How to Start a Phone Case Business

Today, there are more mobile devices than there are people in the world.

That means there’s ample opportunity for you to grab a slice of the growing market for smartphone accessories.

Phone cases, in particular, are easy to source and appeal to people who are looking to inject some individuality or extra functionality into the one device they can’t live without.

Building a business around making and selling your own phone cases comes with a variety of benefits:

• It’s easy to hold inventory and ship due to their small size.

• They’re relatively low cost to produce.

• You can sell them both online and in an offline kiosk.

• Print-on-demand to start with lower risk or buy in bulk for better margins.

• Every new phone model offers a new opportunity to cater to the 44% of smartphone owners who upgrade every 2 years.

But as with any business where the barrier to entry is low, there’s going to be competition. However, all you need to succeed is a piece of this massive market.

The following is a guide that answers common questions about starting a phone case business, such as:

• What types of phone cases are there?

• Folio cases have a cover that folds over the front of your phone to protect the screen from dust and scratches, and give the phone the appearance of a small notebook.

• Some even have wallet-like features, such as the ability to store cash or credit cards, while others can be turned into a stand to prop up your phone.

• You’ll typically find these in a leathery material and they will likely cost more than the slim cases but also appear to more practical consumers.(From shopify)
