Overview of Casetify

In the age of Instagram, it's all about aesthetic. This is what founders Ronald Yeung and Wesley Ng had in mind when they created Casetify in 2011. The Hong Kong based brand started out as a simple idea: making customers' Instagram photos into their own personalized phone cases.

Yeung and Ng later rebranded their company to not only implement Instagram photos, but to encompass a multitude of fashionable and trendy designs on their tech gear. Casetify's mission is to spread self expression, which shows in their vibrantly colored and beautifully patterned case designs. The company is slowly building traction, as Casetify is the fastest growing global tech accessories brand, reaching 1 in 7 millenials.

With their headquarters located in the star studded land of Los Angeles, California, it's no wonder that their phone cases have been worn and inspired by a few celebrities. Are Casetify cases good? We'll separate quality and hype to answer that question.

Casetify Custom Monogram Ultra Impact Case

The classic clear case is an iPhone must have. There's no shame in going back to the basics, but you want some coverup to prevent the risk of scratches. But let's be real, the clear case can come off as boring, and nobody cites it as the most protective case for your phone. Introducing the Custom Monogram Case where you can have the best of both worlds.

You can have anything written on this clear case, which makes it a perfect candidate for a thoughtful gift. The Custom Monogram Case text is entirely customizable in terms of design and color. Your chosen text can display in white, cream, yellow, brown, pink, purple, red, blue, green, blue, black or gray; with a complimentary drop shadow for some extra visual contrast. Customers can choose how the text will look on the phone case, ranging from a patterned diagonal design, stacked in four columns, just the single text, or featuring vertical stripes.

The Custom Monogram Case comes in different protective casings such as the impact case, the ultra impact case or a sophisticated leather case. Depending on the phone model and the protective cases, you can expect to pay as much as $55. This monogram ultra case specifically retails for $54, but you can currently get it discounted for $45.
