Need to Upgrade Your Phone Case? Check Out Our Cute Summer 2023 Favorites
Just like your outfit and accessories, your phone case is a stylish extension of yourself, so if you don't love yours, it has to go.
Whether it's getting a little ratty or it just isn't you anymore, it's time you upgraded to a cute case you'll actually be proud to show off. While you could head to the store and settle for whatever looks cutest on the shelf, we prefer to expand our options by searching all of the best online retailers, and we've gathered some of our current faves below to get you inspired this summer.
Casely Here Comes the Sun Colorblock Sunset Clear Case: $25+
With Casely's abundant options for phones of all varieties, it can be tricky to pick just one style, but it's hard to resist their Here Comes the Sun Colorblock Sunset Clear Case. While most cases hide the color of your iPhone, this clear case allows that hue to shine through, complemented by a vibrant sunset over colorful hills. If you paid extra for a phone in a cute shade, but never get to see it because of your cases, this is your sign to make a swap.

Flaunt Abalone Shell Square iPhone Case: $39
Phone cases with squared edges are still relatively unusual, and paired with a shimmery mother-of-pearl pattern like this Abalone Shell Square iPhone Case from Flaunt, the style really shines. This stunning case is sure to stand out, and we've also found that the rectangular shape makes it easier to hold while also offering extra protection for clumsier users.

Enlighten Lights Storm Case: $19.99
If you're the type who gets bored looking at the same old case all of the time, turn in your static phone case for this dynamic moving Storm Case from Enlighten Lights. It comes in multiple colors, but our favorite is the black and white, with white sand swirling around within black liquid to create an ever-moving cascade on the back of your phone.

Bandolier Hailey Side Slot Leather Crossbody: $138
Why have a basic phone case when you can wear your phone as a chic and eye-catching accessory? Bandolier's Hailey Side Slot Leather Crossbody has a bold checkboard pattern on both the wallet and strap and also has a pocket for cards and cash, so you can ditch your handbag and still carry around everything you need.

Katie Kime Banana Leaves Phone Case: $48+
Katie Kime's Banana Leaves Phone Case first attracted us with its leafy pattern inspired by Palm Springs in the '60s before we became even more obsessed thanks to the monogramming available. For $10, you can pick different styles and include up to three initials to make your case truly one-of-a-kind. These cases also have two layers to keep your phone extra safe from drops and more.

Carved Live Edge Phone Case: $189
We've never seen phone cases quite like the ones from Carved, whose Live Edge cases combine real wood burl patterns with swirls of colorful resin to create completely unique patterns. Once you select the design you like, they remove that piece from the store to cut your individual case, so there isn't another one in the world quite like yours. This also means that if you see a pattern you love, you should nab it before someone else does!

Cocomii Square Dairy Cow Case: $19.99
Cocomii is another great brand making chic square phone cases, and we're particularly enamored with their animal print options. Their Square Dairy Cow case has the fuzzy look of a real black-and-white cow while giving your phone a rectangular shape that makes it feel like new.

Velvet Caviar Good Vibes iPhone Case: $40
For playful vibes and endless accessorization, Velvet Caviar has all kinds of fabulous phone case options, but our favorite just might be this Good Vibes iPhone Case. It leans into the Mushroomcore aesthetic with pastel toadstools, plus cherries, peace signs, eyeballs rainbows and more, while reminding us all to live with "Less perfection, more authenticity."

Lucrin iPhone Smart Cover: $87.75
Cute phone cases can also be super functional, and this Lucrin iPhone Smart Cover proves it. It comes in all kinds of colorways (including this funky blue-green shade), and even with its protective flip cover, it's slim and easy to carry around. Plus, if you're like us and constantly watching YouTube on your phone, the cover rolls up magnetically to create a convenient stand for easy viewing.

The Anti Case Anti-Peep Magnetic Case: $39.95
We'll admit that sometimes, the features of a phone case are more important than the look of the case itself, and that's especially true of The Anti Case's Anti-Peep Magnetic Case. The case itself comes in standard sleek colors, but the important thing is that it provides phone privacy unless you're looking at it straight-on, preventing nosy passersby from seeing what you're doing on your phone. If your greatest fear is having your activity filmed in public, only to go viral on TikTok, you may want to invest ASAP.
