With a bigger iPhone comes the need for bigger and better cases.

The international design company, Case-Mate, has already made its name creating fashionable accessories that also protects mobile devices. They've recently released a new portfolio of cases designed for the new iPhone 5 which will feature a mix of luxury, functionality and quality materials.

The influence for the new looks comes from the hyperculture trend that incorporates different prints integrated with unique world styles.

"At Case-Mate, we have a diverse team of engineers and fashion designers that work with artists and companies around the world to design products that are as unique and stylish as they are innovative and protective," said Case-Mate's CEO and Founder Shashi Reddy. "The products we've designed for the iPhone 5 are without a doubt the most fashionable and protective cases we have ever released."

New lines have been developed for the needs of the consumer from being a professional to making a fashion statement. Their Artistry Collection ($50) focuses on sophistication using natural materials such as wood and leather blended with metallic textures. They've also developed a partnership with The Coca-Cola CompanyTM to use recycled PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) called the EKOCYCLE Collection ($35). This is a brand developed by musician and producer will.i.am to inspire and educate consumers.

Many of the collections from Case-Mate will be in U.S. mobile device retail stores and Best Buy.

Another company has also announced new cases available for iPhone 5. Targus has designed a few new cases to fit the individual needs for people looking to get the most out of their devices. They've developed a new Wallet Case ($39.99) which will enable users to conveniently carry their iPhone with the items in their wallet such as credit cards and ID's. There's also a new Slider Case ($34.99) built to protect all sides of the new phone using Compression Fit technology to add security without adding bulk. And for those looking for a sleek and stylish look Targus offers a Slim Fit Case ($24.99) designed with a precision cut True grip for comfort and easy access to buttons and ports.

The accessories will be available at Targus.com as well as through leading retailers, VARs, e-tailers, and direct marketers.

Whether you're looking for sophistication, contemporary designs or want to make a statement, there's an iPhone 5 case suited for your needs.
