Coming in three color options, the smartphone case features a built-in D-ring on the rear that can be used with an optional [leather carrying strap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellroy-mod) or a lanyard. This enables the smartphone to be worn around the neck, attached to a bag and much more to prevent it from being left behind or confined to a pocket between uses. The Alto 'Anello' iPhone case measures in at just 0.5mm thick, which enables it to offer a touch of additional protection without adding too much heft. The ultra-thin design also ensures it doesn't interfere with wireless charging capabilities. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Wearable Smartphone Cases:** Opportunity to develop different wearable cases to keep the smartphone secure and easily accessible at all times. - **Minimalistic Phone Protection:** Opportunity to create protective smartphone cases that add minimal bulk to the device. - **Customizable Phone Accessories:** Opportunity to develop iPhone cases that can be personalized with different options like carrying straps or lanyards. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Mobile Accessories:** There is a market for innovative smartphone accessories like the Alto 'Anello' iPhone case. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can create high-end leather cases that complement different outfits and styles. - **Technology:** Tech companies can develop protective smartphone cases that blend with different devices and enhance user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Handcrafted Leather Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alto-original-leather-case.md) - [Adjustable Phone Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-sling.md) - [Chic Skeletal Smartphone Protectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dango-adapt-iphone-case.md) - [Imperceivable Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nakey-smartphone-case.md) - [Handheld Smartwatch Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elrow-industries-miniphone.md) - [Two-in-One Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dango-adapt.md) - [Luxurious Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-iphone-case1.md) - [Fashionable Inflated Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-case-2.md) - [Vegan Leather Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyden-duo-series.md)
