If you are now the proud owner of the iPhone 6s, the latest iteration of Apple's flagship smartphone, you'll most probably want a case to protect it. Whether you're just looking for something to act as a buffer against the bumps and scrapes of daily life, or if you're planning to take your phone off-road, we've compiled a round-up of the best cases - in terms of strength, looks and price.

The iPhone 6s is a fraction of a millimetre bigger than it's predeccessor, the iPhone 6, so cases for the older model will still fit the newer version. We've therefore included some proven favourites, as well as new designs released specifically to coincide with the launch of the 6s.

Fashion brand Ted Baker makes a range of glamorous cases, including this one in a pinky metallic faux leather with rose gold edging. After the perfect selfie? The screen protector doubles up as a mirror, so you can touch-up before taking a snap.
