If you're tired of having to remove your iPhone from its case every time you need to dock it, the ($35) might be for you. Living up to its name, the case features a panel on its lower back that flips open, allowing you to dock your phone without hassle. Add a rubberized hardshell and a shock-absorbing interior to the mix, and we could have ourselves a winner.

Substrata has a new line of finely crafted wood cases that offer tough protection and a unique, classy look that only real wood can provide. The $75 to $95 are available in Maple, White Oak, Walnut, Mahogany, Padauk, and Wenge; the company also sells $100 to $125 striped-wood models for a little extra flair.
