We're starting the week off with a big punch of color at Pure Mobile with the arrival of some new iPhone 5 accessories. The iSkin Aura carrying case has just hit our shop in a lineup of vivid hues, perfect for the summer season ahead. And we're loving the balance of minimalism and vibrance it's bringing to our favorite Apple device.

With this latest carrying case, it looks like iSkin really worked to design an accessory that could capture the modern elegance of the iPhone 5. Elements of the new iPhone's aesthetic are echoed in the design of the Aura, with a texture and form that complements that of the iPhone 5.

Made of tough Polycarbonate, the thin but strong iSkin Aura sports a luxurious finish of aircraft-grade aluminum, not unlike the backing material on the iPhone 5 itself.

Easy to snap on and off, this top-notch carrying case attaches to the sides of the phone, extending the color on the back to the length of both sides, The top and bottom of the iPhone, however, are left unobstructed, so you get total access to ports and controls.

Because the iSkin Aura is so slim (especially considering how tough it is) it's super portable and pretty lightweight. But its sleek, compact design also means you can easily use your iPhone docking station and other iPhone 5 accessories without actually having to remove the case.

But obviously, one of the things we love most about this lineup of new iPhone 5 accessories is the huge color selection. Available in a fresh spring green, teal blue, candy pink, vibrant orange and of course classic black, there's one to suit almost every taste. So if you're looking for a cool iPhone 5 case this summer, the iSkin Aura will keep your phone protected and beautiful for the season ahead.

Incipio's well known for its huge range of high-quality mobile accessories, but one lineup stands out from the rest for its rugged utility. For their Stanley collection of iPhone 5 cases, Incipio has teamed up with one of the world's best known tool-makers. The result? Some of the toughest, coolest iPhone 5 accessories on the market. And at 30 percent off for a limited time, they're Pure Mobile's deal of the week.

In keeping with ultility and quality of Stanley's professional-grade hand tools, this lineup makes for a collection of jobsite-ready iPhone carrying cases. And with models like the Technician, Dozer, Foreman and Highwire, there's a level of protection for every need.

While the Dozer certainly lives up to its name, with four tough layers of shock- and shatter-resistant protection, the streamlined Foreman is sleek, and portable, ready to go wherever you do.

The utilitarian ruggedness of the Incipio Stanley lineup definitely shows up in the design aesthetic too, with most of these iPhone cases modeled after typical construction tools, in black, yellow and grey. But if you're into a bit of a softer look, you'll be happy to know that these hands-on iPhone accessories also come in a sweet pink, and even crisp modern white.

To be sure, the unique partnership of the Incipio Stanley carrying case lineup makes for some of the most resilient and professional, not to mention cool, iPhone 5 cases on the market. And with our limited time 30 percent discount, Pure Mobile's putting them in the spotlight, which is where they deserve to be.

We at Pure Mobile are pretty excited about the new arrival at our shop of the latest from one of the best iPhone accessories makers. Incipio's DualPro iPhone 5 case has just hit the shelves. And not only is it every bit as tough and protective as the older models for iPhone 4 and 4s, this newest line of Incipio carrying cases comes in a super fun assortment of bright colors.

Incipio DualPro iPhone 5 Case in Grey and Yellow

First off, let's delve into the practical side of things. Incipio's carrying cases are notoriously slim and streamlined considering the level of protection they offer. That's an especially importnat point when it comes to accessories for iPhone 5, since one of the high points of the device itself is its slim and sleek design.

If you want specifics, the carrying case is only one millimetre thick, so it really won't add any bulk to your phone. And though the DualPro isn't quite as light as Incipio's Feather carrying case (it's still light, however), that's only because it's slightly sturdier.

Designed with a shatter-resistant polycarbonate outer layer and shock-absorbing silicone inner layer, the Dual Pro carrying case is notably one of Incipio's toughest and best iPhone 5 accessories.

