Many people have questions about making their own creative iPhone cases and these are some of the most asked questions:
What kind of paint do you use on phone cases?
If you're looking for a phone case that's both stylish and unique, you need to check out professionally printed iPhone cases and not attempt to paint your own! These cases are made using a process called sublimation, which involves printing images onto special paper and then heating them until they turn into a gas. This gas is then absorbed by the plastic phone case, permanently bonding it and creating a high-quality and colour-rich case.
Is it OK to paint a phone case?
Painting iPhone cases has become a popular way to personalize your phone and add some extra flair. But is it OK to paint a phone case? The best way is to purchase a clear case and to paint the inside of the case with acrylic paint so the case protects your artwork. A better way would be to create your design and upload it to one of the many print-on-demand suppliers so you have your own one-of-a-kind case professional produced as it will not only look better but will last far longer and protect your phone better.
How do you make phone cover art?
To make your own phone art you can use any art materials you wish and take a good photograph that is well lit to upload, but a better solution would be to use crisp and colourful digital art that you create. Apps like Procreate are perfect for this and then upload your art to a platform like Snapfish, Photobox, or Zazzle. The issue is there are often very limited options and the cases tend to be single layer so you don't get a true protective option like our 'Tough' collection of cases and the prices are higher than retail prices.
Is Casetify worth the money?
Casetify is one of many online platforms that supply cases with some customisation options, it isn't the cheapest solution and many of their cases cost more than the famous artist-designed cases we sell at The John Dyer Gallery so it would be worth shopping around. In our opinion, there are too many designs by unknown artists and designers. You might find your perfect case here but we would look elsewhere.
What other case options are there?
There are iPhone cases available everywhere online from Amazon, Etsy, Apple, eBay and just about every other website you could mention. The issue is Apple tends to be a bit expensive with bland covers (but could be ideal for accessories like snap-on battery packs or wallets) and Etsy has a wealth of cheap options from unknown designers, and manufacturers and has very variable case quality.
We use our own cases at the John Dyer Gallery
We always buy our own John Dyer Gallery cases for our iPhones and have been doing this since 2009 and haven't found a better quality or such good value product. We are very confident you will also love our designs and very high-quality smartphone cases. We always buy the 'Tough' cases for our own devices as some extra protection is always worth it in our opinion.
We have cases to perfectly fit all recent iPhones including iPhone 8, iPhone X, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone SE and iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini Pro and Max.

"Have collected 5 oil paintings by Ted Dyer over the years when we do our annual visit to Cornwall. I still love his work so when I saw the phone cases online with one of his paintings I did not hesitate in ordering one. Arrived Very quickly and the case it’s well made and I’m sure will last many years. Much admired by everyone who has seen it"
"Nice to be able to carry a bit of Cornish art around in the pocket!"
"iPhone case really lovely good quality Just like the picture Very pleased and very quick service."
"I love this iPhone case I purchased for my iPhone X. I went for the 'Tough' gloss version and it has a silicon protective layer and a glossy outer that features the amazing John Dyer painting of Cannes in the South of France. It is a perfect fit, great quality and a fantastic price too. The case arrived just a few days after I ordered it and I highly recommend."
