Sleek good looks aside, the Classic Snap Case (right and below) from Casetify (www.casetify.com) has a shockabsorbing outer shell, making it ideal for klutzy phone users. Those looking for extra protection (up to roughly 1.2m drops onto concrete) and who don’t mind a slightly bulkier frame can opt for the New Standard Case (far right), which has a soft, impact-absorbing interior, a hard-shell exterior and a raised bezel around the screen that prevents dreaded cracks in your screen should you suddenly develop butter fingers.

The Defender Series cases from Otterbox (www.otterbox.asia) have a rugged aesthetic, but we love them anyway for the protection they afford. These Terminators of phone cases boast a three-layer protection – an impact-absorbing outer layer, a solid plastic shell and a built-in screen protector (on iPhone cases, this covers even the Touch ID button, ensuring that the entire phone is dust- and grime-free) – that withstood more than 200 hours of rigorous testing.
