You can browse the Shop and Community and buy ready-made designs without one. You need a free account to use the Design Lab and Photo studio, to save designs, to like and remix Community designs, and to see all your orders in one place.

If the shop allows guest checkout, you can also buy without an account and follow your order on the Track an order page.

Yes. Every page works on phones and tablets. On small screens the Design Lab's tools sit in a row above the sheet and the settings panel moves below it. The phone menus open as a sheet from the bottom of the screen. A computer or tablet with a stylus is the most comfortable for detailed drawing, and pen pressure works with a stylus.

Yes. Everything can be reached with the keyboard: Tab moves between controls, arrow keys move between phones in the phone menus and between tiles in the Collection's phone picker, Enter chooses, and Esc closes menus and dialogs. In this help center, press / to jump to the search box. The Design Lab has full keyboard shortcuts (see Keyboard shortcuts).

59 models:

• iPhone: SE / 8 / 7, X / XS, XR, XS Max, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12 mini, 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 13 mini, 13, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max, 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, 16e / 17e, 17, Air, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max.

Every phone menu on the site has a search box: type "15 Pro", "S23" or "mini" to find yours fast.

• Want your design everywhere, including the sides? Snap (slim) or Tough (more protection).
• Drop your phone a lot? Tough or MagSafe Tough.
• Use MagSafe chargers or accessories? MagSafe Tough or MagSafe Clear (iPhone 14 and newer).
• Love your phone's colour? Clear or MagSafe Clear. Leave parts of your design empty and the phone shows through.

Not every case type is made for every phone. For example, the Galaxy S26 series and iPhone 16e / 17e come in Tough only, the iPhone SE / 8 / 7 and X-series in Clear only, and MagSafe cases are for iPhone 14 and newer. Pick your phone and you'll only see the types we can make. In the Photo studio, types that aren't made for your phone are dashed out, and a note lists the ones that are. If you change phone and your case type isn't available, we switch to the closest one and tell you.

On Snap and Tough cases the print continues round the sides. Choose:

• Wraparound (the rainbow swatch): your design carries on round the edges.
• A solid colour (Blush, Pearl, Lilac, Black or Ice): the sides are that colour and your design stays on the back.

Clear cases always have clear sides, so the side choice is turned off for them.

Every case has an opening for the camera, and nothing is printed inside it. Its exact shape depends on your phone and case type. You'll see it:

• as a dark area on every case picture;
• as a pink hatched shape labelled "Camera cut-out · not printed" on your Design Lab sheet;
• when you turn on Print guides in the Photo studio.

Keep faces, words and logos clear of it. The Design Lab warns you if something sits underneath (see The print check).

The cyan dashed line shows the area that's always safely printed on the back. Anything past it may wrap round the side (Snap and Tough) or be trimmed off (Clear). Keep important things inside it, and let backgrounds and patterns run all the way to the edge.

MagSafe cases have a ring of magnets inside. On MagSafe Clear the ring is visible through the case, so we show it on the case pictures and as a dotted ring on your Design Lab sheet. On MagSafe Tough the magnets are hidden inside and your design covers them.

Paper shows your design as a flat sheet, which is best for drawing and placing things. On case shows the sheet printed on the real case:

• switch between Back, Front and Side;
• pick Glossy or Matte and see the difference;
• change the case type and sides right there. The case size in millimetres is shown under the picture.

Press 1 for Paper and 2 for On case. The small live preview in the corner of the Paper view updates as you work. Click it to jump to On case.

Press the phone button in the top bar (it shows a mini phone, your phone's name, the case type and price). In the panel that opens:

1. search or browse phones by series (use the All / iPhone / Galaxy tabs);
2. on the right, pick a case type: each card shows the case, price and what it's like;
3. press Done.

Changing phone reshapes your sheet to fit and keeps everything in place. Check the print check afterwards, because the camera cut-out moves with the phone.

Everything you add is a layer, listed in the Layers card (newest on top). For each layer you can:

• select it by clicking its row;
• show or hide it with the eye, and lock it so it can't be moved by accident;
• rename it by double-clicking the name;
• reorder it by dragging the row, or with Move up / Move down.

