DIY Phone Cases

Do you know anyone that doesn't own a mobile phone? Do you know anyone that wouldn't like a stunning personalized case to make their phone stand out from the crowd? I rest my case... That is why personalized phone cases make such wonderful gifts ideas; nearly everyone needs one to help protect their expensive devices and better still, most people want one too!

It doesn't matter if it's an iPhone or any other mobile phone, the concept is the same, personalized cases not only help protect your investment in modern communication devices, they can also give it a stunning look and provide it with its own identity.

The best thing about fully customizable phone cases is they can usually be found for any make or model phone, they are easily personalized with your own photos, logos, designs and text, they can usually be personalized free of any additional costs and they are always freely available online at most photo gift web-stores. Better still, when you design and create your own personalized case, it is often cheaper than its ready-made cousins you find in mobile phone shops the world over!

It's not difficult to make your own design and place it on a mobile phone case - if you have the artistic skills the world is your oyster when it comes to making your own designs, however, for most of us, we are sadly lacking in this area and even fewer of us are capable of producing our own graphic designs, so we need to look elsewhere.

There's no need to panic though - we are all capable of making our own designs by simply using our own photos, logos, text and a few other things I will get into later... It's not as hard as it sounds!

Design your own phone case using photos of loved ones

This is the easiest way of the lot to create a really cool gift. All you need to do is find a suitable digital photo on your camera or computer, upload it to a photo gift web-store and place it on the appropriate customizable phone case.

If your personalized phone case is destined for a mother or grand-mother, the number one choice for customization is a photo of their children or grand-children. This is also a popular design choice for fathers and grand-fathers.

Other popular design choices include photos of spouses, and for the younger generation, photos of boyfriends and girlfriends. Of course, many people also like to see pictures of themselves on their personalized case.
