Cure Wanderlust with CaseApp – Review + Giveaway

We just came back from a fall trip last weekend and I was so ready to relax, work and settle down. But as the week went by, the itch to travel has creeped in again. I guess once the travel bug hits you, you don’t go back. But it might not always be possible to travel. So instead I cured my wanderlust with CaseApp custom laptop skin and custom iPhone case!

My restless, roaming spirit would not allow me to remain at home very long.

Cure wanderlust with CaseApp

Whether you are looking for a new adventure or are simply bored with your routine, you can cure the wanderlust by just staying at home (at least for time being 😀 ). Here are some the things I recommend:

1. Read Travel Blogs or Books

I love just reading travel blogs, magazines, and books. You might just want to pack and leave for another trip with all the serious inspiration that you find out there. But take this is as an inspiration maybe and start adding to your travel bucket list.

2. Relive the memories

Go through your travel archives. Read your old travel diaries, travel blogs, or go through your stamp collection from national park passport. Look at the old pictures you had taken during the travel. This is what I did when Caseapp approached me to design a custom skin and case. That is when I found this beautiful Indian ocean picture that Vinay had captured on our trip to Maldives.



3. Listen to travel playlist

Do you have a travel playlist? We do a lot of road trips in Colorado and outside state, and these trips would not be the same without some music. Anything that inspires you or brings out the energy or fun.

4. Break the routine

Try something different to break out of a regular or boring routine. Like visit a new neighborhood, do a short hike, walk in the park or watch sunrise/sunset, or maybe do a movie night with travel inspiration.

If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine, it is lethal.

5. Try new cuisine

If you are a foodie like me, you would be Yelp-ing all the great food joints and restaurants on your trip. So maybe bring home some food culture by trying a new cuisine. You need not go outside to a restaurant, but maybe just try a new recipe that you have been fantasizing about.

6. Plan for next trip

I mean seriously this is what keeps me going – what are we doing on the weekend or my free evening or over the long weekend or holidays! It is just so much fun to plan a trip with family and friends.



7. Work in a new setup

Maybe change your work location at times and get inspired. I love to write my posts from library or a coffee shop at times. The change in environment is so refreshing!

And all of these I am able to do it at home on my computer or phone. That does not mean that you should stay put, but you just need to find your inspiration while you are at home. And that is how I cure wanderlust with CaseApp.

CaseApp review

No seriously! CaseApp is the coolest solution for the custom designed products. I was really amazed with the quality of the print and it looked so real. The laptop skin is not a flimsy thin cover as I thought it would be, but it was just the ideal layer of protection without adding any bulk . The bright turquoise water of Indian ocean and the surreal water villas were brought to life. My eyes literally keep grazing for the laptop. It just takes me to a happy place where we were for our honeymoon trip to Maldives. I just knew that this picture was the right choice for my custom design. I added a little bit of boho vibe (my ‘thing’ lately) to it with the message and the arrows. Totally live by the message!

Why CaseApp?

1. Custom designing

Though Vinay is a mountain boy and we live in the beautiful state of Colorado, we both do long for warm sunny beach days. So I decided to design the custom laptop skin and iPhone case based on a beach theme. We did want something personal for our custom designs so I opted for the picture which we took on our favorite trips to Maldives.

2. Cool ready-to-use designs and graphics

You do not need to have a custom design or picture, CaseApp site itself has lot of really cool and creative ready to use designs as well. Their marble case and skin is really popular and awesome. So I decided to pick up a little unusual blue marble case for my iPhone. I made it custom by adding an image of the palm tree. Ahhh… takes me to a beach town or city right away and in a way reminds me of the beautiful clear blue sky of Colorado.

3. Extra protection case

For those who have slippery hands like min, they also provide the extra protection case! But be mindful the silicone lining is only black in color.

4. Great pricing

Most custom phone cases are $34 and laptop skin for $24-29.

How to order with CaseApp

Here is a step by step procedure for how I made the order:

1. Select or create any custom image that you want to use. Keep in mind the dimensions of your laptop or phone. For my Macbook Pro 13, I used an image with 3:2 dimensions and more than 1200 px wide. For my iPhone I used a vector image that could scale up or down. If you use a low resolution image then the quality of the print might not be as good as you would expect.
2. For the laptop skin I went directly to the “Skins” tab on their website. Then I uploaded the picture in their Design Studio to get the right skin design. The cost for the skin was $29.
3. I selected the light blue marble design for my iPhone case for $34 by selecting the design through the tab “Designs” on their website. Then I uploaded my custom picture in their Design Studio and resized and moved it to get the right design.
4. These products were sponsored for me by CaseApp, so I did not have to make any payment. The shipping fees is free for US residents, but you might have to account for shipping fees if you need it outside US or some other countries. Even with the shipping the prices are really reasonable for the quality of items you get. Also, CaseApp has allowed me to share a 20% off discount code FANCIERSWORLD20 for you to use.
5. The package arrived 2 weeks after my order including the printing and shipment time. I was really happy to receive it before our anniversary. Was such a nice gift for us! 🙂
6. Then it was as simple as peeling the skin from the package to the laptop and fitting the case! They both turned out to be awesome I think.
