I have a custom UICollectionViewCell subclass that overwrites initWithFrame: and layoutSubviews to setup its views. However, I\'m now trying to do two

In your custom UICollectionViewCell subclass you could override the setSelected: as so:

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected {
    [super setSelected:selected];

    if (selected) {
        [self animateSelection];
    } else {
        [self animateDeselection];
    }
}

I have found that on repeated touches this method is called on a cell even if it's already selected so you may want to just check that you are really changing state before firing unwanted animations.
