25 Cool Cases for the Most Popular Mobile Devices

Who says our mobile devices have to look bland with simple, solid-colored cases? Give them personality representing your favorite things or enhance your mobile device with special features. No longer do you have to sacrifice a cool design to have a case that does what you want. For me, I like a case that is grippy so I don’t have to worry about it slipping out of my hands. And the second requirement is that it needs to be a good protector not a wimpy one.

For years, I had a yellow and black Otterbox. It served me well. The bright yellow made it easy to spot even if it’s not one of my favorite colors. Although it provided peace of mind about potential impacts, it was bulky. The next time I got a new phone, I found a colorful Speck Candyshell Grip case with slick lines providing the grip and strong enough to protect the phone from drops. It isn’t as strong as the Otterbox in terms of security. But it’s pretty darn good.

Speaking of Speck, they’re coming out with Pocket VR with CandyShell Grip to give you the virtual reality experience. It’s not available yet, but might be worth watching if you like VR.

Every phone has its unique features. So most cases are phone-specific. I searched many sites for the coolest cases for the most popular mobile devices. If you find a case you like, it’s possible the company may have one available for your phone model. Visit the website to see their full selection of designs and models they support.
