The Best Smartphone Cases For College Students

By Alexia Gonzalez on April 24, 2015

You can stop and ask almost anyone on campus and they will probably have an iPhone or a smartphone.

Phones are one of the most necessary accessories of our generation, and some people have gotten pretty creative about how they protect and decorate them with cases.

While many people choose a more traditional route and pick a case solely for the purpose of protecting their phone from being damaged, there are plenty of crazy cases out there that really show off some personality.

Not only can a quirky case express your unique sense of style, there are some incredibly cute and practical cases out there that don’t trade out function for aesthetic.

The decorating options are endless. For fashion aficionados, there are cases designed by the likes of Prada and Gucci, and even gold cases studded with diamonds.

Are you an art-lover? Then your phone can reflect your creative side and don reproductions of famous paintings. For all of your architectural types you can even rock a case enclosed in a customizable metal case with interlocking pieces.

The aesthetic possibilities for smartphone cases have literally become endless.

With all of the things that phones can manage these days, from monitoring heart rate to balancing our checkbooks it is no surprise that our protective cases have changed to keep up.

Whether you prefer colorful, glitzy or sleek, or even if you’re a tech junkie that wants to keep up with the latest electronic fads, there is definitely a case out there for you.
