It’s the new age, and cellphones have figuratively become an extension of our arms. We check to see that we haven’t forgotten them – over our keys and wallets – before leaving the house. We use them to take pictures, send emails, FaceTime, order food, gaze into the lives of the rich and famous, look up numbers (phonebooks, what are those?), bank, hail cabs … in fact, what don’t we use our phones for? We have become so reliant on these little pieces of techno-utility we can’t imagine life without them. And yet, we still accidently drop them on the floor, chuck them at the wall when they don’t behave and lose them (or, heaven forbid, they’re stolen).

Below, our Wanted list of the most luxe phone accessories your heart could ever desire. Your phone deserves not only protection from the forces at play, but also an element of flair … because, really, if it’s on your arm, you might as well style it accordingly.
