How’s your screen time looking? Ugggh, same. But there is a way to turn all that mindless scrolling into an event. Enter the best designer phone cases.
If you’re bored of bags, have run out of fingers to put rings on and your shoe closet is at capacity, but you’re still hankering after an accessory update then the designer phone case is for you. Today, these protective cases and covers have graduated from purely practical to fully-charged status symbols in their own right. The price point is also part of the appeal, they are an accessible entry-point to some of your favourite luxury brands.
Far from being an after-thought accessory, the new crop of designer phone cases have stolen the spotlight in many a mirror selfie. So you’d be wise to consider, as with everything else in your wardrobe, what your phone case says about you.
Are you a lover of luxury? Louis Vuitton’s iPhone 12/12 Pro Bumper or Bottega Veneta’s Intrecciato styles are for you. Do you have a propensity for the playful? Marc Jacobs Tie DyeandChao's Peppermint Personalised versions are just the tickets. Consider yourself more analogue than digital? Smythson – spiritual home of the paper diary – has a phone case for the reluctantly switched-on among us.
The individualists among us will likely be wooed by customisable options. Anya Hindmarch’s ‘Pimp Your Phone’ collection is an easy way to make a statement and the initialed versions from fashion insider favourite Chaos are as much of a fixture on the FROW as poker faces and sunglasses. Choosing a phone case with a strap or a handle meanwhile, says you’re so busy you already have your hands full. All of the above say you’re sensible enough not to run the risk of smashing your phone (again, and again, and again).
