The Week in iPhone Cases: Time, extended

Time, extended

This week’s iPhone-case roundup is all about power and pockets, with a few accessories that protect your phone while giving its battery life a boost, and others that give you additional carrying options when you want to travel light.

Adopted

The Forged (iPhone 5 and 5s; $50) uses four different materials to provide the ultimate protection: The metal trim is pressure-fused to a high-gloss hardshell, which is joined with a rubber interior lining and special button protectors. The combination keeps your handset safe from all sides and gives it a unique, high-class look.

The case comes in white/gold, brown/copper, aqua/silver, green/silver, or black/silver.

Findables

The FlexWrap (iPhone 5 and 5s; $30) features an ultra-light, impact-resistant, polycarbonate outer shell, along with a soft inner liner that helps cushion your handset during bumps and falls. There’s also a raised front lip to protect your screen from accidents.
