What it is for
A phone case is the object someone holds more than any other, so a design on one is seen many times a day.
Pick the exact model; cases are not interchangeable between phone generations.
Dye sublimation
Sublimation prints the design onto transfer paper with dye ink; heat then turns the dye into a gas that bonds into a polyester coating or polyester fibre.
Colour becomes part of the surface rather than a layer on top, so it is vivid and does not crack or peel. It cannot print white: white in a design shows as the colour of the item itself, which is why sublimated items are white or pale.
There is no texture at all — on fabric you cannot feel the print, and on a mug it is under a smooth coating.
Designs that suit it
A tall, narrow picture — a portrait photo, a painting, a pattern. The camera cut-out sits top left on most phones, so keep faces away from it.
The print area is on the front: 1,284 × 1,977 pixels, about 4.3 × 6.6 in at 300 dpi — a tall, portrait area. The studio generates the design at that size, so it is printed from a full-resolution file rather than an enlarged preview.
Full-colour photographs, paintings and edge-to-edge patterns. Less suited: designs that rely on white ink, and important detail right at seams, handles or edges where the transfer wraps.

Printed in North America, so it ships without an overseas leg and no import duties apply within North America.

Before you order
How long does the Slim Cases take to arrive?
To Canada, 10–30 business days, with first-item shipping at $11.77 CAD; to the US, 2–5 business days ($8.21 CAD). It is printed to order in Herkimer, NY, United States, and the window counts from the day you order, printing included.
Can I put a photo on the Slim Cases?
Yes. Sublimation reproduces photographs in full colour with no texture. White areas print as the item's own colour, so a photo with a white background blends into it. The print file is 1284 × 1977 pixels on the front, so a photo should be at least that size to print sharply.
What sizes does the Slim Cases come in?
8 sizes: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro Max.
When should I order the Slim Cases for Christmas?
With standard shipping, by November 13 to Canada and December 18 to the US. Those dates count this product's longest delivery window back from December 25 in business days. Express shipping at checkout, where it is offered, shortens the window.
How do I look after the Slim Cases?
It is sublimation-printed, and that sets the care. Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. No abrasive cleaners or solvents on the printed face.
