Few things get looked at as often as a phone, so a tiger phone case keeps the animal in plain sight all day long. The cases in this collection treat the back of the phone as a small canvas: tigers brushed in ink on pale paper, traced in neon light, photographed nose to nose or set in playful scenes. Most are made for iPhone models, and a Samsung A11 option appears among them too.
Every case is sold by phone model, chosen in its options. Most designs cover the older iPhone range: the iPhone 5, 5S and SE, the iPhone 6, 7 and 8 with their Plus versions, and the iPhone X, XS, XR and XS Max, though the exact list varies a little from one case to the next. A few designs reach newer phones. The Tiger iPhone 17 Case from Faraway Lands is offered for the iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, as well as the iPhone X and XS. The White Tiger Baby Phone Case comes for the iPhone 11 and for the iPhone 12, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max in TPU, a flexible plastic, and for the iPhone 13 series in glass. Each product page lists its own models.
Several designs borrow from East Asian painting. The Parchment Japanese Tiger Phone Case shows a tiger in soft golden brown walking away across a cream, paper-toned ground, then turning its head back over its shoulder with its mouth open in a snarl. A pine branch reaches in from the top corner and dry grasses rise at the bottom, leaving wide empty space around the animal, the way traditional scroll paintings often do.
Tigers are not native to Japan, so for centuries Japanese painters worked from Chinese paintings, imported pelts and travelers' descriptions. That is one reason tigers in older Japanese art can look a little unexpected, with rounder faces, catlike expressions and sometimes a touch of humor.
The Tiger iPhone 17 Case from Faraway Lands pushes the same tradition toward drama. An orange tiger climbs a rocky slope and glances back, framed by dark pine boughs and drifting white mist, and the black-edged case has its camera cutout shaped to each of the models it is made for.
At the other end of the range, the Neon Tiger Phone Case draws the animal as if in bent glass tubes on a black ground: orange for the body and stripes, white for the whiskers and claws, green for the eyes and red for the open mouth. The tiger crouches toward the viewer with one front paw stretched to the bottom of the case, like a sign glowing in a shop window at night.
Other designs keep the background black and let a face come forward out of it. One shows a tiger's head in copper and gray with bright green eyes and long white whiskers, close enough to fill the whole case. The black hides the edges of the picture, so the tiger seems to step out of the dark.
White tigers turn up again and again in the collection. The White Tiger Baby Phone Case is a gray-toned photograph of a white cub lying with its paws gathered in front of it, the dark stripes crisp against pale fur and the eyes a clear, bright blue. Another design paints a white cub in blue and violet tones, with two pale butterflies resting near its chest.
A white tiger is usually a Bengal tiger with an unusual inherited coloring: a rare gene turns the orange of the coat to cream or white while the stripes stay dark, and the same gene usually brings the blue eyes. Our article on the most beautiful tigers in the world looks at the white tiger alongside other striking tigers, such as the Siberian tiger and the golden tiger, and makes a good companion to the many prints here.
Some cases tell a small story. The Tiger Phone Case Feline Friendship shows a tiger swimming through clear turquoise water, split by the waterline so that its head is in the sunshine while its legs paddle below. A tabby cat sits calmly on top of its head, and small striped fish drift past underneath. The joke rests on a true detail: unlike most cats, tigers enjoy water, swim well and often cool off in rivers and pools in hot weather.
The same kind of prints carry well to the desk. A tiger mouse pad puts a tiger under the hand while the phone sits beside the keyboard, with designs that include a gaming pad, a baby tiger, a white tiger and a tiger print. For the pocket, a tiger keychain adds a smaller tiger to the keys: glass domes with a tiger's face, a zodiac medallion or a gold-tone cub covered in rhinestones. Both belong to our broader tiger accessories collection, which also gathers backpacks, mugs, patches and temporary tattoos.
Most designs are made for iPhone. The Tiger Phone Case Feline Friendship lists the Samsung A11 among its models, alongside the iPhone range.
The Tiger iPhone 17 Case from Faraway Lands covers the iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. The White Tiger Baby Phone Case covers the iPhone 11, the iPhone 12 family and the iPhone 13 series.
No. The photos show thin clear edges on many of the older iPhone designs, while the Tiger iPhone 17 Case from Faraway Lands has black edges that frame the painting like a border.
