So continuing on our hunt for the coolest iPhone cases out there, here are a few more options to add to our existing list.

So far we looked at Leather iPhone cases, Functional phone cases and Fashion phone cases.

Photo Phone Cases:
This concept allows your to personalize your beloved smartphone. Any photo (up to a maximum of 14 MG) or image can be uploaded in high resolution onto the phone case. 14 MG is super high quality, normal iPhone photos are 2 MG and look great. The team @ InspireMyCase seems to have a cool online portal and makes it nice and easy to upload your own favorite happy snaps.

Battery Phone Cases:
We have all been there. Charged your smartphone all night then at 6pm your battery dies as you have been using Google Maps and some of your other apps all day. The guys @ Phonesuit have a great battery case that looks cool too.

Big Brand iPhone Case:
All the big fashion brands are doing it these days – some successfully, some not so successfully. Marc Jacobs is one such company whom has a wide range of protective and fashionable cases to protect the beloved smartphone.

There you have it. 6 phone cases styles reviewed to make life a little easier when your buying a new protective phone case for your smartphone.

Look familiar??
We have all been there!

1. iPhone and Samsung smartphones are fragile and one little slip of the hand results in a smashed screen.
2. Some smartphone cases are seriously cool, different or allow you to express yourself and stand out from the crowd.

So here are some cool iPhone case suggestions when your thinking about protecting your new baby.

Leather iPhone Cases:
There are so many high end expensive options if this is what you are looking for. Pipetto London do a really nice looking case.

Functional Smartphone Cases:
Again, similar to leather there is a whole smorgasbord of brands providing different functions. My personal favourite is from Openacase – a case that not only protects your mobile phone but also doubles as a bottle opener. Cool idea, super useful.

Fashion Phone Cases:

Here are just 3 options to start with.  We will take a look at another 3 styles next week.

What type of iPhone case best suits you?

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs iphone 5

According to Apple…the answer is a definite no!

After Samsung revealed the new Galaxy S4, Apple published a webpage explaining why the iPhone 5 is better than smartphones from its rivals. Apples headline states, “There’s iPhone. And then there’s everything else.”

The Samsung Galaxy S4 may have powerful new features like an octa-core processor, full HD display, Android 4.2 OS, but Apple still believes its iPhone 5 is the best on the market. Apple justifies this with claims such as:

- iPhone has received eight J.D. Power & Associates awards for customer satisfaction
- Every detail has been considered
- Only iPhone has retina display
- Great battery life. Without a great big battery
- A powerful but not hungry A6 chip
- Ultrafast wireless and LTE
- The worlds most popular camera
- Millions of ways to be entertained
- iOS6. Worlds most advanced operating system
- Siri

There are a lot of bold claims in here and Apple might just be right. Only time will tell whether the new Samsung S4 will be an iPhone killer. Even if it ends up being a better quality phone I don’t think Samsung has the same brand presence, device integration and loyal following as Apple…yet. But watch out Apple your rivals are catching up!

Hi there, we’re Steve and Andrew and we think plain cases are a bit of a bore, so we created InspireMyCase.com to enable people to add a little bit of personality, fun or style to their cases.

We’re also passionate about giving back, so 20% of our profits go directly to purchasing sports, art and music equipment to help inspire underprivileged kids. We partner with AngelMule who use travellers to deliver the equipment to children’s organizations around the world.

To give you a little more insight into us we thought we’d share our own personal phone cases with you below. (andy’s on the left, steve’s on the right)

We hope if you buy a case you’ll love it as much as we love ours and feel all warm and fuzzy with the knowledge you’re also helping inspire kids in need.
