iPhone 5 Cases: Funky and Unique Styles to Set you Apart from the Apple Crowd [PHOTOS]

The Apple iPhone 5 hasn't even been released yet (in-store sales kick off this Friday, Sept. 21) and already fans are going crazy over hip and up-to-date iPhone 5 devices and accessories, including protective cases and covers. While Apple and many other popular iPhone accessory-making companies (Incase, Otterbox, Incipio...) have a variety of products offered already online, here is a collection of fun, out-of-the-ordinary iPhone 5 case designs for all you funky Apple enthusiasts. Many people may be walking around with the new iPhone 5 come October (pre-order sales exceeded a whopping two million last Friday alone) so be sure to set your unique self apart from the crowd with these colorfully bizarre iPhone 5 cases.
