As soon as I got my iPhone I realised I'd need to find a sturdy case for it pretty soon, it feels like it wouldn't stand up well to being dropped from a great height and the back scratches really easily. I went straight on to Amazon and found this quirky little lego style cover for the bargain price of £3.99 with free postage and packing, it arrived the next working day, couldn't ask for better value or quicker delivery!

The cover is quite chunky, it does transform your sleek slim iPhone into a big fat lump of plastic but it offers so much more protection than a lot of other covers, the round 'connector' parts of the lego brick design protrude quite a bit and provide a bit of a shock absorber if you drop your phone. The cover is quite solid, a good few millimetres in thickness, and protects the back and sides of the phone but not the front as obviously you need access to the touchscreen!

There are two detachable lego bricks in different colours on the back of the case, you can put them anywhere you want to change the look of the case but also you can use them as a lens cover to protect the lens of the iPhone's camera from dust when not in use. The only problem with this case is related to the camera actually, when you take a picture with this case on you can see a little bit of the case on the screen as a vague red blur, so you need to pop the case off to get a good picture. This is fine most of the time but if you needed to snap something really quickly it would be a bit of a hassle!

What I love most about this case is the fun retro design though, I loved lego as a child as did most of us I imagine and there's a bit of nostalgia attached. The iPhone is my newest 'toy' but it has a little bit of an old childhood toy giving it some character! This cover is available in a range of bright colours but also in black and white for those of you who prefer a more low key colour scheme!
