32 Geek-Chic Smartphone Sheaths

These Nerdy iPhone Cases are Essential for the Tech-Savvy Scholar

— January 7, 2013 — Tech
A smartphone case can be one of the defining characteristics of your personality and these nerdy iPhone cases put your geek-chic style front and center. Many of the designs you'll find offer multiple functions including Swiss Army accessories or built-in chargers to keep your phone ready to go.

Others are based on pop culture references like Gangnam Style or Star Wars that make for not only cute cases, but also conversation pieces when you show them off to your friends. What's important to note about these smartphone sheaths is that while they do look great and offer interesting features, they'll still protect your phone from bumps and scraps during your daily routine.

Additionally, there are a few selections that will make everyday tasks easier with built-in keyboards or headphone-wrapping toggles.
