Rugged and industrial, it is made for modern individuals who have an eye for design and texture. Perhaps they are even edgy and minimalist when it comes to their over fashion statement. Designed by Shamgar and available online at Society6, the smartphone concrete case is "constructed as a one-piece, impact resistant, flexible plastic hard case with an extremely slim profile," as written on Society6. All a person needs to do is snap the concrete case onto the phone for it to bring a unique finish to everyone's digital lifeline on an everyday basis. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Industrial Concrete Cases:** Opportunity for creating rugged and durable smartphone cases using concrete material for a unique and edgy style. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Smartphone Accessories:** Innovative smartphone case designs using unconventional materials like concrete for individuals seeking a rugged and industrial aesthetic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sophisticated Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-smartphone-case.md) - [Smartphone Case Pin Charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-smartphone-cases.md) - [Imperceivable Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nakey-smartphone-case.md) - [Minimalist Designer-Made Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-the-white-case.md) - [Stylistic Sustainable Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-of-cases.md) - [Sneaker-Inspired Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kick-case.md) - [Sustainable Tactile Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-union-reclassic-case.md) - [Kevlar Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rugged-iphone-case.md) - [Metallic Machined Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dango-covert-iphone-case.md)
