iPhone Accessories Holiday Gift Guide 2023

With every new iPhone launch also comes new accessories! I used to have dozens of cases that I used to switch to match my outfits or my mood, but these days I'd rather have fewer cases that I can call my favorites. Check out my round up of phone cases for this season!

iPhone 14 Pro / Pro Max Cardholder Case, $60

I always seem to buy a new iPhone right before the new model comes out. Last time it was because my battery kept dying, this time it's because I lost my phone. While many people are looking for iPhone 15 cases, I have my eyes set on ones for the iPhone 14 Pro. This case is great for anyone that loves earth tones and neutrals. This one comes in Saffiano leather, with a back case that opens up to reveal two card slots. 

Case-Mate Brilliance Chandelier

iPhone 14 Plus, $40

If you happen to have an iPhone 14 Plus, then you are in luck! Instead of $40 you can find this for $14.99 at Target. The 14 Pro can be found on Amazon for $34.49. This case has a gold glitz and glamour feel with an art deco vibe, inspired by a sparkling chandelier.

Burga Emerald Pool 

Elegant iPhone Case, $34.95

These Burga cases are definitely on my gifting list (for myself lol). I love the designs, especially this marble one, and they look sturdy too. They also come in all different sized cases. 

Moschino Teddy Bear AirPods Case, $130

I'm still shocked I don't own AirPods yet, but this would be my case of choice! I love the Moschino bear! I wish there was a phone case in the shape of the bear.

New OtterBox iPhone 7 Plus Cases

It feels like I had waited months to get my hands on my iPhone 7 Plus and I couldn't be happier! The beginning of the new year is the perfect time to start fresh with a new phone. Between work, blogging and events I plan on using some serious phone memory on photos and videos this year, and my previous phone had no memory left. I knew I had to move on from my iPhone 5S but I was not looking forward to saying goodbye to my 5S accessories I had amassed, including 20+ cases, case chargers and portable chargers. Thanks to OtterBox, I've started my new collection of cases for my iPhone 7 Plus! I love switching out my cases, sometimes based on my mood or outfit. 

The Symmetry Series Clear Case is perfect for when I want to show the gold exterior of my iPhone. The Symmetry Series Graphics Case in Firefly is a fun print, that I've gotten a lot of compliments on. It also matches my style since I prefer darker colors and prints. The Statement Series Case in Black is also clear with black leather accents. OtterBox cases have gone through 24+ tests and 238+ hours including high temp & humidity and cold storage to hand lotion and makeup resistance. All OtterBox cases have OtterBox Certified Drop+ Protection so my phone is protected against everyday wear and tear and those accidental drops and fumbles. 

One thing I definitely needed for my case is the Alpha Glass Screen Protector. The screen on my iPhone 7 Plus is so much bigger than my 5S was, and even more prone to cracking if I dropped it. I've had friends that have easily cracked their new phones right after getting them. I feel so relieved now that I have it on my phone, especially since I've dropped it a few times already (it's so big it has fallen out of my coat pocket). The Alpha Glass comes with an alcohol wipe and microfiber cloth to clean the phone with first, and then the glass is easy to apply onto the screen. With the Alpha Glass on, the image clarity and touch screen remains intact and is fortified to make the screen shatter/scratch proof. 

Thank you again OtterBox for keeping my phone safe and providing me with some classic, everyday, and stylish cases that I can use everyday! Check out all of OtterBox phone accessories at otterbox.com.

Sodacase Customizable iPhone 5 Cases

During CE Week, I had a chance to check out Sodacase designs and cases. I am really impressed with their unique printing technique in which their designs are printed directly onto the plastic case, creating a raised print and embossed feel. It's stylish and functional, as the embossed pattern makes the case easier to grip and prevent slipping and dropping, with resistance to fading and scratches. Each case also comes with a matching microfiber for cleaning your phone, iPad, or sunglasses. 

You can even customize your own case with one of Sodacase's patterns or by uploading your own pattern or image from facebook or instagram. I customized my own iPhone 5 case, by uploading a signature ink and watercolor print by my cousin, artist Jayson Atienza. You may recognize Jayson's designs from his most recent shoe collaboration with Bucketfeet, currently available at treasure & bond. My customized case also arrived with the matching microfiber cloth. 

You can shop available cases at sodacase.com, or customize your own here. If you decide to customize your own case, you can get $10.00 off by applying code SHOW2013 at checkout. I'm so happy with the quality of these cases, I'm sure I'll be getting another one soon, since I can never have enough iPhone cases. My favorite of Sodacase's featured designs is the Red Purple Hibiscus Case - Duchess Prescott Case.
