Versus has designed the Pebble case to look and feel like Apple's Magic Mouse. The smooth rounded backplate adds a nice dimension to the phone and makes for a comfortable grip. The backplate also pops off and allows storage for two credit cards.

For those familiar with Qi products, you'll know that Incipio makes devices that allow wireless charging. Many Android devices are compatible with Qi charging, but with the Ghost Qi case, you can wirelessly charge your iPhone too.

The Volt Pack can be charged up to give your phone an additional 150 percent battery life. It also has an indicator LED to show you how much juice is left in your case, and can be recharged via a microUSB cable. Besides battery life, the Volt pack also comes with two frames for you to mix and match. The case can be pre-ordered now, and at $50 it's reasonably priced.

The InkCase i6 gives your phone a second screen. The case has clear plastic boarders, that protects your phone's sides, and on the back it has a monochromatic screen that resembles the likes of a Kindle. The screen connects to your phone via Bluetooth and displays push notifications, without your needing to unlock your phone. All you need to do is quickly glance at the back of your phone, and you wont miss any important information. Now available for pre-order.
Lifeproof05iphonecases-6
Although it's currently in development, the Nüüd for iPhone 6s promises to be a remarkable case. Like other Lifeproof cases, the Nüüd is dirtproof, waterproof, and dropproof, but unlike those other cases, this one won't have the thin film protecting the screen so 3D touch is accessible.

Case? What case? If you think there's something missing from this photo, that's sort of the point. It's a super-thin casing for your new iPhone. Since it's a tight-fitting cover, the slightly different dimensions mean you'll want this upgrade if you've fallen for Peel's incredibly discreet and durable covers.
