ONARDs’s hand-illustrated phone cases take a cute and clever turn on the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floralthemed-phone-cases) icon on the back of your [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-50th-anniversary-iphone-17-pro). Using waterproof ink, the creator intricately draws out a whimsical story of a girl and an apple. Whether the apple is hanging off a tree branch or is in a basket full of other apples, the iPhone logo is put to good use in an artistic way.

For white phones, black waterproof ink is used on clear plastic cases and for black phones, white ink on black plastic cases. The Apple logo is usually accentuated with red. ONARDs’s designs also infuse genuine [Swarovski](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-concept-1) crystals for a sparkly finishing touch.

Hand-painting is one thing, but detailed hand illustrations are another; these Swarovski crystal-speckled cases tell carry a deeper meaning than a mere design. The creator cleverly makes use of the familiar Apple icon that we often tend to overlook. These crafty phone cases are available on the ONARDs online Etsy store for roughly $17.00.
