Apple’s iPhone, one of the most popular cellphones in the United States in 2012, has really made its mark. Whether you are walking down the street, sitting in a restaurant or even doing homework in the Stacks, an iPhone spotting is guaranteed.
Despite all of the iPhone’s cool and modern features, most teenagers tend to put as much care into the case they put on it, as to the content actually in it. The purpose of the iPhone case is to protect the phone, but that doesn’t seem to be girls’ #1 priority nowadays.
At Hewitt, students feel the case’s design is actually more important that practicality! When speaking to Rocki Lutsky 16′, she explained to me that not only do they protect your phone from damage, but they also make the phone more exciting. It takes it to a whole new level, allowing you to differentiate yourself from your friends. When I asked Rocki about popular cases, she told me the Free People studded case is quite trendy among young girls. Free People is just one of the many makers of covers; Speck, Otterbox, and Urban Outfitters also make it onto the list of best sellers!
Those of you who fall into the category of creative and unique can attempt to design your own! Grayson Brower 15′ did just that to her ordinary, red iPhone case. By hot-glueing some gems in a funky pattern onto the surface, Grayson took her case from boring to fun and unique. The are many tutorials and ideas on websites like Pinterest that give creative and inexpensive DIYs.
So, if you have some spare time and are sick of seeing the same phone cases over and over again, get some glitter and start creating! Watch the video below to see how you can get started.
