Orla Kiely loveliness

As much as I love my iPhone I also love being able to pimp the outisde. I’ve gone through a fair few since I bought my first iPhone in 2007, although always stuck with either Cath Kidston or recently, Orla Kiely, covers.

Remember the luscious lacquered shell which didn’t last long as I upgraded and it didn’t fit the later iPhone model.

Or the less successful oilcloth cover which I used for a matter of hours before I got fed up of having to pull a chord to access my phone.

How about the lovely London cover? I used this one for ages although it wore quickly.

My last two purchases have been stunning Orla Kiely designs. The both feature her beautiful stem print design which is my favourite. Unfortunately the quality was shockingly bad and the pattern wore so quickly it’s been relegated to looking good on the mantelpiece.

Luckily I was smooching round the Covent Garden Apple Store and saw a new iPhone case which I love. It’s called a folio case and carries the signature stem print. It wraps around the iPhone perfectly and protects it from external knocks and scrapes. But, and it’s a big but, there’s no hole for the camera so whenever I want to take a pic I have to take it out of the cover. Not a huge problem but annoying, especially when it’s been designed for the iPhone 4.
