iPHONE

phone safe

from all

kinds of

falls. The

Commuter

case is a

classic one

that strikes

a balance

between

the bulky

and rugged

Defender

and a less-

than-protective silicone case. It offers

two-layer protection that firmly locks

into place while leaving cut-outs for

the speaker, a cover for the Lightning

port, and nice clickable buttons.

And it looks good too, with two-tone

colour accents and a classy black rim

around the camera.

VENA VCOMMUTE

Price: £21 from fave.co/3hc1mVH

Colour: Blue, grey, rose gold.

MagSafe charging: No.

Why we love it: It’s one thing for a

case to protect the phone, but it’s

another to have it double as a stand

or a wallet. The Vena vCommute

case does both. A nifty accordion

drawer on the back hides up to three

credit cards and can also be folded

into a mini stand for watching movies.

The extra functionality adds a bit

of bulk to the case, but its tapered

design gives it a semi-slim feel. The

somewhat recessed buttons look

good and have a good click to them,

while the mute switch is easy to

access. And the metallic accents

make the case look professional

and sophisticated.

GRIP2Ü SLIM

Price: £33 from fave.co/3plUA2y

Colour: Black, red, gold, silver, clear.

MagSafe charging: No.
