Protect That Phone!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Rhodes chapter.

Your iPhone is your best friend and your inseparable companion. To keep your companion safe, you have got to protect it with a case. Whether it is to make a statement or just to protect your phone from scratches, dents and the pesky broken glass screens, buying a case along with your phone is a must. Here are some iPhone cases in a variety of price ranges!

  1. LifeProof: “I’m the third iPhone she’s gone through  and I need to protect my bad self up as much as possible!!”
    LifeProof claims to be water proof, dirt proof, snow proof, shock proof and to top it all off, drop proof. If you’re an on-the-go, active lifestyle type of girl, think about investing in a LifeProof case. Or, if you’re an utter klutz like myself who falls, runs into things on a daily, hourly basis, this might be good for you. It tends to be on the expensive side, but with the cost of buying a new iPhone should your phone break, investing in a good case may be a good idea after all! ($79.99 – $89.99 at http://www.lifeproof.com/shop/…)
  2. Otterbox: “I get dropped a lot but hey, no dings!”
    Otterbox is probably the best known brand of iPhone cases out there – and for good reason. These cases are durable and although they aren’t as inclusive as LifeProof, this case will protect your phone when you’re accidently dropping your phone all over the place. They’re sturdy and great thing: they come in “Series” which lets you choose a case based on how much protection you need for your phone. Plus, it comes in a wide variety of colors and designs so find one that screams you! ($24.95 – $99.95 [Depends on what Series you get] at http://www.otterbox.com)
  3. Speck: “I’m loud and proud! I love my colors and I can brighten your day!”
    Speck cases are probably more for those who really want a bright color to their phones. Speck cases are sleek and come in a variety of fun color combinations that will make your phone pop! Not to mention, they are pretty sturdy as well and will give your phone that good protection. May I have one in every color? ($29.95 – $44.95 at http://www.speckproducts.com/)
  4. elago: “I’m eco-friendly. And I’m cute.”
    You may or may not heard of elago cases but these are cases that are know to have eco-friendly retail packaging. With simple, attractive, colorful and affordable cases, elago has been a hit for me. I’m patiently waiting for my new elago case in the mail because I can easily slide that case on and be ready to go. ($24.99 – $25.99 at http://elagostore.com/)
