If you’re now one of the lucky people to have a shiny new iPhone 6, you’re going to want to protect it from anything and everything, seeing as those babies don’t come cheap, and they’re not smash-proof (or bend-proof, by the looks of things)!
We gave you a taste of some of the iPhone 6 cases on the market, when Apple announced the launch of the new phone, but now that it’s actually available to buy, there are so many more cases available.
While there’s tons of rugged military-drop proof cases available, there’s also loads of cases that are going to make your iPhone 6 stand out from the crowd too, so, we’ve picked 11 of our favourites for you to choose from.
1) Best for loyalists: Apple Leather
Of course, Apple has made official cases for the iPhone 6, and, unlike the iPhone 5c ones, they’re actually really nice, but they are still quite pricey. There are leather and silicone cases available to protect your iPhone 6 without adding any extra bulk, but we much prefer the leather ones, as they look so much more luxurious.
This soft pink colour is our favourite, as it’s really feminine without being all garish and in-your-face girly, but there’s other colours to choose from, like Midnight Blue and Olive Brown.
Get yours from the Apple website for £35.
2) Best for trendsetters: Native Union Clic Wooden
These cases are so good-looking and unique. Inspired by the latest trend in the furniture industry, each case has either walnut or cherry hardwood alongside a splash of colour, and simply ‘clics’ on to your iPhone 6.
Native Union founder, John Brunner said: ‘With the latest CLIC Wooden, we wanted to compliment and individualise the design of the latest iPhone 6 with an elegant and protective case. It is made for those who appreciate Apple’s design and attention to detail, but need to protect their device without compromising on quality and style.’
There are six colours to choose from, but our favourite is the Blossom and Walnut Wood one, seen above.
Get yours from the here for around £34.99.
3) Best for customisation: Otterbox Commuter
While the Otterbox Commuter case does the same job as most other cases, by protecting your phone from damage, this one keeps it slim and also comes with a stick-on screen protector to help block scratches and smudges on your touchscreen.
What we really love about this case though, is the fact that you can customise it, by choosing from 30 different colour combinations. You can also upgrade the case to include a nifty little hidden wallet drawer to stash your cards and cash.
Get yours from Otterbox for $39.90.
4) Best for the fashionista: Knomo Leather Folio
This lovely leather folio case is designed to safely protect your 4.7″ iPhone 6. The iPhone snaps into place and the phone can be used with the cover open or closed. There’s also a leather slip pocket to hold your cards and cash.
With a choice of five colours, we couldn’t decide which was our favourite, as they all look and feel so luxurious.
Get yours from Knomo for £35.
5) Best for the accident-prone: Urban Armour Gear Valkyrie
This snap-on case is not only impact resistant to military drop-test standards, it’s also feather-light, so doesn’t add any extra bulk in your pocket! It comes with a screen protector guard, preventing stratches, and doesn’t add any glare to your flash photos, so you won’t have to compromise if you’re an avid iPhone photographer.
The case itself has scratch-resistant skid pads too, so you shouldn’t be at too much risk of damaging the actual case if you drop your phone either.
Get yours from Urban Armour Gear for $34.95.

6) Best for looking pretty but tough: Griffin Survivor Core
The main issue with rugged cases is the fact that they do look bulky and can make your shiny iPhone 6 looks pretty ugly, but this Survivor Core case comes in pretty colours, is transparent enough that it still shows off your phone, and still gives your phone protection from two metre drops.
The snap-on case has shock-absorbing crumple zones and a shatter-resistant back, protecting the edges of your screen from chips and scratches too.
Get yours from Griffin for $29.99.
