A Case of Memories - DIY Phone Case

Instead of keeping all of your favorite vacation photos hidden away in your phone, create a custom phone case that displays your photos for everyone to see.

We live in a wonderful era in which a person can carry memories from all of their vacations right inside the phone in their pocket. But with those photos buried somewhere inside your phone, oftentimes no one ever sees them. Following the steps in this short how-to video, you can easily create a customized phone case that’ll keep one of your favorite vacation photos out in the open for you and everyone else to enjoy.

Now try it yourself!
