection by UK-based brand Snakehive refuses to compromise on build quality. Each case is handcrafted in Europe and promises to meet only the highest standards. The soft suede texture of these exquisite cases is created using a top grain Nubuck leather to produce a velvet-like surface that doubles as the perfect material for durability and protection.

For the clumsy caller 

It’s okay; we’ve all dropped our beloved handset at some point. Nobody’s judging you or your clumsy butter fingers. But if you still feel conscious then GEAR4 has the solution. Its Piccadilly phone case features the world’s first Metallic D30 technology, allowing it to perfectly match your iPhone’s natural colour while providing impact protection that even the US military trusts.

For a touch of luxury

Handmade from the very same leather that Bentley uses to upholster its high-end cars, the Park Row collection by luxury leather accessory designer Greenwich is available only in the iconic Knightsbridge-based store of Harrods. The range consists of folio cases in beluga black and saddle brown, as well as a very special Alcantara suede case.

Prices start from £125 at www.harrods.com.

For the perfectionist

Named after the traditional curved sword of the legendary Japanese samurai, the Katana by Element Case is a true piece of art. The limited edition case is precision machined and hand polished to create a high-end product that is completely free of imperfections. The case does require some assembly and is not easily snapped on and off of your handset: the front needs to be secured to the G10 chassis with eight stainless steel screws, which are included alongside a hex key.
