Fashionable, fun cases are typically not meant for protection, but for style. There are nearly endless possibilities for personalized phone cases out there, ao a couple of students share their phone cases and a little story about why have them

“When I had an iPhone, I collected different phone cases and I wanted to match one with every outfit.”

“I really like how it reminds me of my childhood. I wanted it because it was cute and I’ve liked Winnie the Pooh since I was little.”
