iPhone Cases

ZAGG's new iPhone 5 case made of real wood is now available for purchase. The fashionable case is made from environmentally friendly materials that are fused with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) so it won't crack or peel. The case is a great way to celebrate Earth Day while guarding your iPhone from damage. The Natural Wood Case from ZAGG is available in six different patterns and designs.

ZAGG has been protecting smartphones since it launched its first invisibleSHIELD screen protector in early 2005. The Natural Wood Case for the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S 4 is sold through ZAGG's subsidiary iFrogz, which was created in 2006. You can order the real wood iPhone 5 case via ZAGG.com/ifrogz.

Marvel fans will love this new Iron Man Mark VII iPhone 5 case from accessory maker Brando. The limited edition case transforms your iPhone into the ultimate Iron Man replica with its battery-powered LED arc reactor, and movable shoulder camera cover.

The Mark VII armor shell is a protective back case which allows you to access your display and Home button. Brando doesn't specify what type of materials it's made from, so it's unknown if the case actually provides any protection from bumps or falls. However, this is mostly a novelty purchase anyway.

Have you ever wanted to take a picture with your iPhone without someone knowing, but was too afraid to do so? Well now you can, thanks to the MirrorCase for the iPhone 4 and 4S. The case utilizes a mirror so you can shoot images while holding your phone horizontally, making it less obvious that you're invading someone's privacy. The MirrorCase isn't just a stealthy way to snap photos, it also protects your iPhone with its plastic shell and rubber bumpers.

The MirrorCase sounds like a great idea for those rare People of Walmart opportunities, but adding its awkward bulk to your iPhone doesn't seem worth it to me. I guess there could be some practical uses for the MirrorCase, but I'm not sure what. The MirrorCase just sounds like a creep's dream come true, and an easier way for people to snap up skirt pictures.
