Phone Cases We’re Obsessed With Right Now
Whatever side of the Apple iPhone vs. Samsung debate you’re on, smartphones are the most widely used type of phone on the planet today. With over six billion smartphones being used on the planet, that means we need a lot of cases to protect our phones from cracks and scratches.
From accidental droppings to sliding across rough surfaces, our phones can take quite a beating. We need cases to help keep them looking like they’re fresh out of the box.
The best part about phone cases is that you can never have too many, and you can match them to your clothes or to your mood. If you’ve kept all of your old phone cases, you can even track the fashion trends you participated in. And now more than ever, phone cases are fully integrated into trendy living.
What Are The Trendiest Phone Cases?
We have multiple phone case selections to choose from (from an iPhone case to a Samsung Galaxy case), and you can rest knowing that you’ll have both form and function when choosing one of our phone cases to protect your device. Don’t forget a screen protector after you pick out your case!
Here are some of the categories of fashion phone cases that we’re obsessed with right now.
Transparent/Clear Cases
With so many phone color options, you can enjoy them more with a transparent phone case. But just because your phone case is transparent, doesn’t mean that it has to be boring. Some of our favorite transparent cases have geometric and fun overlaying patterns to go with any look.
Another one of our favorite transparent cases has a tiny mirror on the back. The on-the-go mirror is great for checking your reflection before you take a selfie – or before you meet up with your newest Bumble match for a coffee date.
Functional Phone Cases
Were fidget spinners your go-to when you needed to pay attention? Do you find yourself not being able to sit still without wanting to tap or touch something?
If this is the case, you’ll love tactical phone cases that you can play with whether you are in class, waiting in line, or just watching TV. For instance, with our Push Pop Bubble Phone Case, you can pop away stress after a long day.
Really, any 3D pieces on a phone case are great for those who enjoy keeping their hands busy. A lot of tactile cases also have drop protection and wireless charging, which are huge pluses.
We have plenty of cases that feature 3D flowers and hearts that help you keep a better grip on your phone. And if you’re prone to dropping your devices, anything that makes your phone harder to drop is a pal.
Patterned Cases
When looking at phone cases, patterns are the best way to show off your personality and style.
Are you a fan of florals? There are plenty of cases to choose from, whether you are looking for your favorite flower or one that means something special to you. Want something quirky and fun? Food-patterned phone cases show off a fun side of your personality and can be an inspiration when you need a good place to have lunch or dinner.
Have a favorite cartoon or favorite doodles? Phone cases are the perfect medium to show off your beloved drawings. Like the fairy-ethereal vibe? A shimmery butterfly-patterned phone case will easily showcase this style. If you love a certain aesthetic, you can find the perfect pattern to match your clothing choices and mood.
Can Phone Cases Be Trendy and Functional?
We love an aesthetically pleasing phone case, but since phones are designed to work for you, shouldn’t your phone case work for you, too? A protective phone case is a huge plus; we love a waterproof case, a shock-absorbing case, or an antimicrobial case.
Here are some of our favorite functional phone cases:
Attached Stands
Cases with attached kickstands are a complete game changer. Instead of finding a place to prop your phone up when making a TikTok, you can simply use your case stand to prop your phone up anywhere.
The attached stands are also super convenient when you are trying to catch up on your latest show. Instead of holding your phone and risking a hand cramp, go for the ultimate comfort factor and use the stand to make your watching experience hands-free.
Video chatting is also easier when you have a stand for your phone. Instead of sending unsteady footage to your friends and family, you can use your phone stand to have a smooth, still, video.
Attached Straps
Another way your phone case helps to protect your phone is by keeping it safe from accidental drops. We’ve all had a case of butterfingers where we seem to drop everything we hold. This can be a pricey mistake if your phone falls at just the right height and speed. If you’ve ever broken a phone, then you know the pain when you see a giant crack in the screen — or even worse, if the screen has shattered into a thousand tiny pieces.
Attached straps on phone cases are your best friend when walking, jogging, or if you’re in any situation where dropping your phone would be an absolute mood buster — which, let’s be honest, is all the time.
Straps are another way to accessorize your phone, with many case patterns and strap materials complementing each other. A classy string of pearls as a strap can complement a feminine aesthetic, while a leather strap can raise the coolness factor.
