Your smartphone is your lifeline and most treasured tech device. It it worthy of a case that keeps it safe, but still shows it off. Phone cases are a must-have accessory — created by tech and fashion designers alike — and luckily there are some stylish options out there for the choosing. Whether you’re more focused on the practical functions, the artistic element or the air of luxury, there is a case for you. Here is a list of the most chic and sleek cases of 2016.

Wallet Cases

For nights out on the town, less is more. Accessorize your phone with a case that can double as your wallet. The Kate Spade New York Cedar Street iPhone 7 Plus folio case keeps your cell phone protected and clean, and also has two card slots and one ID window. The black and white leather design is sophisticated, and the pink leather interior is flirty and fun. For Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone users, consider the tech21 Evo wallet case, which offers a stylish, yet sturdy shell made of shock-absorbing material. The case is slim and light, and has a credit card slot for easy access. The premium materials and the color selection, blush pink or black, make it a simplistic and easy-to-carry option.

Protective Cases

Spigen Tough Armor offers solid protection with a sleek look. It can attractively cover your smartphone with its soft TPU cover and tough polycarbonate exterior. The case comes in a variety of colors and has a kickstand for media viewing. Otterbox is the well-known case that has earned the reputation for its protective qualities, as it can seemingly withstand anything. Otterbox has recently come out with the Symmetry Series Graphics Case, which includes the protection they’re known for, but in some fun patterns. The graphics are simple and chic: stripes, polka dots and florals, using classic colors like navy, gold, pink, black and white.

Artistic Cases

Choose a case that shows off your artistic side, whether it’s quirky and fun or thoughtfully creative. Society6 has hundreds of cases you can choose from, which includes designs from some of the hippest artists. You can choose a texture like marble, an oil-canvas-inspired print or an illustration for your case design. The options are endless. Another artsy case vendor is Rifle Paper and Co. This company is known for its stationary, but now their brilliant prints have now been transferred onto phone cases. The case designs include the Rifle’s signature, intricate and sweet floral designs, however you also have the option of detailed cityscapes, elegant birds or graphic illustrations.

When choosing an artistic case, it is worth considering how the design will work with the accessories you use every day. Patterns with neutral tones can provide visual interest without being difficult to coordinate, while a durable finish helps the design remain practical for regular use.

For readers looking for a more current take on the marble texture mentioned above, luxury marble phone cases offer a distinctive way to bring a stone-inspired finish to an everyday accessory.

Luxury Cases

Nothing says luxury like Italian leather. Smartphone cases and covers made by British luxury leather company Smythson are made from premium lamb leather, which makes it a great material for the contemporary lines of the design. Smythson also creates phone purses, so you have a safe space for your phone, wallet and make up. Fashion designer Stella McCartney offers a select line of smartphone cases that have edgy and cheeky designs. Her Crystal Eye, black panther case is clever and cute; the case is in the shape of the panther’s head and its gem eyes give it that extra touch of luxe.
