Last week I said goodbye to the iPhone 3 I’ve had for 3.5 years (and even then, it was a hand-me-down from my generous big brother). After the lock button broke, the email app caused the phone to freeze, and I stopped being able to receive calls (I mean…that’s what a phone’s for, right?), I upgraded to the iPhone 4. It’s white and sleek and lovely and the camera is so much better. I’m loving it and I thought it deserved a new case to keep it safe. Hence my search for a case with a literary bent. Here’s some of my favorites from etsy:
1. Childhood Memories Case from SandraArduiniPhoto
2. Winnie the Pooh Case from ShadetreePhotography
3. The Great Gatsby from CaseGarage
4. Alice in Wonderland Case by GABBYCases
5. Little Women by VintageChicImages
This one is a little bit too ‘flowery’ for me but I couldn’t pass up some Louisa May Alcott love.
6. Advanced Potion Making (Harry Potter) by CustomCaseFX
(You know how much I love Harry Potter.)
8. Pride and Prejudice by CaseGarage
(This is the one I ended up purchasing. So classic.)
9. Vintage Books by ksnapphoto
10. Hound of the Baskervilles by Out of Print (not an etsy shop, but I love everything on their site. Daniel gave me one of their Pride and Prejudice tote bags last year and I use it almost every day.)
And since it’s not an iPhone case, this didn’t make the list but it is seriously brilliant and I want one:
Yes, it’s a phone charger. Amazing. And you can order it with all sorts of different classic books.
Which one is your favorite?
Disclosure: Nobody paid me or gave me merchandise to feature their product, I just found some neat stuff the other day when I was perusing Etsy and wanted to share 🙂
Ah, see you have more will power than I do. I went into the store a few weeks ago to get the iPhone 3 and came out with an HTC Rezound.. Which I love, but it has very few cool covers. I wanted one just like what you posted (or even more importantly, a cow print one) but could find any that I liked so I settled for a paisley one. (It’s a farm girl thing). Why do I always buy weird phones that never have any of the cool gadgets? Oh well, its got killer headphones and most of the apps are free so more kiddie books for the tots!
I’m so bad with technology that I knew I’d need to stick with an iPhone or else be super confused!
I’m a new reader so I didn’t know that you live Harry Potter. I have to say though, after reading yesterday’s post, I’m surprised. I completely agree with your assessment of Twilight. But I lump Harry Potter and Twilight into the same category of “junk food” books. Either way, I like your new cover!
Welcome, Christy! And thanks! I can’t wait til the new cover comes in. Yes, I love HP big time. Here’s a post I wrote about why I think it’s such a wonderful story: http://carrotsformichaelmas.com/2012/06/11/why-your-kids-need-to-read-harry-potter/
It’s not as rich and wonderful as Lord of the Rings, for instance, but I think it’s very fine work and nothing like Twilight. Have you read Harry Potter?
…like the retro gatsby cover, though I’m not a huge fan of the book.
I’m glad, Amy. I’m not a huge fan, either. Hopefully, Ellie doesn’t read this and find us out…
Argh! The Great Gatsby! You guys! It’s so good!
This makes me want an iPhone–just for the case!
