Cinco de Mayo is only a few days away, and the traditional celebration of Mexican culture is sure to draw large crowds both north and south of the border. Officially called the "Day of the Battle of Puebla," the holiday commemorates Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín's unlikely victory over French forces on May 5, 1862.

But you do not need to be a history buff -- or even have ties to Mexico, for that matter - to join the celebration. You might want to consider making a contribution, however, which could come -- for example -- in the form of a stylish Cinco de Mayo smartphone case.

There are plenty of options for your iPhone 6 that do not only allow you to show your appreciation for Latino culture, but also protect your phone just as effectively as the Mexican army defended Puebla. Here are some of our favorites:

  • The coat of arms of Mexico has been a well-recognized symbol of the country's culture for centuries (yes, centuries!), and its golden eagle devouring a snake makes for an impressive visual. Zazzle has put the bird on its nicely designed Flag of Mexico Distressed iPhone 6 Case, which is sure to turn heads at your upcoming Cinco de Mayo party. This slim-profile, lightweight cover is made from durable hard plastic to provide maximum impact resistance, and it's yours for $44.95.

  • If you would rather invest your Cinco de Mayo budget in Coronas and tequila (but still want to protect your smartphone in case the consumption of those delights results in some clumsiness), consider Amazon's I Love Cinco de Mayo Rubber Case for iPhone 6. This silicone, soft-skin cover -- which is made from flexible TPU material that will not scratch your device -- comes at a bargain price of $14.99, something that is certainly worth celebrating!

  • So you prefer for a modern, sleek and understated design to cover your beloved phone? Then take a look at the Cinco De Mayo Red Pepper iPhone 6 Tough Case from Cafe Press. Its cleverly assembled vegetable pays tribute to the best of Mexican culture, and at $30, the shatterproof, scratch-resistant hard-shell cover is a great value, too.
