Marware's Sidewinder case for the iPhone is the Swiss Army knife of cases. First of all it’s a low-profile holster. The reversible-mounting holster lets you carry the iPhone face out for visibility or face in for maximum protection.

We're big fans of OtterBox, ever since their laptop case survived Vincent driving over it back in 2006, and so it's great to see that they're planning to extend their rugged line to the iPhone. So far only concept renderings exist, but as is typical for the company it's not something that blends into the background!

"I go back to black" sang Amy Winehouse, and it's pretty much the same way in the electronics world: fashions for champagne, silver and chrome may come and go, but we always end up back with slick black tech. Now reflection-hating iPhone owners (I'm thinking vampires and the grotesque) can throw away the shiny rear cover of their precious handset and replace it with an OEM black metal version.

Vincent has reviewed a case from DLO's range before, and come away impressed, so it's good to see the company is broadening its options if you like the idea of keeping your iPhone on your belt.

Among the options are XtremeMac's new range of wraps and cases for the handset, using tough materials like neoprene, silicone and ...

Accessory manufacturers are ramping up a gear, and the number of iPhone cases available is growing. Next up is a sheath and holster combo from Case-mate's Signature Line range, the case is made of Italian leather with an impact resistant moulded shell inside. It might not stop a bullet, but it will probably keep your phone safe from being dropped onto a particularly spiky bush.
