KUALA LUMPUR:
Smartphone cases aren’t just protective covers for your devices – they have also become stylish accessories. And now, some entrepreneurs have come up with designs to reflect the spirit of Syawal.

Ain Nurina Md Yazid has been curating Aidilfitri-themed phone case collections under her Loucase brand since 2019, featuring different themes and designs each year.

“The Raya collection is the highlight of the year – customers have been asking about it from as early as January. It is our bestselling item during the festive season: on the first day of this year’s launch alone, we sold up to 5,000 units,” she told Bernama.

This time around, she has chosen batik motifs for her festive phone cases, which fit various brands and models and are priced between RM49 and RM99.

Ain Nurina explained that she had been inspired by her observations of local textile art exhibited at events throughout KL.

“We set up a sales booth at Central Market several times a month, and from there, I was inspired to create a batik-themed collection featuring unique patterns and vibrant colour combinations.

“Our concept is to make phone cases an integral part of the user’s lifestyle. Just like choosing outfits for different occasions, phone cases can also be matched with Raya attire,” Ain Nurina said.

Another phone case brand, Mutu Case, is embracing designs featuring nostalgic elements that evoke memories of celebrating Raya in the kampung.

Brand manager Nur Izzati Najihah Abd Hafidz said the collection highlights classic elements such as ketupat, kettles and teacups, as well as the patterns on wall tiles found in old homes.

“We wanted to create something that is not only stylish but also evokes emotions and brings joy to our customers,” she said, noting that the cases – priced between RM19 and RM39 – come in both bold and soft colours to cater to customer preferences.

She added that Mutu Case is open to expanding its collections for other festivals such as Deepavali and Chinese New Year if there is sufficient demand.
