Today we’ll be looking at a very popular type of case – iPhone 5 covers made of silicone. This material is so well liked in cases because it is soft and flexible, making it easy to install and hold on to, while still providing good protection against scratches and minor impacts. Silicone is also a relatively cheaper material to manufacture, leading to some good low-cost options. Let’s have a look at five of the best silicone cases available for the iPhone 5.
5. 10-in-1 Silicone Case Pack for the iPhone 5
This case pack includes 10 differently coloured silicone cases, all of which fit the iPhone 5. This really lets you accessorise your phone as you wish – you can pick a case to match your mood or your outfit easily with so many colour options available. The cases are all lightweight and thin, making the most of the iPhone 5’s slim silhouette. The cases offer moderate protection against common damage dealing elements, including scratches, scuffs and minor impacts. The case pack is great to buy for yourself, but can also work well if you buy it for a group – everyone can have a few colours!
4. Otterbox Defender Series for iPhone 5
The Otterbox isn’t wholly made of silicone, but still deserves a spot on this list for its vaunted protective properties. The Defender uses a tri-layer design to protect your iPhone 5 to the fullest, with a thermal-formed screen protector element, an inner silicone core and a strong polycarbonate shell to finish it all off. This gives you a good mix of protection for all parts of the phone and many different kinds of damage, including scratches, scuffs and fairly major impacts.
3. Teddy Bear Silicone Case for iPhone 5
This iPhone 5 case is in the shape of Japanese bear character Rilakkuma and adds a friendly face to your phone. The Teddy Bear case is made of silicone and adds a considerable amount of protection around the phone due to the thickness of the case. This means that it’ll be a little harder to fit into your pocket or purse, but it also means that it’ll resist damage much better too. The Teddy Bear case is well crafted and is a cute addition for your iPhone 5.
This clever silicone case for Incipio grants your phone impressive protection thanks to its combination of a silicone core with a metallic silver hard shell. That means you should see excellent protection against a wide range of potential hazards, and the inclusion of a free screen protector in the package means that your phone’s screen will be well covered too. One really nice feature of the case is that the front edges of the phone are protected with a thick lip, which will prevent damage to the phone’s screen even if it’s dropped screen-first onto a flat surface.
1. Case-Mate Waddler Penguin for iPhone 5
This adorable case is in the shape of a penguin. Need I say any more? Well, suffice it to say, the case is made of textured silicone and smooth plastic, making for a beautiful abstract penguin design that will impress as easily as it protects. The case is made just for the iPhone 5 and fits perfectly, with cutouts wherever necessary for the ports, camera and buttons. The case even includes a penguin feet keychain that really completes the look – a beautiful case that made me happy as soon as I saw it.