The buttons above the list add a new drawing layer, duplicate (Ctrl+D), move up, move down, merge down (combine with the layer below) and delete (Delete). Brushes, the eraser and the fill bucket work on drawing layers, and a new one is made for you if needed.

When something is selected, its settings appear in the panel:

• Every layer: Opacity, Blend mode (Multiply, Screen, Overlay and more), Rotation, Arrange (bring forward / send back), Flip, Center, Lock, Hide and Glow with glow colour.
• Text: the words, Font, Weight (Regular, Semibold, Bold), Italic, Size, Spacing, Curve (bend text into an arc), Left / Center / Right, Solid or Holographic fill, Color, Outline and outline colour.
• Shapes: Shape type, Fill (Solid color, Holographic or No fill), Outline and thickness, Corners (rounded rectangles) and Points (stars and polygons).
• Images: Fit inside, Fill the case, Center on the case, rounded Corners, and filters: Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Hue, Blur, Grayscale, Sepia and Invert, with Reset filters.
• Drawings: Clear layer.

The Colors card holds your main colour (used by the brush, fill, shapes and text) and your second colour (used by gradients). Click a swatch to pick, type a hex code, or use the color picker tool. Press X or the ⇄ button to swap them. Recently used colours are remembered.

The Background card sets what's behind everything: Blank, Solid, Linear, Radial or Holo, with colours, angle and ready-made presets. On Clear cases "Blank" is called Clear: the sheet shows a checkerboard and your phone will show through.

The Lab compares your design with the real template for your phone and case type. When something won't print the way it looks, an orange print warning badge appears over the sheet and a Print check card opens in the panel. Each warning has Select and a one-click fix:

• Camera: text, a sticker, a shape or an image is under the camera cut-out. Move it clear slides it to the nearest clear spot (shrinking it a little if needed).
• Edge: something important crosses the safe line and will wrap round the side or be trimmed. Move it clear fixes this too.
• See-through (Clear cases only): a layer below 100% opacity, a glow, or soft brush edges. Clear cases print every part either solid or not at all. Make it 100%, Remove glow or Make edges solid fix it.

Big backgrounds and full-size photos are never flagged. The same check appears before anything goes in your bag, with a Move it all clear button.

• Save (Ctrl+S) stores the design privately on your profile. Only you can see it. The status next to the name tells you when there are unsaved changes, and clicking it opens My designs.
• Your work is also kept automatically on your device, so if you close the page, the Lab reopens where you left off ("Restored your last session").
• Share sends the design to the store owner for approval. Add tags to help people find it. Once approved it appears in the Community. You can stop sharing at any time; it stays on your profile.
• Put on a case opens a window with a picture of the real case where you confirm the phone, case type and sides, see the price, and press Add to bag. Open in Photo studio takes it there instead.

• Share: the same as the Share button (useful on small screens).
• New design: starts a blank sheet. You'll be asked first if there are unsaved changes.
• Download Printful print file (PNG): the exact file used to print your case, at 300 DPI.
• My designs: opens your profile.
• Keyboard shortcuts: the full list (or press ?).

The desk bar under the sheet has zoom out / in, the zoom level (click it for 100%) and fit to screen (Ctrl+0). You can also zoom with Ctrl+scroll. Case outline turns the camera cut-out, safe line and MagSafe ring on or off, and Paper lines cycles plain, grid and dots to help you line things up. Neither is ever printed.

On a Mac, use ⌘ instead of Ctrl.

• Let backgrounds and patterns run past every edge. Keep words and faces inside the safe line and away from the camera.
• Use photos at least 1200 px on their short side, and don't stretch small pictures up.
• Check On case from a few angles before you order.
• On Clear cases, use solid colours (100% opacity). Soft glows and see-through layers don't print on clear plastic.
• Very thin lines (under about 3 px) can disappear in print. Go a little bolder.

JPG, PNG or WebP, at least 1200 px on its short side. Portrait (tall) photos fill the case best. The Print quality meter tells you how sharp it will be at your zoom: Excellent, Good, or Low — may blur. If it says Low, zoom out or use a larger photo.

