Cygnett Polygon, UrbanShield, & WorkMate iPhone 5 cases hands-on

Now that we’ve gotten our dose of the iPhone 5 by putting it through the paces and pitting it against some of its other highly-esteemed rivals, we can now take a quick look at some cool cases for Apple’s latest-generation iPhone.

For those iPhone 5 owners that held back from buying a case for their beloved device, we’re taking a look at three specific ones from Cygnett, so you can decide for yourself if it’s worth the investment. Not only do they target a wide array of consumers, both sleek and rugged type of cases, but they’re priced competitively to not drain your wallet completely.

So with that folks, we’re checking out three Cygnett iPhone 5 cases – the Polygon, UrbanShield, and WorkMate cases to be exact. Ranging from $19 to $25 in price, it’s undoubtedly very easy on the pockets, but at the same time, they’re packaged along with screen protectors as well to keep the snazzy and new 4-inch Retina Display of the iPhone 5 protected too.

1. Polygon

With the Cygnett Polygon iPhone 5 case, it stands out for its unique polygon patterns that shift depending on the angle you look at it. Indeed, it’s a neat optical illusion and all, but this translucent case doesn’t add too much bulk to the handset’s existing svelte frame. Additionally, it’s priced modestly at only $18.99.

2. UrbanShield

If you prefer something a bit more premium, the Cygnett UrbanShield iPhone 5 case will suit you because it’s a bit more sturdy with its constructions – thanks to its brushed aluminum rear casing. Of course, it’ll perfectly complement the iPhone 5’s existing premium construction and all – plus, it’s form fitting as well to maintain its skinny size. Taking into account its more premium taste, the UrbanShield is priced at $24.99

3. WorkMate

Being chic is one thing, but if you truly desire protection beyond anything else, then the Cygnett WorkMate iPhone 5 case is going to be the one for you. Why’s that you ask? Well, it’s more rugged than the other two cases by providing an impact resistant inner component with a sturdy plastic skeleton. So if you accidentally drop your iPhone 5, you won’t have to worry about it being damaged with this one. Oh yeah, this one is only $25!

4. Screen-protectors are included with the purchase

Obviously, you’ll get some protection by putting on any of these Cygnett cases on your iPhone 5. Thankfully though, they’re also kind enough to throw in screen protectors with the purchase, which is pretty sweet considering it’s not a common practice amongst case makers. Therefore, that new Retina Display on the iPhone 5 will also be protected somewhat from minor scratches.
