Becky G adopted a floral case while scrolling during her glam appointment, and I can't think of a better option. Whether it's for a formal event or a casual day with friends, the Casetify florals section has never failed me.

Salem Mitchell's collaboration with Wildflower is one that has lived in my mind rent-free ever since it came out. The psychedelic swirls have come across the hands of every It girl I know.

The best phone case I ever had was the mirrored one from Casetify, and since Alexa Chung has incredible taste, she agrees with me. The metallic reflection makes for the perfect neutral and is the best way to do makeup touch-ups.

Yes, even Tracee Ellis Ross has upped her phone-case game. If you're a minimalist or don't want a case that's too flashy, look into those neutral colorways. When you choose the color of the season, no one can say your phone case isn't an outfit-finisher.

I have recently become the kind of person who switches up their phone case when it's time to go on holiday. When I was in Paris, I felt like my phone case did not match the French-girl vibes that I was surrounded by, so I swapped mine out for the rest of the trip, and it was the best decision I've ever made.

Victoria Beckham is the definition of quiet luxury, so of course she would have a simple phone case. Although she's known for switching up her engagement ring annually, she rarely steps away from the traditional clear phone case that she loves.

If you want the complete opposite of the quiet-luxury look, look no further than this Megan Thee Stallion–approved tie-dye look. When your phone case matches your hair, you know you're doing something right.

If you love a specific designer brand, a phone case is the perfect way to show your support. Bella Hadid looks incredibly cool with this Moschino phone case, but I'm also eyeing styles from Bottega Veneta and Louis Vuitton.

No one is more committed to taking risks with fashion than Dua Lipa. A pink and punchy phone case is a no-brainer for her, and I'm obsessed with her love for this mushroom case.
