Not to say that I think these cases or case makers are bad all around. I think they are just not the best designs that the company has to offer. After all they all can’t be superstar cases. If you have any of the cases below or belong to the company that produced the case, try to roll with the punches. If the cases weren’t popular than nobody would be talking about them. I’m only one guy, after all someones got to like the cases otherwise the company wouldn’t be selling them still right?
10. Otterbox Defender Case
Someone asked why the Otterbox Defender case was not on my Top 10 Best iPhone Cases article in the comments. Well, my answer is this. It protects - probably the best in the market, but in the process they beefed up the iPhone to a point where appeal went out the window like a body building fanatic. Perhaps some deep sea diver or Rock Climber would find the design pleasant, but I think its worthy to be the 10th ugliest iPhone case on my list.

9. Incase Slider
If you did read my Top 10 Best iPhone Cases, you know that I named Incase as my number 1 iPhone case overall. Before you start calling me a hypocrite, let me say that does not mean that every color was appealing to us. The fact that they had such a recipe for a great case covered by this odd mixture made me deem the Incase slider. Brown and orange are complimentary somewhat but its not something many people would agree with.

8. Casemate Vroom Case
The Casemate Vroom.. From a 18-25 demographic standpoint I can say that the name vroom is not what we want our case named. The cheesy tire tread does match the name though so I guess its named properly. Casemate- just like the last two cases we ripped on are really great companies, we just don’t like every design they have. Hey someone out there must be buying them though.

7. DLO Hybrid Shell
Introducing the new 2 -in-1 cheese grater from DLO. Just kidding but I thought the design would of been so much better without the holes on the back. DLO has brought us other great cases. Just not feeling this abomination.

6. Cretouch Ultra Thin Case
Ultra thin and ultra boring. Not sure why so many case makers started leaving the whole in the back of the case to show off the Apple logo. I suppose a hardcore fanboy would want to be reminded that he still has an Apple product.

5. iFrogz Luxe
Kermit- you lost your iPhone.. And what is with the bellybutton on the back?

4. Agent 18 Diamond Vest
I guess if you like the pajama look for your iPhone then this is the case for you. Somehow bulky, plain and rubbery all-in-one. You cannot see here but the other side also has diamond tread that we did not especially enjoy either. Sorry Agent 18, we still enjoy your slider cases.

3. More Terra Leather Collection
If my Grandma had an iPhone, I think this is the case she would use. Elegant for an older women, no doubt. If some girl in the club was toting this around I would probably snicker.

2. Ultra-Case Mural
Sorry the kids drawings coated with gloss is not appealing to me. I know that it is suppose to be cave drawing art but again I don’t think peers my age enjoys the art on the case.

1. SENA Leatherskin case for the iPhone
I like mustard but not enough for a Mustard yellow case. The worst thing about this is that the corners on the iPhone are the most vulnerable area of the iPhone in a drop, yet this is the only area NOT covered by the leather case. I never was a fan of leather cases so that can be my biased opinion of naming it no. 1.

As I said I’m biased- after all beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Let me know if you guys agree or not with my assessments of the cases.
