Finding a good iPhone case

There is no denying the fact that finding the perfect iPhone case (or even just a good one) for you is a difficult task. Some people may disagree with these views, but they seriously underestimate the beauty and incredible design of the iPhone, and that it’s a status symbol for everything cool and stylish. And like I said, decorating such a beauty is no easy task.
The iPhone possesses an iconic design — amazingly visual user interface combined with the contemplative physical design — which begs to be adorned by only the right kinds of cases, highlighting and complementing its amazing design. But like any other phone, it is not exempted from everyday accidents and damages. And that is why the first course of action adopted by iPhone users after purchase of their phones is to look for a protective case. Since our entire lives are in these devices we hold (so to speak), protecting them from damage is a given. And thus, here our struggle begins!
A large majority of people only concern themselves with finding a case that only protects their iPhone, regardless of its looks and that is why (quite frankly) we see people with bulky and ugly-looking cases on their phones. These individuals could care less about how their iPhone looks, as long as the cases prevent them from shattering or breaking beyond repair. I admit, creating a barrier between your beloved device and common accidents is quite essential but, to some, the need for those cases to be stylish and good-looking is quite strong.
The demand for iPhone cases has increased exponentially, and now there are so many places where you can buy them both online and in stores. But, despite this increase in numbers and types of cases available, some people still find it hard to acquire a good iPhone case. For these style conscious individuals some cases are way too plain for their taste, while others are just too damn flashy and overdone. And most often, if they do spot an ideal looking case its turns out to be nothing but a mere skin for an iPhone that does absolutely nothing to protect it. And likewise, any good protective case won’t have that style that goes perfect with your device. This infuriates many iPhone users, who either give up the trying to find the ideal case (one that goes heavenly with that unique and iconic iPhone design) or just buy a case that they don’t particularly find that attractive but will have to do. Thus most people just go with supposedly plan B and purchase a plain iPhone case, spending all the time giving it looks of disdain and disappointment. (Poor cases, I sort of feel bad for them)
For young kids and teenagers, there is an almost limitless supply of colorful, vibrant,glittering and fan-based cases to choose from that will completely satisfy their needs. But for people like us, this conundrum shall carry on as it is rare for someone to find that good-enough case.
