Miansai might be best known for its signature nautical and military-themed men’s bracelets, but they’ve also come out with a bad-ass iPhone cover.

If a flashy phone case isn’t your style, check out this hand-dyed, hand-stitched leather sleeve by Dutch brand Mujjo. And while you’re at it, pick up a pair of their touch-screen friendly gloves—a winter staple of tech nerds everywhere.
ExoVault for iPhone 5
Price TBD
ExoVault
There are tough, indestrucatable iPhone cases… and then there’s the ExoVault. The Brooklyn-based manufacturer uses stainless steel screws to combine Brazilian ironwood with brass, aluminum or aerospace grade titanium (your choice). These babies aren’t even on the market yet, but you can pre-order yours on their website.
