Where to buy designer / high-end smartphone cases?

All phones look basically the same today - shiny black rectangular items. The differentiator (aesthetically) is mainly the cover. I've been on the lookout for premium / high-end covers for a while, but haven't had any luck.

This is the one I currently use, but was looking for something more high-end & stylish.

Any leads? Thank you .

I like comics and superheroes so not only for my casual T-shirts but also for my phone covers (OnePlus), I regularly shop at The Souled Store https://www.thesouledstore.com/mobile-covers

Affordable and cool looking cases they have, and the kid love it too

GTO, Spigen has a great collection of phone cases available for a wide variety of phones. They are regarded as some of the best in the business. Please try them out. You could also look at Hamee or CrazyWears, but I'm not sure if they have it for the S9 or not.

Strongly recommend the Spigen case (link). Have used their cases for god knows how long and they have served me very well, both in terms of aesthetics and protection. Renowned brand for cases across all major phones, my top pick always!

I am using the Samsung S9 plus.
I have a "Spigen" cover which is one of the best in terms of strength. Looks depends on personal taste.

Here's mine which I am using since 2 years: https://www.amazon.in/Spigen-Tough-A...gen+S9+&sr=8-4

There are about 3-4 more on Amazon. My entire family uses Spigen cases for their phones as they are available for most of the common phones.

You can also check their website: https://www.spigen.com/

No guys, looking for even more high-end stuff than Spigen etc. Here are some pics I'd saved from Google.

How about designer cases in metal? Glass? Carbon fibre?

Try looking out for Porsche Design products. Although I'm not very sure whether they sell phone cases alone. However, I believe that glass cases are rare to come by and will not be of much use in case of a drop. Real Carbon-Fibre cases are found very rarely and the only way to procure them might be through a dealer (car/case manufacturer) .
You could also look at Dbrand for customisable stuff.

Dbrand offers grip and skins for all major phones. You can customize the grip as well. Pretty good stuff as I have seen them sponsor many YouTube videos.

Sadly, not available for my Samsung S10 lite as it is Asia specific (has Snapdragon).

But for iPhones, Samsung, One Plus, this is what I would buy.

Why not TBHP merchandised Phone covers?

Any way... Dbrand Grip case is very good. They offer good grip, good safety from falls, and the back is customisable with many finishes. The price tag is on the higher side but it's worth it.

Website: https://dbrand.com/

I'm one who doesn't put covers and cases on my phones. No tempered glasses either. I Don't like to make my already big phones bigger. All my smartphones so far were in stock condition. For my 3 day old Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G phone, I wanted to do something different. I ordered a phone Skin from dbrand. Unlike the cover skin which is for the back side of the cover, this phone skin wraps the entire phone.

I ordered the Teardown skin which dbrand has made in partnership with Zack "JerryRigEverything" Nelson.

Before

After


I'm aware this may not be for everyone. My wife is saying it looks messy but I like how it makes the phone look transparent and unique. When I get bored I'll remove it. I like the stock mystic bronze colour of the phone too.

Dbrand ships from Canada. My order was delivered in under 10 days.

These will be quite difficult to source as they will never be mass produced or sold online.

I'm going with the public opinion and recommending Spigen. Has been a happy user for more than 2 years!

Honestly, phones are the most beautiful looking pieces of hardware. No case match the colour & finish of the glass/aluminum back as most brands use a lot of resources in designing the aesthetics and perfecting the manufacturing. So, try exploring a (thicker) bumper case. https://shop.rhinoshield.io/shop/sam...10-bumper-case

However, there are obvious disadvantages to this type of case.

When using the term Hign-End/Luxury in the smartphone market it's most often for phones starting with an "i". I have hardly seen Samsung or other equivalent phones getting the same kind of treatment for availability of accessories.

Every luxury brand out there makes an iphone case. Many even make bespoke iphones in gold or other precious metals. There are luxury cases starting from $200-500 with no limit of how much one can spend on cases.
One such brand is https://goldenconcept.com/ not only have they launched iphones cases in leather, they make them in marble too. They also have just launched cases for Apple watches, in case someone is interested, check them out.
