Life Geekery has a great collection of furry felt personal device protectors, and the Star Wars phone cozy collection has to be some of the coolest cases I've seen in a while.
Nikki Mason and her husband have an Etsy shop that makes adorable nerdy felt products to protect all of your electronic devices, no matter what size. They have a great series of Star Wars inspired cozies that are perfect. Choose from either the Chewbacca Cozy that features the furry creatures iconic belt strap, the R2D2 phone cozy or the Ewok cozy that fits right over your iPad.
All of the Star Wars phone cozies are made from 100% handmade and eco-friendly felt material.
