So last week unless you live under a rock you might have noticed Apple announced 3 shiny new phones in the shape of the iPhone XS (£764), iPhone XS Max (£840) & iPhone Xr (£573). Now with smartphones being expensive and these no different. If you invest in one of the three new iPhones you are going to want to keep it safe.
Here are the latest and best cases on the market most brands do have others in the range but we picked our favourites and it would be great to hear from you about what you bought following this roundup:
Mous Limetless 2.0 Case www.mous.co
The Limitless iPhone cases offer military-grade protection. The cases use AiroShock, a smart material capable of absorbing tremendous impact while ensuring the cases are still slim. The unique patent-pending process involves injecting the material with micro-crystals that turn into micro air pockets at high temperatures. The air inside these micro air pockets acts as tiny springs, significantly dampening the impact of falls. This in combination with the unique material blend provides a cushion to the cases, absorbing impact from a fall, so that your phone remains safe. Not just built for resisting destruction, however, the cases are also aesthetically very stylish using natural materials such as wood, real leather, carbon fibre and real shell in their range.
Available from £29.99
Altra: Altra is a slim hardshell case with a wrist strap that brings unique style and functionality to the new iPhone. Designed for today’s active lifestyle, the removable wrist strap allows the user to go hands-free for sleek convenience when carrying coffee, boxes, toddlers, pets, etc. It also provides added security when taking photos or walking in crowded spaces. Altra is military-grade drop test certified and features a raised bezel to protect the phone’s screen when laid flat. Compatible with wireless charging, Altra is the ideal case for those seeking stylish functionality and protection in one.
Altra is available for iPhone XR and XS Max in Shadow Black, Blossom Pink, Mint Green and Savanna Beige and retails from £39.95 from www.moshi.com
Vesta: Inspired by the boutiques in “Le Marais” in Paris, Moshi’s Vesta for iPhone is styled with a textured back and metallized frame. It features military-grade drop protection and a raised bezel to protect the touchscreen when laid flat. Vesta’s TriClear¢ coating resists water, dirt, and scratches to ensure the case retains its lustre over time.
Vesta is available for iPhone XR and XS Max in Pebble Gray, Emerald Green and Macaron Pink and retails from £34.95 from www.moshi.com

Delight in the sumptuous feel of the finest European leather and relish in the array of colours on offer from Greenwich’s AW18 collection. Moulded to seamlessly fit Apple’s latest handset, each Greenwich case is lined with a carbon fibre plating – strong enough to stop a shotgun getting through – providing the ultimate protection from breakage. The built-in cardholder on the inside adds an element of functionality to these gorgeous cases.
Ted Baker’s brand new collection of tech accessories for the Apple’s latest handsets: the XS, XS Max and XR. Encompassing Ted’s iconic florals and rose gold trims, the collection blends Ted’s faultless tailoring and flawless style created using Proporta’s 20 years-of excellence and expertise in crafting mobile accessories. In pursuit of the perfect floral, Ted journeyed through Amazonian jungles, Florentine villas and Lakeland countryside to find the globe’s most glorious gardens, inspiring his AW18 fashion and tech collections.
Ted’s well-loved folio makes a return with its trusty range of functional features, such as a handy internal mirror. Offsetting each print is Ted’s metallic branding plates, intricate embossing and signature rose-gold trims – showing off Ted’s eye for the delicate details.
Ted Baker’s AW18 PHASE 2 starts at £34.95 and will be available at www.proporta.co.uk.
Proporta’s Opus Plus Available £39.95 from www.proporta.co.uk
Proporta’s Opus Plus offers a sophisticated upgrade of the British brand’s signature case design. Now with a distinctive grey fabric cover, the Opus Plus has been lined with a carbon-fibre plate for optimal protection.
