In my March Favorites post I talked about my Lilly Pulitzer Phone Case with Card Holder. I loved , loved, LOVED that thing! The print was so springy and cute - not to mention the practicality of that card holder!
Well, I wanted to share my dismay when I noticed that the print was rubbing off of the case. At first it was just a little wear - so I made sure to take extra care of it. I didn't jam it into small spaces, I didn't drop it, and I did my best to make sure my hands were as oil free as possible... but alas - it continued to wear off.
Honestly, I am super bummed out. I expected the lifespan of this case to be a lot longer than 2 months. No, I didn't pay a fortune for it - but I also did not buy it for it to only last a short while. Were my expectations too high? What is the average lifespan of a phone case if it isn't an Otterbox or something super protective like that?
On the bright side, I found this super cute case by Tribeca at TJMax today. It is definitely my style - but lacks the convenience of the card holder - and is not my beloved Lilly Pulitzer.
Share your cell phone case fails or successes in the comments!

Love the cell phone cover, sucks that it's rubbing off. I go through cell phone covers all the time, I just go on ebay since it's cheaper than the store to buy them. The cell phone cover I have one of the handles broke that holds the cell phone in place, the other 3 parts hold it but it will always come out and drop LOL. I keep forgetting to get a new one but I hope you get a amazing cover soon :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked a whole lot on Ebay! I usually look on Etsy or TJ Max.
