I don’t know about you, but as soon as I got my iPhone I had a priority to get the best (best meaning the most fab, trendy and designer-worthy) case for it. Of course, I just stopped at Nordstrom to pick up a polka-dot Kate Spade case, but there are other options. Here are a few cases you need to know about whether you own the newest iPhone 5 or any of the other versions.
