MOSHI, a maker of stylish accessories for digital devices, has expanded its line of cellphone cases with a couple of new designs for the iPhone 5.

The iGlaze Armor updates Moshi's slim-fit iGlaze case by adding a diamond-cut aluminium back plate to a polycarbonate frame. The case, which costs $40 at Moshi's online store, comes in black, bronze and silver.

Grooves on the sides allow access to all ports and buttons, and a hole on the back lets the Apple logo peek through. The hole is also useful for popping the phone out of the case, an act that requires dexterity and strong fingernails with other snap-on cases.

The second case, the Origo, is made of form-fitting silicone with a honeycomb structure that the company says offers more shock absorption. The buttons are covered here, but still accessible. The Origo, which comes in black or white for $25, had a better grip than the iGlaze Armor, but the fit around the phone was a little loose. (Text and pictures by The New York Times News Service)
