Labato have sent me phone covers before and have decided to send me two more again - similar in design to the last one but in a more updated version. The main difference between these and the last lot are that the newer models have plastic inserts that holds the phone a lot more securely and of course colour variations. My hubby uses the black one while I took over the brown (big fan of earthy colours here even though I tend not to wear them too much).
Once again, the covers are made of leather so it is more durable and of higher quality than the usual plastic crap on the market. The Labato phone covers are sold online via Amazon, AliExpressand Ebay. You can get both the black and my brown one here for iPhone 5 and 5s.
I loved the shade of brown I got but wanted to spice it up a little (as I have done before to an older phone) and did a little DIYing in order to do this. The big cluster of moonstone white and amber bling was part of an old earring set (that I wore in this old post) that broke but I always held on to it thinking "I'll use that someday for something else". Use it I did by simply coating the back in superglue and sticking it on to the phone cover, making sure it was smack bang in the centre.
It was probably the easiest, cheapest and prettiest DIY trick I have ever done - all in under thirty seconds!
What do you think of my pretty new accessory? Have you ever DIYed something old into something new?
