10 Reasons a Designer iPhone Case Is the Perfect Fashion Investment

Common wisdom says that if you’re going to splurge, go big on just two items: shoes and bags. And I totally get it. When it comes to cost-per-wear, my favorite pair of Marc Jacobs boots ended up being a total bargain after nearly a decade of love (R.I.P.). Same goes for my Mansur Gavriel tote, which has been going strong for four years and counting.

That said, I think there’s a different item that’s even more deserving of my cash: an iPhone case. Here’s the logic. On average, you look at your iPhone 80 times a day. Eighty! (Can't say that about your shoes.) So why not make those glances count by dressing it up in a designer outfit all its own. You then get to admire it every time you check your messages... and scroll through Instagram... and whatever else it is you while away your time on.

One thing’s certain: There’s no shortage of options for every aesthetic, whether your idea of perfection is Louboutin’s luxuriously weighty studs or Burberry’s super classic checks. Ahead, 10 designer looks to dress up your constant companion.
