Chances are you take your iPhone everywhere. If you’re the adventurous type that means putting it in situations where it could get dinged, dropped, bumped, kicked, scratched or splashed.
We found 10 cases for the Apple handset that offer such protection, ranging from peace of mind anti-bump options to military grade belt-and-braces coverings.
Take a look through our gallery of “grrrrr” for some tough options. Let us know in the comments about any rugged iPhone cases you’ve tried and tested.
