Six cases to keep your iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in pristine condition

Naked no more!

Compared to the iPhone 5S, the iPhone 6’s larger and thinner proportions makes it tougher for some to keep a grip on their new toy. And did we mention #Bendgate? But fret not, as there's never a lack of cases for the iPhone ecosystem. Here are the top picks:-

 

Urban Armor Gear iPhone 6/ 6 Plus Case

Urban Armor Gear (or UAG for short) features military-inspired rugged design that comprises a hard outer shell and a soft impact-resistant core. Their cases also come with corner bumpers that provide protection from scratches regardless of whether your device is laying face up or down. All UAG products also meet military drop-test standards.

Price: US$34.95 (iPhone 6) / US$39.95 (iPhone 6 Plus)

 

Lunatik Taktik 360 for iPhone 6

One of the toughest cases ever, the Lunatik Taktik 360 provides protection against drops and shocks. But that’s not all - the airtight compression closure system also provides enhanced protection from water and dust (it's after all IP68 certified). The audio and charging ports can be sealed, so your iPhone can stay underwater for up to an hour, which is longer than what you will last. The case is only available for the iPhone 6 though, and is only expected to ship in the first quarter of 2015.

Price: $124.95

 

Griffin Survivor All-Terrain for iPhone 6/ 6 Plus

The Griffin Survivor All-Terrain meets the standards published in the US Department of Defense MIL- STD- 810G, and provides protection against the elements. The secret is in its foam-lined shatter-resistant polycarbonate frame that’s covered in shock-absorbing silicone. All buttons and ports are also sealed, so you can be sure nothing gets in.

Price: US$49.99 (iPhone 6) / US$59.99 (iPhone 6 Plus)


 

Grovemade Walnut and Leather Case for iPhone 6/ 6 Plus

Maybe you aren't a fan of plastic or silicon. The Grovemade case might be up your alley with its frame that's crafted from Oregon Claro Walnut and a cover that's made from premium vegetable-tanned leather. It can even double up as a stand and has laser-cut power and volume buttons.

Price: US$129

 

Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal for iPhone 6/ 6 Plus

You don't need your case to be bombproof, but you sure don't want it to look like a monkey's bottom. The Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal case is a classy case that's made of an aluminum frame and anti-stretch TPU, with aluminum buttons that have a protective suede layer so your phone will come into direct contact with the metal buttons.

Price: US$34.99 (both iPhone 6/ 6 Plus)

 

 

Tech21 Classic Check case for iPhone 6/ 6 Plus

The Tech21 case offers slim looks and crazy protection with its slim-fitting shell that's lined with D3O material, which is scientifically proven to absorb shocks.  When D3O materials are met with impact, the molecules inside will lock together to absorb and disperse energy, so it can protect your phone from the most devastating, albeit unintentional, drops.

Price: €29.99 (iPhone 6) / €34.99 (iPhone 6 Plus)