• Drag the photo on the case to move it, scroll or use the Zoom slider to zoom (100–300%).
• For precise moves, click the case and use the arrow keys (hold Shift to move further), and + / − to zoom.
• Re-center puts it back in the middle. Position shows where it sits.
• The photo always covers the whole back, so there are never empty gaps.

• Back, Front and Side: the real case on your phone from each side, in the finish you picked. The case size is shown underneath.
• Position photo (after you upload a photo): a flat view of the back where you drag the photo into place. Print guides there shows the safe line, the camera cut-out and the MagSafe ring.

Under Or choose a design, tap any swatch to put it on the case. The first 25 show straight away; tap +300 to see all 325. Every design is drawn at full print resolution, so it's always sharp.

Tap the Your phone button to open the phone menu (search, tabs and series). Under Case type, types that aren't made for your phone are dashed out, and a note lists the ones that are. Under Sides, choose Wraparound or a colour (see Wraparound and solid sides). The price updates as you choose.

After uploading a photo, Download print file saves the exact PNG used to print your case, at 300 DPI and the right size for your phone and case type. You don't need it to order. It's there if you want a copy.

• Phone picker (top of the page): search, or tap your phone. All phones shows a row of designs for every phone.
• Jump to a phone: the button beside the mood filters opens the phone menu from anywhere on the page.
• In All phones, each phone's row shows 24 designs. Use the arrows to scroll, the See all 325 designs card at the end, or Shop this phone.
• On a single phone's page, designs keep loading as you scroll.

The buttons above the designs filter by mood: Scenic (sunsets, mountains, oceans, night skies), Floral & fruit, Playful (checks, stripes, dots, hearts), Minimal (marble, soft gradients, holographic) and Artsy (terrazzo, Bauhaus, shapes, swirls). The number on each button shows how many designs it has.

Add to bag adds the design as it is, on that phone, in the most popular case type available (usually Snap), with wraparound sides. Customize opens it in the Photo studio so you can change the case type and sides first.

Search by name or tag (try "sunset", "daisy" or "quote"), sort by Newest or Most liked, and use the Phone button to see designs laid out for your phone. More designs load as you scroll. Designs marked Example are by Caseiton Studio. Each one is laid out to fit the phone it's shown on, avoiding that phone's camera.

Your bag is kept on this device, so it's still there if you come back later.

Orders whose cases add up to $99 or more (after any sale) ship free. The bar at the top of your bag shows how close you are. When the shop runs a sale, like Buy 2, get 1 free, it's applied automatically in your bag: the free cases are marked, and the saving shows in your order summary. Only one sale applies per order, and sales don't combine with discount codes; you always get whichever saves you more.

Type your code in the Discount code box and press Apply. The discount shows in the summary before you pay. Some codes need a minimum order. To remove a code, press the button again. Discounts never apply to shipping.

1. Fill in your name, email, phone (optional) and shipping address. You can add a note for the shop.
2. Press Place order and pay. We prepare your print files and create the order.
3. The payment screen opens with your order summary. Pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Link. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see your full card details. If your bank asks you to confirm the payment, follow its steps.
4. You'll land on your order page and get a confirmation email.

Cancelled: the order was stopped before it was made. Refunded: your money has been returned. It can take a few business days to show on your statement. If you weren't expecting either, contact us.

Each case is made to order. Your design is printed in full colour onto the case at 300 DPI and sealed so it won't fade or peel. On Snap and Tough cases it's printed edge to edge and round the sides; on Clear cases only the back is printed.

Very close. The preview uses the real template for your phone and case type. Colours can look slightly different in print than on a bright screen, and anything under the camera cut-out or past the safe line won't print as you see it. That's what the print check is for.

Your case is made after you order, then shipped. You'll see the estimated delivery dates at checkout and on your order page, and a tracking number when it ships.

Contact us with a photo and your order number and we'll make it right.

Message us on your order's page as soon as possible. We can usually change or cancel an order before it goes into production. Once it's being printed it's made just for you, so it can't be changed.
