Cases

An unlicensed Batman spinner case with a metal spinner that lifts the plastic, a nice touch overall.

A crowdfunded smart case with a rear display that he showed as a prototype, without a clear verdict.

A ridiculous but impressive scratch-and-sniff fruit case that gets strong reactions from people.

An extremely resistant case that floats, resists drops and prevents overheating, though the battery claim is the company's.

A LEGO-style case that is fun and colourful but neither comfortable nor very protective.

His favourite of the five: a seamless physical keyboard case that is a novelty at first but satisfying to use.

He is not a fan of the full case version because it looks unappealing and adds bulk.

A well thought-out stick-on phone wallet with a 26-in-1 tool kit that suits modern flagships better than the full case version.

His all-time favourite multi-tool case, with tools he would actually use and a built-in kickstand.

A halfway-house case with decent drop protection, but it feels plasticky and covers the buttons.

His favourite of the three cases, very light and form-fitting.

A big, bulky, two-layer durable case that he personally doesn't prefer.
