There are so many different types of specialized iPhone cases out there. There are battery cases, waterproof cases, and even cases with a built-in wallet compartment. But one iPhone case trend we’ve really been digging lately are cases that disguise your phone, making it look like something other than, well, a phone. These clever phone cases can tuck your phone away from view, disguising it as a book, stuffed animal, or other inconspicuous item. Whether you want to hide your phone from prying eyes, or just want a case that doesn’t look like the boring cases everyone else has on their device, you’ll enjoy this list of cool cases that trick the eye.
