You can cover iPhone SE with an old 5S case, but why?

Apple has finally introduced the iPhone SE and despite being described as a smaller version of the iPhone 6S, it looks a lot like an even older iPhone model, the 5S.

Though some might think that the similarity between the old and the new iPhone as a downside, those who own an iPhone 5S and want to upgrade to an iPhone SE can still use their old case. But who wants to fit a new iPhone with an old case?

Here are just some of the latest iPhone SE accessories available in time for the arrival of the new device:

Apple

What Apple calls precision-crafted European leather is designed to fit snugly to the iPhone SE, allowing the device to stay slim while being protected. The leather case has a microfiber lining that protects the phone from the inside. Apple’s case is priced at $39.

Grovemade

Spigen

Here are just some of the iPhone SE cases Spigen has to offer: iPhone SE Wallet Case S $24.99, Liquid Armor $14.99,  Neo Hybrid Crystal $29.99, Rugged Armor $19.99, Slim Armor $24.99, Style Armor $24.99, Thin Fit $14.99, Ultra Hybrid $19.99, Crystal Shell $19.99, Neo Hybrid $29.99, Tough Armor $29.99m and if you’re also looking to protect the screen Spigen also offers an iPhone SE Screen Protector GLAS.tR SLIM HP for $19.99.

X-Doria

There’s also the Bump Gear Plus, which uses co-molded super protective anodized aluminum and soft TPU lining to protect the device without adding too much bulk to the device, priced at $24.99. Finally there’s the Engage Folio, which features a  clear, hard polycarbonate back and leather-like front cover, priced at $29.99.

Speck

SpeckSpeck offers various types of cases for the iPhone SE, from cases with graphic designs, clear covers that enhances the look of the device, and even shells with faceplates to protect the front and back of the device.

Some of the cases offered include Candyshell Clear for $34.95, Candyshell Inked for $39.95 and the Candyshell Amped for $44.95, Speck also offers screen protectors with colored trims starting at $9.95.

Some of these phone cases are a bit pricey, so if you don’t want to shell out for a new iPhone SE case and you have an iPhone 5S case, just use the old one.

The iPhone SE will be up for pre-order starting March 24 and will be available in stores by March 31. Price starts at $399.
