Phone cases with a name

A name, a date, a little meaning.

Photo phone case with space for a personal message

Your initials, a nickname only your friends use, or a date you want to remember. A few well-placed words can make a favorite photo feel even more personal, and a name on a plain colored case is a clean design on its own.

Choosing the words

Short works best: a name, initials, or a date. A long sentence has to be set small to fit, and small letters are hard to read on the back of a phone. The designer has a few text styles, from a bold poster letter to a handwritten script.

Making the text readable

Try light lettering over a dark background, or dark lettering over a pale area. Keep the text away from the camera opening and the edges, where the case curves. Without a photo, choose a background color for the whole case and place the name where you like.

Check before ordering

Read the spelling once more before confirming your order. Your case is made with the words you choose, exactly as they appear in the preview. Step-by-step help is in how to design a custom phone case.

Which case to choose

Tough suits everyday protection, Snap keeps the phone slim, and Clear lets the phone's own color show at the sides. Models made with a magnet ring also list MagSafe-compatible versions. Compare the case types.

Questions

Can I order a case with only a name and no photo?

Yes. Choose a background color for the case, add your text, and add it to the cart. A photo is optional.

How long can the text be?

Keep it to one short line, such as a name, initials or a date. Longer text has to be small to fit and becomes hard to read.

Can I change the font and color?

Yes. The designer offers a few text styles, sizes and colors, and you can drag the text anywhere on the case.
