A case is hardly ever needed for your smartphone but if you're one of those who love to have one anyway, then check this one out: SurfacePad. It complements the iPhone's design instead of turning it to look like a tank.

And what's more it also protects your screen, without looking like it just added a couple more pounds to your phone. The case is made out of smooth napa leather, and can serve as a stand too which is useful if you're eating out alone and wanting to watch some video.

It's $35 and available for iPhone 5 and iPhone 4/4S. [TwelveSouth]
