Finally: it’s time to design some phone cases. Even if you already have a folder full of designs, look through the steps below. You never know where you’ll find your next big idea.

If creating the design itself isn’t your strong suit, that’s okay! Consider working with skilled designers who can help bring your ideas to life. 

Revisit your research 

Refer back to your market research from Step 1. Do your own designs offer something unique or is it hard to tell them apart from the competition? Revisit their social media or store pages to read reviews. What do people love? What turns them off?

Take another look through Google trends and search popular hashtags to see if you can adapt a trending design or get ahead of the curve.

Mock it up

Once you’ve got some ideas, sketch them out on paper or use the Gelato Design Editor to see your image on digital mock-ups. Upload a vector image or PNG to get an idea of how your design looks on a case and how it might change if you switch from a back-only design to a wraparound case.

Order product samples

Once you’re happy with your design, it’s time to order samples from your chosen print on demand supplier to see how it looks in the real world. Review them to ensure you’re happy with all the design elements of your case and confirm the production quality.
