Hi Mike,
I agree with the case recommendations of Eleanor and Jackie.
I would like to mention 3 criteria which I think are essential in a good iPhone
case.
1. Screen Protection - It is very important to have screen protection in
addition to a film type screen protector. Something more substantial is
required to provide ultimate protection.
2. Complete enclosure - I think that the back, all side, top and bottom of the
device need to be enclosed. This is provided with the case recommended, but is
also present in most other cases.
3. Raised Bezel - This is the surround of the cases opening which is raised so
that when the phone is laid on its front, the screen doesn’t touch the surface
at all. The raised bezel creates a space between the phone’s screen, and any
surface it may be laid upon.
The case recommended meets all of the criteria mentioned, but I thought it may
be helpful to point out the above information as you could then evaluate other
cases.
Personally, I have found leather wallet style cases to be very good, and they
also usually meet the above criteria.
However, you need to make sure the closing latch on wallet cases is
substantial, some are loose and allow the wallet to open un-expectedly.
Kind regards,
Niall

I recommend the OtterBox Defender cases. I have one on my iPhone 6, and it
really is very protective. It does make the phone a bit bulky, but I would
rather that than do any more damage as I unfortunately had a mishap earlier
this year where the phone had to be replaced, and could have done with the
OtterBox at that time!!
You can get OtterBox Defender cases from Amazon, roughly ｣20.
Kind regards,

Subject: [access-uk] iPhone case recommendations
Hello folks,
I have done what I once swore I'd never do and bought a second-hand
iPhone 5s. Didn't get on with my Android Sony Experia.
It currently has no case. Does anybody have any recommendations for a
case for an iPhone 5s which will afford the greatest protection from
drops, carrying around in pockets etc? No Miffy or Hello Kitty jibes
please :com)
Mike
