Our postal services are designed to cater to various needs, ensuring that your orders reach you in a timely manner.

Let's delve into the specifics of each shipping option:

Designing a personalised phone case can be a fun and creative process, but it's understandable that you might encounter some challenges along the way. Here are some tips to help you overcome any difficulties you may be facing:

Choose a High-Quality Image: Start by selecting a high-resolution image for your phone case design. This ensures that your design will be clear and crisp when printed onto the case.

Keep it Simple: Sometimes less is more when it comes to design. Avoid cluttering your phone case with too many elements or intricate details. A simple, clean design often has the most impact.

Experiment with Layouts: Don't be afraid to experiment with different layouts and compositions for your design. Try placing your image in different positions on the phone case or adding text or graphics to enhance the overall look.

Remember, designing a personalized phone case should be a fun and enjoyable process, so don't get discouraged if you encounter challenges along the way. Take your time, explore different ideas, and most importantly, have fun with it!

We use both terms interchangeably. You can upload photos, add text, and choose layouts. If you need specific brand or Pantone colours for bulk/wholesale, add that request in the notes and we’ll advise.

Use a high-resolution image (ideally 2000px+ on the shortest side). Avoid screenshots or heavily compressed social downloads. If your photo looks blurry in the preview, it’ll likely print that way—try the original file or a clearer image.

It depends on the case type. Our “3D” styles wrap the design around the edges; slim/clear/tough styles usually print on the back panel only. The designer shows what will be printed—check the safe area to keep faces and key details inside.

Yes. Use the on-site designer to add text, shapes, or multiple photos. You can drag to reposition, pinch to resize on mobile, and toggle grid/snap to line things up. Need help? Message support and we’ll nudge things pixel-perfect.

Our tough case has a shock-absorbing inner layer plus a rigid outer shell. It’s designed for daily drops and knocks. If you want maximum grip, pick a matte finish. For clarity and colour pop, go glossy.

No. We use device-specific moulds with camera, mic, and port cut-outs. Button covers (where used) remain responsive. If you have a rare variant, mention it at checkout so we double-check the fit.

We lightly optimise for print (exposure and colour). If you want a precise crop or removals (e.g., date stamp), leave a note in checkout. For complex edits, contact support before ordering.

You can, but social platforms compress images which can reduce print sharpness. If possible, upload the original file from your phone or camera for the cleanest results.

We typically print within 1–2 working days. UK delivery is usually 1–3 working days after dispatch. Need it sooner? Choose a faster shipping option at checkout.

If we’ve made an error, we’ll fix it. If the preview showed cropping or safe-area trim, the print will follow that. Always keep key details within the safe zone and read any warnings in the designer before ordering.

All clear TPU will slowly yellow with UV exposure. Our clear impact cases use higher-grade material to slow this process, but if you want zero yellowing, consider a non-clear style.

Yes. We handle corporate, team, influencer, and retail orders. See our wholesale info page for tiers and lead times, or contact us with quantities, devices, and deadlines.

Because each case is made to order, we can’t accept change-of-mind returns. If there’s a print or fit issue, contact support and we’ll put it right.

Yes, for our snap, tough and wallet style cases. Attachment strength varies by thickness and finish. If MagSafe is essential, pick a magsafe compatible product or a snap case for the strongest hold.

We keep moulds current for popular releases. If your model isn’t listed yet, message us and we’ll check availability.

If printing hasn’t started, we can usually help. Contact support ASAP with your order number and the change you need.
