Yes, they were really made just to protect your phone when you drop it, but stylish iPhone cases have become a huge trend in the past few years. The cute ones are usually the least protective, but as long as it looks good who cares, right?

If you’re a college student and you have a school ID, the best case to get is one that has a pocket for your Stag Card. There are millions out there but my favorite is this one by Kate Spade.

I know I’m not the only one who feels like I am always charging my phone. It can be such a drag struggling to find an outlet. That’s why the Mophie case is super popular. Not only does it charge your phone, but it’s also available in fun colors so it doesn’t look bland and boring.

If you’re the kind of person that hates carrying a million different things- your phone, money, credit cards, and ID- the Michael Kors wallet clutch case was made for you. It conveniently combines a wallet and a phone case in a sleek and fashionable way.

This case doesn’t have any fun gadgets that make life more convenient, but it is extremely cute and very “in” right now. Tortoise shell is never a bad option.

If you’re somebody who is prone to dropping their phone and you absolutely need a protective case, OtterBox is your best friend. But, instead of sticking to the classic ones that everybody has, get it monogrammed and make it twenty times more chic.
