How to Design Your Own Phone Case

Design your own case in five steps

1. 1. Choose your exact phone model

   Pick from iPhone 11 through iPhone 17 Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy S21 through S26 Ultra, including Fold and Flip. The template is measured from the real device, so the camera cut-out lands exactly where it should.

2. 2. Upload your photo or artwork

   Use the original image rather than a screenshot — anything from a modern phone camera is sharp enough. You can upload several images to build a collage.

3. 3. Frame it on the real case shape

   Drag to move, pinch to zoom and rotate with two fingers. Keep faces and text clear of the camera hole and the case edges — the preview shows the true printable area.

4. 4. Add a name or message

   Layer text over your design: a name, initials, a date or a short message, positioned anywhere inside the printable area.

5. 5. Order and we print it

   Your case is UV-printed to order at our Sydney workshop and usually dispatched within 72 hours, with free standard shipping across Australia.

Design tips for a better print

• Portrait-oriented photos fill a phone case with the least cropping.
• Bright, evenly lit images print with more contrast than dark night shots.
• Aim for at least 1200 pixels on the short edge of your image.
• Simple, bold designs read better at case size than busy collages.
