In shopping malls, arcades, and tourist destinations, people use their smartphones every day.
However, most phone cases available in stores look very similar.

Many consumers actually want a phone case that truly reflects their personality, such as:

• Printing their own photos

• Creating couple or family memory cases

• Designing unique patterns

• Using travel photos as souvenirs

Traditionally, custom phone cases require customers to:

• Place an order online

• Upload images

• Wait several days for delivery

For people who are already out shopping or traveling, this waiting time often reduces their desire to buy.

Many shoppers have the same thought:

“I wish I could make my own phone case right now.”

The Solution

Customers can easily create their own phone case in just a few steps:

1️⃣ Select the phone model
2️⃣ Upload a photo or choose a design template
3️⃣ Complete payment on the touchscreen
4️⃣ Wait for the machine to print the case automatically
