Cell Phone Cover - How Can You Not Love This?

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/441986150905997031/

I like my phone cover better than the original in some ways.

I'm having fun making the cases and they are slowly getting re-pins.

Are you having success or positive thoughts about phone cases? I would love to hear your story.

I agreed. Certain images take on a new life when placed on a product that freely moves through life. Images that might not look as good on the wall but are surprisingly cool on a product. I noticed this at a museum gift shop recently. Saw the painting on the wall, then saw it on a bunch of products in the gift shop and it took on a new life.

I sold a few recently:

That is a seriously cute phone case, Sharon!! Edward, I like yours, too. I'm rethinking my involvement in phone cases (I haven't done any).

Do any of you create/modify images specifically to market for cell phone covers? If so how successful are you with them? I'll admit I am clueless when it comes this topic, my only phone is an old pre-paid flip phone and the people I spend time with either just have a solid color cover or none at all.

Mildred you go behind the scenes to bulk edit prices.and put in your prices for pillows and phone cases.

I have a gallery of cell phone cases but for the most part buyers are just selecting images they like and resizing. Its always a surprise.

I don't push low profit margin products. I'd rather sell a print for $50 profit then try to sell 10 phone cases or duvets. The sales I've gotten are just random.

David - I don't get it either but then again I'm not a young person flittering around town where one's cell phone is their life. My son bought a Chromebook for $200 and then bought stickers/skins for it that cost $20. I'm like -- what? Why add 10% to the cost of the thing?

Very nice Sharon. Good work. I've never joined pinterest because I had never seen photos linked with a website before and wasn't sure how to get them to FAA. But I see you have a link on it. Maybe I should rethink that.

Thanks for the nice comments. Pinterest works well for me at getting views to my work. Hopefully sales will follow. I use a lot of my own re-pinning and Viralwoot to get a lot more action. Time will tell...

It looks GREAT as a phone cover! I think I might agree with you that it's even better than as a full frame print.

I love how yours looks on the phone.

I sold three phone cases last month.
A VW grill. Which looks awesome as a phone case.

An abstract water image. Also looks awesome as a phone case.

And one with a horse image on it. I love that we can have out art on phone cases. It makes each phone so unique.

I need to get my pintrest account going. I've sold pieces, even originals because of views from pintrest. Even a few liscencing requests.

I thought selling celery sticks as a phone cover was strange

until I sold this one today,

You never know what people will want on their phone cover.

LOL, Barbara! Strange is an understatement.

Sharon, I do love it!!! Wouldn't a series of locks and fixtures images on cellphones be cool? Just a thought! I'm not doing photography right now, or I'd do it :)

Great phone covers everyone... :-) I love how this cow comes out on a cover: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/426786502161780641/ ;-)

I do have a number of photos of locks. Off to process. Love the cow, Matthias.
