Get Crafty!: The Ever Changing iPhone Case

I’m back baby! Sorry for not blogging for a while. In addition to getting a super fun side job teaching dance I’ve been designing away! More to come on that later. I hope you’ve all enjoyed your holidays and are starting off your new year on a positive note. For now, this is a blog post I’ve been meaning to write since I got an iPhone…. in October!

So in all the time that I had my Droid phone I kept thinking about how iPhone had all the cool cases. I guess it’s easier to build a case that’s almost all the same shape versus the various Android phones that are out there. So when the day came for me to finally purchase an iPhone case of my choice… well, the choices were more than overwhelming.

I like the stripes. The polka dots. The wooden cases. The ones that looked like cameras. The phone wallet. I couldn’t decide! If every case was five to ten bucks, fine, I could buy a variety. But at $30+ a pop, there was no way I could afford to get more than one. Plus I have design ADD. It’s hard to commit to a pattern since I’m always loving different trends. Chevron one minute and stripes or polka dots the next.

So as I hit Google for some inspiration I came upon an awesome idea. Interchangeable iPhone skins!

A spacious office to put said letterpress machine. With big windows for natural light. And to decorate. And to have dance parties. Read More

As we express our gratitude,
we must never forget that the highest
