Crafted by hand, the Clic Terrazzo case from Native Union is made of Jesmonite to give it a sparkly twist. The distinctive pattern is exceptionally unique. So much so that no two cases are the same.

The Reflective Mirror Case from Casetify does just what the name says. The entire back is totally reflective so you can use it as an on-the-go mirror. It’s great for taking selfies with the rear-facing camera, but it also adds a touch of flash to your style.
