The Best iPhone 5c Cases
Past iPhones haven't been big on color. Apple's latest smartphone, the iPhone 5c, seems to have borrowed some iPod DNA. With a plastic build and five color choices including blue, green, pink, white, and yellow, the 16GB model is $99 with a two-year contract, half the price of the high-end 16GB iPhone 5s.
With the flagship 5s, you get a solid aluminum build, the first 64-bit phone CPU, Apple's A7, with motion coprocessor, the new Touch ID fingerprint sensor, which lets you lock your phone and make purchases with your fingertip, and an improved camera with a larger image sensor and aperture, bigger pixels, and a dual LED flash.
The 5c, on the other hand, packs last year's A6 processor, and the same 8-megapixel camera found in the iPhone 5. In fact, besides the new build, the 5c shares all the features of the iPhone 5. Aside from a few minor enhancements to the battery and the front-facing camera, the only difference is that both new iPhones ship with iOS 7, Apple's completely revamped mobile operating system.
Though the new 5c has a plastic build and lacks the upgrades of the 5s, the phone is sure to find an audience given its lower price and fun, colorful design. As with every new iPhone, third-party accessory manufacturers are scrambling to be first to market with new cases. The 5c was just released, but we're already seeing a variety of new designs ranging from super-thin fashion statements to bulked-up, ruggedized tanks that will keep your phone protected no matter how badly you abuse it.
We see new cases every day, so we'll update this list frequently. For now, check out some of the coolest cases you can get for your new iPhone 5c. Have a case you like that we missed? Let us know in the comments below.

Apple's new iPhone 5c may have a colorful outer shell, but it's pointless if your case covers it up. Apple's new iPhone 5c cases take advantage of the iPhone 5c's colorful plastic casing, with circular cutouts that let the hue shine through. The cases are constructed of silicone and lined with microfiber and are available in the same shades as the 5c itself, plus black, for a multitude of possible color combos

$24.99MSRP
Clear cases are often made of slippery plastic. The Belkin Grip Sheer Mattedoes its best to let the 5c's color shine through while protecting it from slippage and light abuse. The matte-finish case is flexible and won't slide away from you. It's available in a smoky stone gray or plain old transparent.
Belkin View

A clear case with a bumper for protection is an ideal complement to Apple's colorful iPhone. Belkin's Viewhas a clear plastic back to show off the 5c's color and a wrap-around bumper to keep it safe from drops. It's similar to Apple's bumper case for the iPhone 4/4s, but with an extra layer of plastic protection. You can get the case with a black, purple, or topaz bumper.
