Did you just get your hands on that huge iPhone 6 or 6 plus? Chances are you're probably now on the hunt for the perfect case. The cellphone accessory market has been on the rise ever since Apple first released the iPhone, opening the gates for retailers to sell everything from portable chargers, headphones and protective and fashionable cases.

While some people use their iPhone cases as a fashion statement, others want something purely functional. And after spending a pretty penny on a new smartphone, the last thing you want is it breaking after it slips out of your hand— or in the case of the 6 Plus, hands.
