Top 5 iPhone 5 / 5S cases for October 2014

The iPhone 6 may be released, but if you don’t fancy a bigger phone then the iPhone 5S remains one of the best on the market. In this article, we’ll show you five of the best cases to have been released lately for the iPhone 5 and 5S.

5. Bling My Thing Infinity Dots – Brown / WhiteBlack / Red

Bling My Thing are well known for their slim plastic cases studded with Swarovski Elements, but recently they’ve expanded their range. One promising new case is the Infinity Dots case, which sets a grid of minute Swarovski Elements against a beautiful leather backdrop. The design here is top-notch, from the high quality Napa leather to the elegant threads and crystals on the front cover and useful internal pockets for cash and credit. This classy iPhone 5S case is available in brown / white and black / red colourways.

4. Snapz Interchangeable Band Case – Polar WhiteCosmos BlackJupiter RedAfrican VioletMonaco Blue

Now this case is cool. The Snapz case comes with 10 interchangeable silicone bands, letting you change the look of your case to suit your mood. This works particularly nicely with the black and white varieties of the case, while the other options provide more clashing combinations. The bands also serve a practical purpose, as you can use them as a strap to stop your phone from falling from your hands or attach your phone to nearby objects for hands-free operation. It’s a cool case idea that I haven’t seen before, and it’s well worth a look.

3. Griffin Survivor Slim Tough Case – Black

The Griffin Survivor is one of the very best protective cases for the iPhone 5S, and this new Slim version further refines that ideal. The Survivor Slim is made to US and UK military standards, with a tough silicone jacket and rigid polycarbonate shell teaming up to protect your iPhone. The case includes an ultra-responsive iPhone 5S screen protector, which is a nice bonus.

2. Uunique Heritage Wood & Linen Hard Shell Case – BrownBlackWhitePink

This Uunique case lives up to its name with a novel wood and linen construction. The Heritage Series includes a number of awesome designs, but this split wood and linen combination is my favourite. The case is practical too, with an integrated viewing stand and a flip cover to protect your screen.

1. Otterbox Resurgence Power Case – GlacierBlack

Our final case comes from Otterbox and is called the Resurgence. It combines the protective design of Otterbox’s traditional iPhone cases with an integrated battery. That means you’ll get almost double the battery life, just by putting on this case. The extra battery life is ideal for long nights or weekends out, and quickly becomes worth the extra weight. The case also includes some nice extras like a front-facing LED battery display and auto-stop charging tech. It’s a great package that is one of the very best cases on the market for the iPhone 5 and 5S.
