So she says you can choose sturdy cases, sleek design ones, but she goes with the only option se has, normal soft case, for the only one option of bussiness se has from the next three options - print on demand. Very clever!

I found a general video but I'm trying to find a phone case manufacturer and am having a hell of a time

[@learnwithshopify]

This would be the video right here: bit.ly/3T02sXg, but as you mention it's a general one and doesn't specifically discuss phone case manufacturers. Which websites have you tried so far, when searching for a manufacturer? Are you interested in the Print on Demand method too, or would you prefer to purchase an existing phone case model to resell under your own label? We have this great blog: bit.ly/3F4IWTZ that accompanies our video, which you can have a read of too if you'd like. I also recommend checking out our help guide here: bit.ly/3F9iDfb, as it includes a couple of supplier directories that you can look into.

[@blearymusic5078]

@@learnwithshopify just general searching around (and matchory but it's unhelpful so far), but yeah I'm looking for a manufacturer of a custom design from a 3D file.

[@learnwithshopify]

It might be worth reaching out to different forums online too, such as our Shopify Community Forums: bit.ly/3luwFyq, to see if the wider Community has any suggestions for you. We did come across this one on our end: bit.ly/3FcllAS, which could be one to take a closer look at if you haven't already seen it!

Printify and printful having only iPhone phone case? How can I get other brand too? Any alternative?

[@learnwithshopify]

Hi there! Thanks for getting in touch. Printful and Printify both offer a variety of products like garments, accessories, canvasses, books, etc. You can check out our guide which highlights a list of the top print-on-demand services: utm.guru/ufn8i. You’ll have to carefully consider the ones you choose based on the products you want to create, where you’ll be shipping them, and the retail prices you want to offer, among other factors. Let us know how it goes!

You mentioned a link to a sublimation kit but I don’t see any links in the description section

[@Natalie.Camara]

What if I want to do print on demand as a form to have all my cases customized but I want to purchase from a manufacturer in bill so it’s cheaper? Wouldn’t it cost more to buy cases individually everytime someone places an order?

[@learnwithshopify]

Hi, Natalie. Great question! Purchasing products in bulk could prove to be more cost-effective. However, the main benefit of working with a print-on-demand supplier is that you do not have to spend money on inventory or worry about fulfillment. We suggest doing some more research to see what method works best for your business!

[@learnwithshopify]

Hi there, Kirstin! Are you using a supplier to create your phone cases? If so, they may have a tool when you import the product to Shopify that puts your desired design on it. I recommend reaching out to them to ask! Additionally, you can also order some examples of your phone cases, and take your own product photos, and then use those for your listings.

Thank you for this info! I already have a Shopify store and I sell sleek modern-looking iPhone cases that are clear, but with a little color on the side. I am definitely aiming for the design enthusiast as well as people who are into accessories. I'm already on socials (Facebook/Instagram). Right now, I've just been trying to find influencers who are into modern/neutral/minimalist fashion, but I haven't had any luck in sales yet. Do you have any ideas on how to target the enthusiast audience?

[@learnwithshopify]

Glad to hear you've narrowed in on a target audience! Sounds like it's time to do some marketing. If Instagram is your main social platform, we have a ton of resources available to help you strategize your approach. Do you currently have much of a following or are you just getting started?

is there any way to design the shape of the case? Is that possible? Anyone knows?

[@learnwithshopify]

Hi there, thanks for getting in touch! I presume you are referring to the shape of phone cases? What shapes were you considering?

[@qwerasdfhjkio]

@@learnwithshopify Yeah I mean the actual shape of the case. I dropped some links but I think they got deleted. but basically for the S22 ultra there are a lot of cases in which the camera doesn't get covered properly, and it only gets covered if you buy an official case from Samsung usually. Would be a bit easier if I could show you but it's fine, I hope I made sense lol

[@learnwithshopify]

Interesting idea! There may be ways to customize these cases, but you would want to speak to your case supplier about this possibility. They would be able to give you all the information you need about their cases matching the correct measurements for the S22 Ultra. In my personal experience, when you're first getting started with a business and have questions about the products you're planning on offering, I find it's a good idea to order a sample product yourself to see if it matches the quality and measurements you're looking for. I've had to do this a few times myself with different printed products I was having made by a partner.
