It\u2019s common to see laptops and water bottles covered in stickers, but then a boring black phone in a plain case next to it. Why don\u2019t we give the same attention to these devices that are always with us?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s dive into some of the options you have when it comes to customizing the outside of your phone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Change Wallpapers in Dark and Light Mode on Android<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stickers\"><\/span>Stickers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 651px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-775111\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/PXL_20211217_220653023_2-e1639778914196.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Pizza sticker on phone.\" width=\"651\" height=\"377\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Joe Fedewa<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Let\u2019s start simple. As you can see from my laptop in the photo at the top of this page, I like stickers. I see people put stickers on lots of different things, but not so much on phones. I\u2019m not sure why that is. Stickers are perfect for phones.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you don\u2019t want to put stickers directly on your device. That\u2019s cool, I get it, but you don\u2019t have to do it like that. I recommend getting some sort of case-\u2013a clear plastic one if you want the color of your phone to be visible.<\/p>\n<p>Now you can plaster as many stickers as you want on the case and it can be easily removed. In fact, you could even get a few cases and customize them all a bit differently, then rotate between them. It\u2019s a simple, cheap way to add some personal flair to your phone.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cases_Skins\"><\/span>Cases &amp; Skins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-775106\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mahogany-Galaxy-S21-Skins-e1639776453188.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Galaxy S21 skin.\" width=\"650\" height=\"289\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dbrand.com\/shop\/samsung-galaxy-s21-skins\">dbrand<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Okay, this one probably seems obvious, but hang on. Many people are already using cases on their phones\u2014maybe even the majority of people. How many of these cases are basic black, white, or clear, though?<\/p>\n<p>At the very least, you should be <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/67646\/the-best-cases-for-your-new-samsung-galaxy-s21\/\">using a case<\/a> that reflects your favorite color (add some stickers and now you\u2019re talking). A solid color case is only scratching the surface, though. There are plenty of different designs and patterns to choose from for a lot of phones. You just have to look.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not a case person, you can achieve the same thing with skins. A \u201cskin\u201d is essentially just a sticker that <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/20570\/these-dbrand-skins-have-my-gadgets-looking-fresher-than-fresh\/\">covers your entire phone<\/a>. They come in a variety of solid colors, textures, and patterns.

That\u2019s what I did with the case in the photo above.<\/p>\n<p>The moral of the story here is you don\u2019t have to settle for colors and patterns that accessory makers choose.
