If you turn out to be the lucky winner of our Samsung Galaxy SIII draw, then you’ll probably want a cover to keep your lovely smartphone safe.
Check out the best and worst smartphone covers floating around the ‘net. Would you use any of them?
This unique smartphone cover screams “intellectual”. Designed to look like the binding on a vintage book, the Bookbook cover creates an interesting cross between old-fashioned, and cutting-edge. It also doubles as a card-holder, with space for your I.D. and credit cards. This cover will fit smartphones of a similar size to the iPhone.
If you want a cover that will stand out in the crowd, perhaps this will tempt you? The delicious silicone cover combines two of many peoples’ greatest loves: chocolate and iPhones. It is designed for the iPhone 3G and 3GS.
3. Custom steampunk iPhone case
This beautiful iPhone cover is not one you can buy. It was created by an artist called Catbones, using a leather Belkin iPhone case, clockwork parts, paint, and a lot of imagination. It gives the appearance of an old, dirty piece of machinery, in the fashion called ‘Steampunk’.
For anyone feeling nostalgic for the 80’s, this is the perfect smartphone cover for you. The cover mimics the style of the first mobile phones to hit the market. Perhaps a bit smaller than something you’d actually remember from the 80’s, this retro-cover is an eye-catching classic.
In a more artistic direction, this lightweight smartphone cover will bring out the culture in anyone. The iconic painting of the Mona Lisa peers out from beneath a torn paper covering; her enigmatic smile directed at whoever happens to stare at you while you’re on the phone.
This one tops the list of ‘most bizarre’ smartphone covers ever. And no, it’s not really called the ‘Lonely-Souls’ cover, but it certainly looks like it should! If you are asking why such a thing exists, this is what the product website has to say: “you could hold hands with your iPhone to make sure you don’t drop it. Or if you are feeling really lonely, this case may reach out to you and give you company.”
On the other hand, I think I’ll stick to the first 5 cases, thanks.
