New year, new phone. Well not quite, but it can feel like it with a new case. Have you got to the point in your phone plan where you really want an update? Here’s a quick hack to make it look brand new: get a new case or accessory! We know it’s not groundbreaking, but it will add a little fun while you wait for the next upgrade.

Walking down any hall in the Centre you’ll find a spot to upgrade your phone case or pick up a new accessory. If you’re looking for something functional and durable or more fun and flirty there’s no shortage of variety. Here are some of our favourite styles and brands to bring new life to your phone.

Durable:
Spigen, Life Proof, Incipio, Blu Element and Otterbox - heavy duty and long-lasting, these brands accommodate almost all cell phone types and sizes, they also come with a variety of accessories built in like stands, cordless charging (i.e. MagSafe) and pop sockets

Playful and fun:
Laut, Sonix, Kate Spade, blackweb - fun and flirty designs to add some personality in the palm of your hand.

Minimalist:
Decoded, Native Union, Apple, - Neutral tones and soft textures make for a high-end feel without breaking the bank.

If you already have a case you love try a new pop socket or grip. Accessories such as cordless chargers, magnetic holders for bikes and car vents also make hands-free commuting that much safer. Now if we’re talking about non-essential items then we can’t leave out a mini podcast (or TikTok) microphone or a dangly charm to make you really stand out.

Screen protectors are a given if you want to avoid annoying cracks if your phone accidentally gets dropped. If your phone happens to already have a crack or needs to be fixed we have Cell Mechanics and The Phone Shop who can repair it and make it good as new!
