Aghast with all the options available on the market, I only knew that I did not want a black case (again) as it's so much harder to find my phone in my purse. After giving up on my hunt in the malls, I got inspired to see what I had on my last phone - it was a black Incipio box and served me well for probably 10 years. When I saw this design online, I liked the motif as it was similar to one that I saw at the mall, but this one ALSO had an ombre colour beauty to it which was a lovely bonus! BUT most of all, I put trust in my previous purchase of Incipio as I had NO confidence in the one at the mall to protect my new phone, so brand reputation played a huge part in making this a swift decision, especially as I am NOT a regular online shopper. It was a risk worth taking and I am completely satisfied with my new Incipio phone case. The clear plastic sides make it stand out in my purse (NB my phone is grey) and the phone feels secure in my hand.
How on earth are you supposed to be able to send a photo of your phone? That's a funny request! But I'm sure there's way with another phone. Just glad that I don't have to worry about a new phone or case for many years...that's the plan anyway!
