Durability?

The design is great! All the designs on this website are beautiful artworks and I have no issue with how they look. However, I do have an issue with the durability of the phone case. Within 3 weeks of having this case, it has already cracked and snapped in 3 places. Mainly the weakest parts like the corners. To be fair I have dropped it a few times but i feel a phone case should be durable. Little bit disappointing as I do love the design of it. Highly recommend if you’re not clumsy like me! I do also realise now that there are armoured cases which probably would’ve been a better choice for me

Thanks for the honest review, Bethany! Great note on how the colour reads in person - we'll keep sharpening our product photos. Chuffed you still love it. - Team ArtsyPod

You're a legend, Ella! Stoked it's holding up to real life - that's exactly what we build them for. Thanks for backing a little Darwin business and the artists behind the designs - Team ArtsyPod
