Does anyone feel like they have a line on the aesthetic sense of fourteen year old boys? I'm buying my nephew a cell phone case for Christmas (on the request of my sister), and I have no idea what to pick. In terms of clothes, he's a jeans-and-t-shirt dude, and shows no color sense to speak of; he's a Boy Scout, and kind of outdoorsy; and he's in marching band.
My family swears by
OtterBox for our cell phone cases. Well, *I* don't have one, but on the nagging of my brother, he, my mother, my wife, and my mother-in-law all do. And I tried one, but I didn't like it. I, on the other hand, have a variation on the
Speck Candyshell, which has served me well the past year and a half. In terms of color, I'm thinking something in the green or black family. The blues and reds all seem too femme.
Or, I could go Etsy. I think this
wood one but I don't know if the design is too weird. He plays video games, and I like
this one a lot. The
dot design on this one is pretty cool. And this
Sriracha one is pretty hip.
What I am saying here is, halp, plz to be preventing me from being Uncool Aunt.
