It’s time to show off your personality and transform your boring, copycat phone! Here are 10 creative, fun phone decorations ideas to inspire you:

Your mobile phone is like an extension of yourself: it’s something you bring with you every day and use often. And as your phone ages with you, you may feel like it’s in dire need of an update. But instead of buying a new phone, consider adding a fun phone accessory, or changing up a few things to get it looking its best.

If your phone is feeling dull and boring, here are ten tried and tested ways o give it new life:

1. Decorate your phone cover:

Elegant and creative phone skins and protective wraps can completely transform the look of your phone. You’ll find plenty of online stores selling them, no matter what phone model or unit you have.

If you love arts and crafts, you can also try some DIY ways decorate your phone cover. Here are some tips on how to decorate your phone cover:

• Spray paint on lace. This is a design that’ll make your phone look eye-catching, classy, and elegant. All you need to do is buy a plain phone cover, then spray paint it black. Take a small lace to cover the phone case when it dries, and spray paint gold or silver on it. 

• Starry, starry phone case. Do you love stars? Make a phone case full of golden star-shaped sequins. You can either cover one part of your phone or the entire phone cover, depending on how much bling you can tolerate.

• Stick a jewelry charm on your phone case. A very quick way to dress up a boring mobile phone case is to look for a charm of a bracelet or accessory you’re no longer using and stick it on your case. The 3D effect will make it look so chic.

• Cover it with washi tapes and lace. If you’ve got cool and fun designs of washi tapes at home, take a plain protective case and cover it with different designs of washi tapes alternately. You can even add some small gems for some added bling.

• 90s charms and stickers. After adding some glitters to your phone case, you can make it look livelier by sticking some 90s charms and stickers. These metallic stickers look best on a transparent case.

• Tattoo case. Remember those colorful press-on tattoos you loved as a kid? They’re still around, and there’s another place to stick them apart from your skin. Dress up a plain-looking phone with a tattoo. When it’s done, cover it with micro mist spray to make it look better and stick permanently.

2. Attach screen protectors:

Screen protectors may seem like a boring idea compared to the other items on this list, but it’s still a good idea. A screen protector protects your phone from scratches and damage. When you use your phone a lot for texting or entertainment like social media and mobile games, you’ll also want to make its screen better to touch and hold without accumulating finger prints. If you’d like to add more style to your screen, find and purchase screen protectors with corner designs.

3. Add smart tags:

Smart tags are fun to have on your phone. Plus, they’re functional and unique. These are Bluetooth-powered tags that make it easier to find your phone, should it get lost. This is extremely handy for those who may have a bad history of losing mobile phones or accidentally leaving it lying around.

4. Use an external battery pack:

Yes, power banks are pretty common, but there are more options now to choose from. You’ll find external battery packs that are already built into your phone case. Yes, it’s going to make your phone feel a little bit heavier and bulkier, but you can’t deny how much more convenient it is. Anytime your phone needs a quick recharge, you can do so in an instant. These external battery packs are available both for Apple and Android users.

5. Find a wallet case:

If you don’t fancy or need an external battery pack that’s directly attached to your phone, there’s another alternative in the form of a wallet case. As its name implies, it’s a phone case which also functions as a wallet. This takes away the need for you to scramble as you head out the door looking for cash or where you’ve placed your wallet. It’s also perfect for those of you always on-the-go.

Just be yourself:

Whichever of these creative, fun phone decorations ideas you decide on to update your boring Android or iPhone — from decorative pieces to functional attachments — be sure to stick to one rule: always be yourself! Your phone is always with you, so you’ll want it to reflect the special person that you are.
