Phone case gifts by personality
The quickest way to choose a design for someone else is to stop thinking about cases and start thinking about the person. Most people fall roughly into one of a handful of types, and each type has a part of our catalog that suits them. Find the description that fits, then look at the picks underneath.

The romantic
They keep flowers on the table, save pressed petals in books and notice when you change your hair. Florals are the obvious fit, but pick carefully: romantics usually prefer soft, painterly blooms over loud patterns. Cherry blossom on a warm peach ground, a cluster of peonies, or pink wisteria falling across teal all suit this person.
The animal lover
Their camera roll is mostly their pet, and they stop to look at every dog on the street. Choose a single animal with personality rather than a busy pattern. The snowy owl and the red panda are friendly and bright, the otter floating on calm water is gentle, and the corgi portrait is for the person who has opinions about corgis.
The outdoorsy one
They plan weekends around trails and always know the forecast. Painterly landscapes suit them: a snowy peak above cloud, a pine-covered slope fading into mist, a sunset glowing behind a mountain. These designs are printed on Samsung Galaxy cases, so check their phone first; the product page lists the models available.
The loud one
They like colour, pattern and things that start conversations. Go for bold stained-glass animals or saturated art. The octopus in midnight-blue glass, the peacock in purple, and the tiger in violet and indigo are all strong statements.
The quiet minimalist
They own five things and all of them are well made. Choose a design with a lot of breathing room: a single branch, one line-art animal on a pale ground, or a mountain on white. The less there is on the case, the more likely it fits their taste.
The night owl
They do their best thinking after midnight and prefer the lights low. Dark grounds with one source of light work well: wildflowers under a small moon, botanicals on charcoal, a jellyfish glowing in deep water.
The busy parent
Their phone is a calendar, a camera and a remote control, and it gets handed to small children more often than they would like. Give them something calm and cheerful that does not need explaining: a garden cottage covered in flowers, a puffin on a cliff, or wildflowers on a warm cream background. It is a small thing that is just for them, which is often the point.
The bookworm
They read on the train, in the bath and in queues, usually on their phone. Choose something with a storybook feel, the kind of image that could sit on a book cover: a fox in an autumn forest, a stag standing in mist, or a koi swirling through gold. Quiet colour works better than neon for this person.
When they fit two types
Most people do. When that happens, choose the type that shows up in what they buy for themselves rather than what they talk about. Someone who talks about hiking but dresses in florals will probably enjoy the floral more every day. If you still cannot decide, the gift finder lets you combine who they are, their style and their phone, and gives you a shortlist.
