Step-by-Step: How to Make Money Selling Phone Cases from Home
Almost everyone has a phone.
And almost everyone has a case on it.
Some people even have five cases — one for each outfit, mood, or season.
What if I told you there’s a way to turn those phone cases into real money… without needing a warehouse, tech skills, or even design experience?
Let me walk you through the basics of how people just like you are building fun little phone case businesses from home — some even in their spare time.
Step 1: Pick a Niche You Actually Care About
The worst thing you can do is try to sell phone cases “for everyone.”
That never works.
The smartest sellers pick one group of people to focus on.
Think:
✅ Dog lovers
✅ Anime fans
✅ K-pop stans
✅ Skaters
✅ Moms with toddlers
✅ People who love sarcastic quotes
When you have a clear niche, it’s way easier to know what designs to create and what kind of customers you’re talking to.
Step 2: Find Out What People Already Like
Want to know what sells?
Look around.
🛍️ Go to Etsy or Amazon and type in “phone case.”
📌 Hop on Pinterest and search “cute phone case” or “aesthetic phone case.”
📱 Scroll Instagram or TikTok for hashtags like #phonecaseaddict.
Look for patterns.
Do you see lots of pink and purple?
Are butterflies trending again?
Do people love putting their names or zodiac signs on their cases?
If people are liking, saving, and sharing — that means there’s a market.
Step 3: Design Without Being a Designer
This part scares people — but it doesn’t have to.
You don’t need to be an artist. Tools like Canva make it super easy.
Want to add a funny quote?
Drop in some text.
Want a cute graphic?
There are tons of drag-and-drop icons.
Still stuck? You can even hire a designer for $5 on Fiverr to help.
Step 4: Use Print-On-Demand to Keep It Simple
Here’s the best part:
You don’t have to buy 100 cases upfront.
Use a “print-on-demand” service like Printify or Printful.
You upload your design → they print the case → they ship it straight to your customer.
No inventory. No packing boxes. No post office lines.
It’s like running a store… without really running a store.
Step 5: Sell Where the Buyers Are
You’ve got options:
🛍️ Etsy is easy to start and already has shoppers looking for cool stuff.
🌐 Shopify is best if you want full control over your brand and website.
You can even connect these stores directly to your print-on-demand platform so the whole thing runs almost on autopilot.
