What’s the one material object you can’t live without? Really think about it…
For me – the answer is easy. My cell phone! My iPhone 4S is my go-to for so many important things in my life. In addition to the obvious act of keeping in touch with people, I use my iPhone for emails, social media, looking up directions, alarm to wake up in the morning, music, and *takes breath* the list goes on.
Living in New York City I find myself constantly out and about in the city for meetings, events, and social gatherings, so it’s pretty safe to say I would literally be lost without my phone. Like a lot of people, my phone is almost always in my hand, or at least within reach. And, since I must admit that I can tend to be a bit of a klutz, it’s always been really important that I have a good case on my phone to protect it.
The only problem with cell phone cases, though, is that they can tend to be bulky and…well…not exactly cute. That’s why I was so excited to learn about RuMe and their customizable cell phone cases.
RuMe cases help protect your device from dings, drops, and take-by-mistakes, while also having interchangeable and customizable backplates. How cool is that?!

Since my cell phone is something that is always with me, I love the idea of making it an accessory that expresses me and my personal style. I love that this backplate design even matches my wrist tattoo…

I also love inspirational quotes, so I decided to make this custom design for the custom backplate of my phone using one of my favorites.
I’ve already gotten so many people out and about in the city – even on the subway - asking me what it says and commenting on how much they like it!

In NYC it’s always a plus to have your fashion and personal style be a conversation starter. Who would have guessed that my cell phone would become an accessory that helps me out at networking events?

And – good news – you can customize your own backplate on MyRume.com by uploading your own image(s) and RuMe will ship it to you with no additional shipping charges. Whether it’s a photo of that unforgettable night out with friends, your cute dog doing cute dog stuff, or that artsy pic you took in Europe last summer that blew up your Instagram…nothing feels better than getting complimented on a design that is your very own.
Great news - you can win a $100 Target gift card plus your very own RuMe case! To enter, just go to MyRume.com, check out their cute phone case designs and come back here to comment with which of their cases best expresses your style. The style I went with is called Crosby!

I think the rCase / Metro / Downing would best express my style. It would match a lot of my wardrobe!
Love their whole selection though!