Now onto looks. Putting the polycarbonate layer on the outside rather than the inside means the DualPro has a sweet matte finish that's soft to the touch and shows up colors in a really nice way. And boy, did Incipio have fun with colors this time.

Whether you're a classic black kind of person or your favorite color is hot pink, you'll find your hue in this bright and colorful lineup of cases. For our part, Pure Mobile's carrying it in purple, pink, and a fun grey and yellow combo that works just as well for guys and girls.

Incipio DualPro iPhone 5 Case in Pink

This is one of those rare times when a carrying case brings together a cool look, reliable protection and sleek design. And we'd definitely rank the DualPro Incipio carrying case among both the coolest and best iPhone 5 accessories.

Warm summer weather probably means you've got a lot less pockets to stash your phone, cash and credit cards. But with Incipio's Stashback iPhone 5 case, you can keep everything together in one place.

This iPhone 5 carrying case doubles as a wallet, with an exterior compartment for cash and cards, so you won't miss your winter jacket's pocket space. We especially like it in hot pink for the summer months.

2: Griffin Reveal iPhone 5 Case

Again, since summer means fewer pockets, you probably want to go with a slim and compact phone case this season. And Griffin's Reveal iPhone 5 case offers a compact "barely there" option that's super portable but also quite protective.

WIth a clear back and bright color options "Pool Blue" it simply screams summer.

3. OtterBox Pursuits 40 Dry Box

Now, onto the waterproof accessories.

If you're planning on doing any water sports or outdoor activities like hiking or camping this summer, an accessory that keeps your phone and valuables dry and safe is a must. More than just an iPhone 5 case, OtterBox's Pursuits 40 dry box actually fits a bunch of other essentials as well, keeping all the important stuff safe in one place.

But it does feature a rubber mesh compartment specifically designed to keep your iPhone 5 (or any other device) securely in place. And it'll protect your phone from all manner of mishaps, like drops, shocks, bumps and, of course, water.

4. LifeProof Fre iPhone 5 waterproof case

If you'd rather just keep your phone dry, and don't need a whole dry box, accessories maker LifeProof has built a name for itself with its signature waterproof accessories. And their Fre iPhone 5 case is among the most reliable in this department.

It doesn't just protect your phone from spills and rain, it actually allows you to totally submerge your phone, which means you can easily take pictures and video underwater. We couldn't think of an accessory that's more suited to poolside summer days.

5. OtterBox Armor iPhone 5 Case

Another waterproof OtterBox iPhone 5 case, the Armor goes beyond protection from water to offer protection from drops, bumps, scratches, shocks and even crushing force.

It's the all-around package, and therefore a great accessory for anyone planning an active summer. We also like the hot shades it comes in, from bright green or blue, to vibrant orange.

Summer's a great time to get out, and you want to make sure you've got an accessory that lets your phone go everywhere with you. And with any one of our top 5 iPhone 5 cases for hot summer days, that should be no problem.

• 5 fun and cool iPhone 5 cases for the young at heart

New iPhone 5S and entry-level iPhone rumored to come in different colors

The biggest story of the week in mobile tech is hands-down the collection of rumors surrounding Apple's upcoming iPhone 5S and cheap, entry-level iPhone. There's no solid proof to support or deny anything yet. But, there's already been talk of possible new colors, a date for unveiling, and even size options, which would of course mean a whole range of fun new gadgets and accessories for iPhone's next incarnations.

The first rumor, that of possible production and unveiling dates comes from a pretty reputable source, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). They reported recently that Apple is planning to begin production of the new iPhone "in the second quarter of this year," or sometime between now and June.

They also allude to the upcoming iPhone 5S as "similar in size and shape to its current one." So maybe Apple isn't going to make you ditch your iPhone 5 cases just yet, as you had to do with the upgrade from the 4s.

Meanwhile, the WSJ says that Apple is still working with parteners in Asia on making a cheaper version of the iPhone, a 4-inch device that "that could be launched as soon as the second half of this year." They also say that the "cheap" iPhone may be available in different colors.

