Wildflower Cases

Sydney and Devon Carlson cannot contain their excitement while modeling a newly-released case design, in collaboration with Sandy Liang.

Our prized possessions accompany us everywhere we go, enabling efficient communication, facilitating daily rituals, and providing the best entertainment! The least we can do is dress them up in a protective suit to ensure that their intricate functions remain unscathed. The responsibility of choosing this special suit lies within the hands of us cell phone owners. Are you seeking a phone case that will rescue your device in the face of a 50 foot drop, or do you value the aesthetic of its appearance instead? Whether you seek minimalistic designs or vibrant patterns, a case is essential to your phone’s safety and survival. Here are 2 of the most prevalent phone case brands that respect the balance between cell phone protection and style.

Casetify is a renowned phone case brand that can be recognized nationwide due to its esteemed collaborations, celebrity shout outs, and premium quality. Kylie Jenner was seen rocking their mirror case with the iconic Casetify logo encircling the camera lens. The brand has collaborated with prestigious franchises, leagues, and companies such as Coca-Cola, Netflix, and the NBA. Casetify operates two headquarters that are located in Hong Kong, home to CEO Wes Ng, and Los Angeles (Casetify). As an individual who perceives phone cases as outlets of artistic expression and stylish living, Ng was inspired to align his creations with media trends after examining the unsatisfactory options that followed the iPhone launch in 2011. Product evaluations conclude that the 6x Military Grade Standard case, including the addition of “Bounce Corners”, can withstand up to 21.3 feet drops and resist over 156 hits from various angles. Kelsey Ikemoto (11) says, “I am a loyal Casetify customer because its cases are cute and have saved my phone from multiple drops.”

Wildflower Cases have redefined the standards of our phone case industry by introducing its sleek yet protective case designs, surrounded by a black frame and embellished with the company’s logo. Siena Sweiss (11) says, “I have never cracked my phone thanks to my Wildflower case.” Each case is designed by founder Michelle Carlson and her two daughters, Sydney and Devon. Just like Casetify, Wildflower Cases blossomed from a shortage of stylish phone cases, inspiring Michelle Carlson to craft her daughters’ cases from scrap materials around the house. The encounter that sparked the birth of her company took place in a Los Angeles restaurant, where Sydney and Devon met singer and actress Miley Cyrus. Cyrus was drawn to Devon’s phone case and urged the family to sell some online immediately. The company continues to highlight women representation and independence within the business field. The Wildflower Cases has collaborated with media icons such as Gracie Abrams, Cindy Kimberly, Charli XCX, and Emma Chamberlain (Wildflower Cases).

Personally, I have owned phone cases from both of these brands and can attest to their satisfactory quality and captivating aesthetic! Casetify primarily specializes in drop protection and additional safety features that maintain a case’s minimal weight and sleek feel. Conversely, Wildflower Cases satisfies the latest trends and matches a certain aesthetic. If you value practicality over appearance, Casetify is the perfect phone case brand for you. However, if you want a phone case that expresses a specific style aligning with the media’s fads, Wildflower Cases will better suit your preferences.
