Phone Case of the Month is a monthly series in which we live with, and subsequently review, our time with a phone case. Phone cases are one of our only ways to express individuality with our smartphones, so what do our phone case choices say about us?
I’ve stuck my phone case to all sorts of things over the past couple months, like my bathroom mirror, random windows in bars, laptops, walls, a windshield, other phones, and glass tables. People immediately want to stick my case to the nearest surface once they notice its suction cups. I don’t blame them! But you probably don’t want to touch the cups at this point because who knows what germs live there.
This suction cup case was always my white whale. My friend Ingrid owned a similar case that was baby blue and made by Marc Jacobs for one season. I always wished I could have one, too, but I was stuck with a Samsung Galaxy S6. (Here’s the long tale of how I ended up with an iPhone.)
I immediately thought about Ingrid’s case when I finally got an iPhone. I had loved it. Then we started Circuit Breaker Live and our producer Creighton tasked me with finding strange cases. I told him about my eternal quest for the suction cup case, and he found me a similar one online. I have no idea whether this is a legitimate Marc Jacobs product. Ingrid tells me it’s not, but I want to believe it is. It cost $40.
