Personalized Phone Cases
We pick up our phones dozens of times a day. That means whatever sits on the back of your phone is probably going to be seen more times per day than almost anything else you own. That’s not trivial when you’re thinking about gifts. You have the opportunity to place something truly personal into someone’s hands; something they’ll look at hundreds of times a day without even realising it. And that’s a lot more meaningful brief than trying to find another cupboard dweller.
Because of this, we’ve been picky about what’s included in this list. Custom phone cases have been pretty cornered market for questionable quality. Too many of them have that nasty, glossy plastic that starts yellowing after a week and flakes at the edges by December. Yuck. We didn’t want anything like that here. Every option we’ve included has been tried and tested by us to make sure the quality is up for the daily wearing, that the personalisation isn’t tacky, and that overall it feels more gift-worthy than novelty item.
The best phone cases take advantage of that specificity. Sure, printing your loved one’s name on their phone is fine. But adding that name to a print of their favourite photo, or pairing it with the date they moved in together, or a poem that brings back memories is even better. The cases we’ve selected allow you to do all this and more. We searched far and wide to find makers who let you dive into details without making customising your message feel overly complicated. If you’re going to spend the time ordering something this personal, the process should feel as lovely as giving the gift itself.
Whilst we think these make great birthdays gifts, they’re also great for that teen who seems impossible to buy for, that new mum that would never buy themselves something nice or that friend who has everything but doesn’t quite have one of these. If they love, and they own a phone (hi everybody), then taking something you love and putting it on the object they use the most is meaningful. Don’t overlook something just because it seems simple. This is one of the simplest and most heartfelt gifts you can buy.
Every case in here is one that we would buy for friends and family. We actually care about these gifts being nice.