But people are also speculating that the iPhone 5S, as well as the rumored entry-level iPhone, will be available in different colors. Citing Macotakara, 9to5Mac reported that the iPhone 5S could be launching in up to three additional colors, as well as standard black and white.

And though the report from the WSJ left us hopeful that maybe some of our current iPhone 5 cases could convert as accessories for iPhone 5S, a report from BGR says the iPhone 5S will likely be available in at least two, if not three different screen sizes. So we really can't be sure until Apple decides it's time to let the cat out of the bag.

It's not often that you get a great deal on one of the most popular and highest rated accessories for one of the best and newest phones. But this week, the Survivor series, Griffin's leading carrying case for iPhone 5, is on super sale at Pure Mobile.

With an iPhone 5 accessory as high-rated and well-loved as this, it almost seems like an exercise in redundancy to go through a description. But for those who aren't already well acquainted with Griffin's star iPhone case, here goes:

Griffin proudly claims that the Survivor case is the most protective case they've ever built, which, for this company, is saying something. Unapologetically over-engineered, the Survivor for iPhone 5 is built to military specifications, "designed and tested to meet or exceed US Department of Defense Standard 810F."

With a multi-layer construction that combines shatter-proof polycarbonate with shock-absorbing silicone, the Survivor case has been tested to withstand rain, vibrations, blown sand and dust, and even a 6-foot drop onto concrete.

But this carrying case serves just as well for everyday life as it does in military-grade tests, and handy features, like a multi-position clip make it a practical and functional civilian favorite.

And with a wide variety of colors to choose from (our sale includes models in basic black or grey, as well as color combos with red, blue, green and more), there's a stylish option for almost every taste.

And right now, we've got the Griffin Survivor for iPhone 5 priced around the $20 mark, which is probably just about the best deal you can get on an iPhone 5 accessory with this level of design and quality.

Moshi's iGlaze Kameleon Case for iPhone 5 Case

In our mobile accessory of the week feature, we often review gadgets with all the bells and whistles, tons of features and an epic specs list. But this week, we chose our featured accessory because of its simplicity. Sleek and streamlined, Moshi's iGlaze Kameleon carrying case for iPhone 5 is almost futuristic in its minimalism.

Sometimes, less is more. And that's the case with this elegant accessory. Of course, Moshi's well known for its highly functional iPhone cases, and here again they've managed to make a protective case that's up to the job without ever looking over-designed.

Created with the media devourer in mind, the main feature of the iGlaze Kameleon case is its sleek aluminum kickstand, which allows for easy video and photo viewing without adding much bulk or weight to your phone.

You can use the integrated kickstand in either portrait or landscape mode, so whatever the media, you can get the perfect view, without the kickstand obstructing any controls.

Another high point for this carrying case is obviously its style. With a designer vegan leather backing overlaid on a tough polycarbonate frame, it looks like something out of a high-end interior design shop. And never has protecting your iPhone from bumps, shocks and scratches looked so elegant or sophisticated as in this sleek, modern accessory.

Especially considering that the iPhone 5 is one of the most beautiful, albeit minimalistic, phones on the market right now, we have to hand it to Moshi for designing a case that's so in tune with the newest iPhone's look.

As far as its suave, contemporary look, uncomplicated and easy to use kickstand and overall well thought out design, we'd rank the iGlaze Kameleon case as one of the best iPhone 5 accessories out there.

Moshi's new iGlaze Armour Cases for iPhone 5 comes in lustrous metallic finishes

When it comes to cell phone accessories, Moshi is one of the best. And that's especially true in respect to their collection of iPhone 5 cases, which seems to be growing on a weekly basis. Their speciality is in combining sleek and compact designs with a style that borders on runway-worthy. In fact, the company describes itself as a "purveyor of electronics fashion," rather than simply a maker of carrying cases and covers.

