What's the best iPhone 5 case? The ultimate roundup for every taste and style.

One of the biggest questions we get here at Cool Mom Tech: What's the best iPhone 5 case? Of course, our response always depends on what you're looking for, whether it's style, protection, or a little bit of both. 

So here I rounded-up 20 different iPhone 5 cases to help you find the one that's right for you. Or maybe there's more than one right for you." I like to think of covers as accessories; you don't need to limit yourself to just one.

Bold Design
If you treat cases like accessories, then you'll love these bright, funky options. The best part is, you don't have to spend $100 on a designer iPhone case to make a statement (and yes, there are $100 iPhone cases).

Eco-Friendly iPhone 5 Cases
If you're conscious of your carbon footprint and want to be a little more earth friendly with your case, then these are great options for you because of the way they're made--or the way they'll be unmade when they've outlived their use.

Flexible iPhone 5 Cases
These flexible cases will keep your iPhone 5 safe without a hard case. While style is definitely secondary to the functionality, we still think they're all pretty cool looking.
