So, you go and buy yourself a stylish iPhone and then discover that the only protective covers out there are made of a very unstylish plastic or rubber. You have to protect the screen of your gadget, but so you want to look like a business executive in the process. No? I didn’t think so. Well, you are in luck, because some of the funkiest, most revered designers out there now have trendy, sexy little numbers available in store so that you don’t have to play the corporate game.

Let’s start at the top. When Apple came out with a stunning new design last year, so did Louis Vuitton. Their iPhone and iPod cases are the perfect complimentary accessory for your Louis Vuitton bag. They come in the classic LV logo on canvas for £100* or the slightly more expensive alligator case coming in at a cool £500*. Your case might cost more than the iPhone itself, but at least you won’t be left shamefaced with a less than trendy case.

For the girly fashionista, why not try Juicy Couture’s version. As you might of guessed, it’s totally pink, with a gold chain and lock and key charm made of leather and gold. It’ slightly cheaper than Louis Vuitton’s version – a snip at £35*.

For a bespoke case, why not check out Vajacases. This company make luxury, leather items to your specification, and come highly recommended as fantastic iPhone cover designers. It’s only for serious contenders though, with a waiting time of 40 days and a price starting at £100*, individuality doesn’t come cheap (but it’ll be well worth it when the person next to you doesn’t have the exact same cover).

And finally, if you want to go green, you could always try Australian label, Working Class Heroes, who have designed a case made from 100% wool and aniline leather. The most reasonable of all at £30*.

So, there’s no excuse not to be stylish, if you can afford an iPhone, then you can certainly afford to look cool while carrying it!
