10 stylish phone cases from Perch, Lilly Pulitzer, Spigen and more
When looking for a tech-related gift for the holiday, we highly suggest a unique phone case. Why? They're a great way to flex one's personal style and distinguish their iPhone from everyone else's. Phone cases —if made well— protect the phone from breaking when dropped. But they also allow for versatility in style, being interchangeable.
While the sales representatives at your local wireless provider will push their expensive in-store options, we have some good news. Better phone cases await just outside those doors. Designers, digital accessory stores and even leather goods brands have gone into the phone case business— making options for everyone.
