You have finally made the leap, you have finally got that new iPhone. Your first step now is to keep it protected from drops, spills, and scratches. The best way to do that is with a nice and durable case.

There are many things that can happen to your fragile mini-computer. The first and usually the most disastrous thing to happen to your phone is a drop.

To combat against drops, phone cases are getting hefty rubber and plastic barriers to keep them safe from free fall. 

Next, with a phone you have to keep it dry. Remember these phones retail for up to $1,000 and they cannot get wet. Make sure your phone case has some water protection in it.

Finally, you have to keep that fragile glass screen scratch-free. Scratches can happen very easily, so make sure your phone case has a screen protector. 

Here are three good cases that you should look into purchasing for your new iPhone 6.

Otterbox Defender Series: Otterbox knows what they are doing when it comes to rugged cases. These cases have a rubber outer shell, a dual layered enclosure and a built-in screen protector. So you don't get the waterproofing, but you do get everything else.

CandyShell Grip: This phone case has an anti-slip grip to keep you from dropping your phone. However, should it drop, the case has military-grade drop protetion.

Griffin Survivor All-Terrain: This is the case for you if you are rough with your phone. It is extremely rugged, it is sealed to keep water out. Although it is not necessarily water proof, meaning do not dump your phone in a bucket, the seals on this phone will keep rain water out, and that is definitely a good thing for many populations.
