How to DIY a Totally Unique iPhone Case

Kristy Korcz — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:59:02 PST

There are so many iPhone cases out there to choose from, but if you change your style with the seasons (or tire of your case after only a few weeks), then this iPhone case DIY is for you.

By snatching up a clear iPhone case - such as the clear Moshi case that is both slim and strong - you can customize the back of the case with many different materials and patterns. Style blogger Maegan Tintari put together three different looks for her iPhone using a peacock feather (my favorite), scrapbook paper, and photos, just by slipping each between her iPhone and the clear case. It will take some handiwork if you plan on using paper since you'll need to cut it out to be the correct shape and size, but you'll spend just $25 for one case and have endless styling options. Saving money, saving materials, and keeping your phone on the cutting edge of fashion? It's a win-win!

LEGO-Inspired Block Case Is Geek Chic

Kids at heart will love the Connect Design Block Case ($29) for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. Not only does this rubber case look like a giant LEGO block, but it comes with a moveable LEGO-like piece to keep your camera lens covered, keep your earphone cords organized, and even act as a stand to keep your phone upright so you can watch videos.

For $29 bucks, I think that's a steal.

Mobius Rechargeable Battery Adds Solar Power to iPhone 4

Inching closer to an alternatively powered world, Etón Corporation debuted today the Mobius rechargeable battery iPhone 4 case with a solar panel ($80). First previewed at this year's CES event, the battery case with a monocrystal solar panel requires only one hour of time in the sun to get 25 minutes of talk time, 20 minutes of Internet use, 35 minutes of video playback, and over two hours of audio playback.

For tech addicts on the go and often away from any sort of charging option, the convenient part of Mobius is you can choose when to use the extra battery power stored in the solar panel. With a USB connection, you can also charge the old-fashioned way via computer and sync with iTunes at the same time. Let your iPhone bask in some vitamin D.
