The short answer

A transparent flexible case, printed on the back with your photo or an AI drawing, cut for your exact iPhone or Samsung model. $29.00, shipping included. The preview shows the real crop on your model before you pay — which matters more here than on any other object, because a case is small and held close.

The one personalised object that gets looked at every day

Most personalised gifts are used occasionally — a mug in the morning, a tote at the market, a framed print on a wall you stop seeing. A phone case is in the hand a hundred times a day, at arm's length, under good light. That makes it the most visible thing you can personalise, and the least forgiving: every compromise you accept in the preview, you will see for a year.

Pick the model first, not the image

Apple or Samsung, then the exact model. The printable area is cut for that specific body, so the camera opening and the side buttons are where they belong. If a model is not in the list, it is because we cannot guarantee the cutouts for it — we would rather not sell a case that does not fit than take the order.

What survives at that size, and what does not

Works: one face, one animal, one object, a flat colour with a first name, a drawn portrait with a clean outline.
Does not work: a group photo, a landscape with a small subject, a dark photo, a screenshot of text. All of them become a grey smudge at 7 cm wide.
The reliable trick: crop hard before uploading. If the subject does not already fill the frame on your screen, it will not fill the case.
No photo: describe it and let the AI draw it. At this size a line drawing or a flat graphic style beats a photograph, because it stays readable.

The material, plainly

Flexible transparent TPU. It absorbs a drop, it grips rather than slides, and it does not go yellow the way cheap silicone does after a summer. The design is printed on the back under a protective layer, so a pocket full of keys does not wear it off.

As a gift

It is carried every day, which is exactly why a joke is a bad idea: what is funny in December is still there in June. A name, a pet, a date, a place — those age. And if you want the same image on something else, it also goes on a mug, a tote bag or a framed print. For the season, see the Christmas gift ideas and the Secret Santa page under €25.

Questions we get

Which phones are covered? Apple and Samsung, across the current and recent ranges. You pick the brand then the exact model before designing — the print area is cut to that model, so the camera opening and the buttons land where they should. If your model is missing from the list it is because we cannot guarantee the cutouts for it, and we would rather not sell you a case that does not fit.

What is the case actually made of? A flexible transparent TPU shell: it absorbs a drop, it grips in the hand, and it does not yellow the way cheap silicone does. The design is printed on the back, under a protective layer, so it does not rub off in a pocket.

Will my photo look good at that size? A phone case is small and held close, which is the opposite of a poster: fine detail survives, but a wide group shot does not. The ones that work are a face, a pet, a single object, a flat colour with a name. The preview shows the real crop on your exact model before you pay — if it looks cramped there, it will look cramped in your hand.

I do not have a photo I want to use. Describe it in one sentence and the AI draws it in about fifteen seconds, in one of eleven styles. A line drawing or a flat graphic style suits a case better than a photograph, because it stays readable at that size. Three tries are free and no account is needed.

Is it a good gift? It is one of the few personalised objects the person carries every day and looks at a hundred times. That cuts both ways: a joke that is funny in December is still there in June. A name, a pet or a date ages better than a punchline.
