If you consider yourself to be a serious "phonegrapher" and love selfie taking, sometimes you've just got to have the right equipment for the job. One tool that will help to up your selfie game is the the iLuv Selfy iPhone case for 5/5s models, because it holds a spot for a remote shutter.

Without having to go out and buy a dedicated [wireless camera remote](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-lux-grip) or download a special app, this phone case provides you with everything you need, plus storage.

At $49.99, it's a pricy phone case, but as well as providing a handy photography accessory, the case is made of a resilient TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), which makes it tough and shock-resistant. The Selfy case is also available for the Galaxy S5, [iPad mini](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamesir-g8-plus-mfi) and [iPad Air](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipad-air-1).
