There are few things worse than accidentally dropping, smashing, or submerging your iPhone and having to confront the smug expression of your local Genius as they tell you exactly how much a repair or replacement will be. Avoid that eventuality with these tough, rugged cases that should protect your phone from damage and you from despair, whether you’re going out in the drizzle or starting basic training.

Not everything has to be big and bulky to to provide protection. Spigen's latest case for iPhone 5 and 5S is heavy-duty without weighing you down. It's made from premium polycarbonate and hardwearing polyurethane so you can be as clumsy as you like without worrying about cracks.

It's also a snip at £14.99 from Amazon.
