XtremeMac Tuffwrap Shift for iPhone 4S
A case that changes colors when heat touches it. Clever! But really, it's just a gimmick for the easily amused, and the color change is actually subtle. What protects your phone is the form-fitting plastic, which provides protection from dust, dirt and scratches. It's a little tough to get on because of how stiff it is, but that means that it'll stay on and really keep the bad stuff out. (3/5 | $29.99)

XtremeMac Microshield Layers
If you're really afraid of getting your new iPhone into a scuffle, protect it with not one, but two layers of plastic. The first layer is soft rubber and over it is a hard plastic shell. You can also choose from a hard under-layer. And each of the cases can be worn alone. Either way, you're basically getting three cases for the price of one. (3.5/5 | $39.99)

iPhone Wallet
Protect your iPhone 4S and your money with this zip-up phone wallet from Waterfield designs. The wallet is made out of genuine letter and the inside is lined with fabric. There's also a cloth-lined, hard flap inside that separates your phone and your money, and your credit cards and the like are actually hidden behind all of that when it's inside.

The iPhone 4S can still be used while it's inside the wallet, though it doesn't really work for phone calls unless you have a headset plugged in. It does, however, work with Siri, so if you need her to plan an appointment you can tell her to do so without taking your phone out of the wallet. Still, having to take your phone out of a pouch is too inconvenient. (3/5 | $39)

Incase Lounge Case
The Lounge Case is really just a hard plastic shell that seats the iPad 2, with a beanbag attached at the back. It's soft and furry, and therefore safe for little tikes who have a beloved iPad of their own. You can orient the iPad 2 either vertically or horizontally without any issue, and if you wanted to type the beanbag squishes down to a comfortable angle.

For kids and the cuddly types who love to curl up with their favorite blanket and HBO Go on their iPad (see also: every night in my house), the Incase Lounge Case is really fun. If the iPad in your household is usually just a couch dweller, this case could be exactly what you're looking for. (4/5 | $59.95)
