I spend many of my waking hours writing about, looking at and contemplating handbags, but when it comes down to it, the accessory that I actually use the most is, without a doubt, my iPhone case. That’s probably true for a lot of people–even when our purses are stowed away in our desks at work or in their usual resting spots at home (the foot of my bed, for me), my iPhone and its case are always within a few feet unless I’m taking a shower. And, if we’re being honest: sometimes even then.
A new generation of iPhone came out a few months ago, and there’s always some lag time between a new phone launch and when brands get their new cases into stores, so we’ve been watching to see when the selection would start to get good. It finally has, just in time for last-minute holiday shopping, which is practically what a cute iPhone case was made for. You know, besides protecting your iPhone.
Below, we’ve selected a bunch of the most aesthetically pleasing options for your new phone or the one you suspect you maybe be getting in a week and a half. They start in the low two figures and span up to the low four figures, and the aesthetics they cover are just as many and varied. Most of the one’s we’re posting are for the 7, but basically all of them are also available in a 7 Plus version from the same retailer.
