Animal Stand Phone Cases

Snap Creature iPhone Cases Have a Built-In Stand

— August 12, 2013 — Tech
Case-Mate has designed fun snap creature iPhone cases.

Available as elephants, woodchucks, ducks and dogs, these cases do more than just sit there and look cute. On top of protecting your precious iPhone, these cases come with an attached stand. The elephant’s trunk, the duck’s beak and the dog’s and woodchucker’s tongues pop out to form stands. A great feature with these stands is they can sit both vertically and horizontally, so you can position your phone however you like. This is helpful for people who use their phones at work. By standing their phone in the case they can see their messages easily without having to stop what they’re doing to check their phone. These cases also come with little charms that resemble the animal. For example, the elephant comes with a cute peanut charm.

Snap Creature iPhone Cases also give kids another reason to ask their parents for iPhones.
