If you just emptied your piggybank to buy a new iPhone, you may not have a lot left over. But more than ever, you need to protect that investment. Fortunately, X-Doria has a lot of reasonably priced options with its Ultra, Shield and Lux line of iPhone Cases (starting at $29.99). I've used them with previous phones and had complements.
All of the cases offer serious protection from 10- to-12-feet drops, depending on the model. What sets them apart from other protective iPhone cases is the rugged but lightweight aluminum bumper and the cases' acoustic channel redirection. I've always been disappointed that Apple directs sound down instead of toward the user. The X-Doria cases "bend" the sound toward the user (light waves don't bend but sound waves do, which is why we can hear around corners but can't see around corners!)
The X-Doria models are available in numerous color choices with multiple materials, including carbon fiber styling and leather.
