To create storage cases for smartphones and their accessories, use recycled materials, such as vintage fabrics or natural and sustainable materials, such as cork or bamboo, which offer both strength and lightness.
For a touch of elegance and durability, consider creating leather cases. This noble material, in addition to offering robust protection, allows a multitude of designs, ranging from classic to modern. Adding small, hidden magnets to hold the case closed or allow it to be attached to other surfaces provides additional functionality without compromising the design.
