Happy Dance! New iPhone 6 Cover

I started a new job in December so I was the happy recipient of a new work iPhone 6 (as opposed to my lovely old iPhone 4 that I still use for personal stuff). I decided I really needed a sweet cover for it so I auditioned several of my Llama Land patterns for the job. And the winner was...

This time around, I decided to use Zazzle which I've used for print products in the past (wedding invites). I think the colors turned out really true to the original.

Here's the front/side. The colors usually get a little wonky on the edges. Isn't that a cute beagle face!?

I'm always really nervous the picture won't be crisp, but this really turned out perfect. I paid about $32 for it with their New Years coupon code (usually retails for $40), so it was well worth the price!

I'm also awaiting a custom case that I ordered for my mom for Christmas. Christmas you say? Wasn't that like two weeks ago? YES OMG! She has a Nexus 5, which I discovered not many companies sell custom cases for, gggrrrr. So I ordered from Case-Custom. They manufacture the cases in China and there was a major shipping issue so despite having ordered it on December 6, it has still not arrived on January 10... ridiculous.

Anyways, rant over, new phone case yay!

What's Better Than an iPhone?!

An iPhone wearing a custom Snarky Beagle case! Yes! I just bought an iPhone 4 last week and while I was on the search for a good, tough case (I'm a chronic phone dropper... many of my phones have met their ends on sidewalks, in rivers, etc.) I discovered that Case-Mate offered custom cases. All you have to do is upload a file and they do the rest.

So I turned this:

Into this:

Pretty sweet, huh? The colors turned out just right which I was a little worried about. Here's the same design in different colors. The one thing I don't like is that the inside bumper only came in black which looks a little dopey but oh well. They also offer a "slim" case without the bumper. That's what I get for being a klutz I guess!

So what do you think? I love seeing the design on a real product. It's pretty amazing. One of my favorite designers, Jessica Swift, is doing a Kickstarter project to make rain boots with her designs so I can only imagine how exciting it would be to see a whole line of products with my designs. Maybe someday! 

In the meantime, holler if you want me to order one of these for you! You can pick any design and pick the colors. The case was $29.99 (with a $10 off online coupon).
