As of this week, it's official: the 2016 White House race is on. With Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, the first big-name candidate has announced he is running for president, and it is set to pick up steam from here.

The first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses are still some 10 months away, but if you have already made up your mind on who you would like to move into the executive mansion come January 2017, why not get the word out as soon as possible? And what better way to do so than on the smartphone that keeps you up to date on the latest election info?

Your iPhone 6 cover can, of course, easily double as a mini billboard for your favorite candidate. So if you would like to protect your smartphone and voice your political views at the same time, here are some of the most stylish options to choose from:

  • Ted Cruz is said to have few friends in the Republican establishment, so some may doubt that he has an easy path toward the GOP's nomination. If you would like to challenge that assumption, CafePress' Cruz to Victory iPhone 6 Slim Case does so with a pun. This shatterproof and scratch-resistant snap-on cover is available for $24.50.

  • Libertarian heavyweight Rand Paul is expected to announce his White House bid on April 7, according to WMUR, and if you plan to be present at his Louisville, Kentucky, rally, bring the right paraphernalia: With Redbubble's Stand With Rand Case, your allegiances will be clear, though the bold statement will set you back between $15 and $30, depending on whether you choose the "Snap," "Tough" or "Skin" version of the cover.

  • Hillary Clinton is the undeclared -- and undisputed -- frontrunner in the Democratic Party. The revelation that she used her personal email account for State Department business has damaged her brand in recent weeks; so if you support the former first lady, you probably want to focus on the future, not the past. With Fine Art America's iPhone 6 Case, which features Clinton before a presidential seal, you are sure to achieve that for a mere $40.

  • Martin O'Malley, meanwhile, emerged this week as one of Clinton's strongest competitors among Democrats. The former Maryland governor still needs to build his brand. Want to help him do that Consider Zazzle's O'Malley 2016 Carved Maple iPhone 6 Case. This durable plastic encasing with a wood inlay will cost you $49.95.
