Not everyone wants a photo collage or a watercolor explosion. Some of us just want our initials in a nice font on a solid color and that's the whole vibe.

 
Aurora Skye profile picture
Try this if every personalized case you've seen felt like too much. One letter, one clean font, one solid background. I got mine in matte black with a white initial and it looks expensive. It was not.

Kid and Family Artwork Cases That Preserve the Chaos

My fridge was covered in my kid's drawings and they kept falling behind the stove. Putting them on a phone case means I actually see them every day and they won't end up in a landfill.

 
Aurora Skye profile picture
Snap a photo of whatever your kid drew today and send it in. My four-year-old's self-portrait is now on my case and every parent at pickup has asked about it. Best way to preserve art that would otherwise get recycled.
