Phone cases have become the most common accessory on campus and the range from clear to fully customized tells you more about a person than their actual phone choice does. Clear cases signal a preference for minimalism, letting the manufacturer's design speak rather than covering it. Custom cases with photos, illustrations, or text are personal billboards that face outward every time you set your phone on a table. I like the ones printed from original art because they turn a protective shell into a small canvas. On Etsy and Redbubble, the phone case market is large enough to support independent illustrators making a living from it.