It's no surprise then that the latest Moshi iPhone 5 case is just as elegant (some would even say beautiful) as the rest of their accessories. A continuation of their popular iGlaze case series, the iGlaze Armour is a brilliant and lustrous iPhone 5 case with a sleek and rich-looking metallic finish.

Available in either Silver, a gold-like Bronze, or a shiny jet Black, the iGlaze Armour combines a polycarbonate frame with a diamond-cut aluminum backplate, so you get strength at the core and a seriously sexy metallic outer.

We at Pure Mobile are already carrying the Bronze version, and we hope we're not going too far in saying that it's so stunning and so elegant that, in the flesh, it's actually reminiscent of a gold brick.

It's a sophisticated, and more importantly, a practical choice for your iPhone 5. Glamorous for women, and sophisticated for men, it reminds us of something either James Bond or Marilyn Monroe could carry around.

Again, Moshi has proved itself not only one of the best, but possibly the most fashion-conscious of cell phone accessories makers, as the iGlaze Armour iPhone 5 Case goes beyond mere protection and practicality with an elevated and endlessly elegant appeal.

Your iPhone's just another tool, right? Well, with their line of Stanley cases for iPhone 5, Incipio has taken that pretty literally. The cell phone accessories maker has paired with tool manufacturer Stanley for this collection of tough, professional-grade carrying cases and covers designed to for the jobsite.

We've reviewed a lot of cell phone accessories in the past, but this is the first time we've ever seen a line of cases specifically geared for some of the toughest trades out there.

New at Pure Mobile, the Stanley line will certainly look at home next to the rest of your tools, with models in classic construction colors like black and yellow (though they're also available in more subtle tones like black and grey, or even black and pink, for the ladies.)

Incipio's Stanley Foreman case for iPhone 5 in Black and Yellow

And whatever your job throws at you, there's a Stanley case that can handle it. Models like  Dozer are extra-rugged, with a plextonium under-layer, shock-absorbing silicone outer, and screen protector. The Dozer even goes so far as to provide camera and button protectors that can be closed to keep dust and dirt out.

But different tasks require different levels of protection. And while models like the Highwire, Technician, and Foreman also use a combination of plextonium and either silicone or NGP in their multi-layer construction, each is tailor-made to suit the task at hand.

For a sleeker, slimmer look that's still up to par, we'd recommend the Foreman. While it's impact resistant, with a plextonium bumper and easy-to-grip silicone core, it's got a bit of a lower profile than styles like the Highwire or Dozer, which really do look like something you'd hang from your toolbelt.

But whatever the style for you, Incipio's Stanley line is definitely at the top of a very short list of iPhone 5 accessories we'd actually trust at a construction site.

Incipio's Xgo iPhone 5 case, unveiled at CES, is waterproof up to 25 feet. Image courtesy of 9to5Mac.

Move over Liferpoof, there's a new waterproof iPhone 5 case in town. 9to5Mac reported on a new, seriously rugged case from Incipio, unveiled yesterday at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

The award-winning cell phone accessories maker's latest is the xGO, a rough-and-tumble iPhone 5 case that's waterproof up to 25 feet, and which the company has branded as an "action sports equipped case solution," ideal for the adventurous type.

The xGO blends a plextonium frame with a silicone core and sports a tempered glass screen, so that your iPhone isn't just protected underwater, but maintains full functionality as well.

Meanwhile, the case's mounting system allows you to "effortlessly mount the case to backpacks, bicycles, surfboards," and comes with a bunch of cool screw-in lenses for your phone's camera, like wide angle, fish eye, macro and zoom.

This latest Incipio iPhone case "provides our active enthusiast with the ability to protect their mobile device and take it with them on all their adventures,” said Incipio Chief Executive Andy Fathollahi in a statement. It's a solution that "changes the way you use your iPhone 5," the company says.

If you're a rugged, sporty or outdoorsy type and can't wait to get your hands on one, the xGO will start rolling out next month in a number of colors, and will be available along with add-ons like attachments, hardware, nylon hand straps and more.
