How to Create Beautiful iPhone Cases

This bestselling iPhone 5 case is made using a photo of the gemstone called turquoise. The golden mineral you see there in the interstices of the stone is pyrite, also known as fool’s gold (you can see why). These veins of pyrite tells us about the rock where this gem formed. Speaking of which, the word turquoise, which we now associate with a color, comes from the French “pierre turquoise” meaning “Turkish stone.” It was believed by those who coined this name that the stone came from Turkey. It was, in fact, sold a lot in Turkey, but excavated in other places of the Middle East.

This case is also a bestseller on Zazzle. The elegant design is more complicated, but you can create something similar if you take the time. Just click on Customize, and you’ll see how this image is composed using a number of simple images. If you don’t have the time or interest to create your own design, you can personalize this one by changing the name and monogram.

It’s rather amazing how easy it is to fool the eye into thinking that you’re not really looking at a plastic case. It seems as if the textures and glitter are all there.

Here’s a Monet Water Lilies iPhone 5 Cases. Claude Monet (1840-1926) painted over 250 Water Lilies in his garden at Giverny between 1899 and 1926. Zazzle designers are using many paintings which are now in the public domain. If you click on this case, you can then search on Z. for other artworks. And if you have a favorite artwork that’s not there, you may be able to use it. It’s easy to make your own iPhone case. You just upload the image (make sure it’s large enough, so that it prints nicely), and then position and stretch it on the product you wish to buy. You can also use such art images to create designs on Z. which other people can use as well.
