To protect the appearance, a good protective cover is very important. The protective covers can be divided into several kinds. There are hard case, silicon case, TPU case and leather case.
The hard case also includes many kinds: rubber coated, leather covered, raised, and bling bling rhinestone case. They have different hand feeling. You can choose as you like. The only disadvantage is they are easily become cracked when they are hardly pressed, so to choose a hard case with good quality is very important.
The silicon case is very soft, skintight, wear proof, and heat resistant. The disadvantage is the iPhone surface would become not very glossy after using a very longtime, so my suggestion is taking off the silicon case and clean your iPhone every month.
TPU means "Thermoplastic Urethane", which is a kind of environmental material. The TPU case is softer than hard case and harder than silicon case, both firm and flexible. I like using TPU case to protect my iPhone very much.
The leather case looks more high quality, therefore the price of it is higher. You'll have to take out your iPhone from some kinds of leather case when you want to use it. Since it is easy for you to leave your finger prints on the iPhone, you'd better choose those leather case with which you don't need to take your iPhone out.
Mover, the screen protector is also indispensable. A protective case + a piece of screen protector will keep your iPhone brand new even when you want to sell it after using it a very long time. There are also full body screen guard, which can protect your iPhone better.
