Here’s what your choice of phone cover says about you…

Phones are useful.

With most of us spending upwards of €12,000 on our phones these days, it seems only right that we protect them with nothing short of our precious little lives.

There’s a wide range of snazzy covers available and people generally choose one based on budget, practicality and style. Frankly, your phone cover speaks volumes about you as a person.

Let’s find out what your phone cover says about you.

Clear Cover

You’re a very honest and pragmatic person. You’re calm and level-headed in a crisis. People turn to you for advice and chicken stew recipes. Money is something you’ve a healthy relationship with, there’s a chance you still have some of your Communion money tucked away in the event of an emergency.

In primary school, you pitied your peers that exaggerated during Our News. Nobody believes your Dad just found a parrot waiting at the back door, Saoirse. Your most used phone app is WhatsApp as you’re always staying in touch with the gang and plotting your efforts to overthrow this year’s Tidy Towns competition, you scamp.

Apologies for being the one to tell you, but you’re basic as hell. You drive a Volkswagen Golf, you’re never seen without either your Michael Kors watch or handbag and you go on holidays with the girls once a year (on a very tight budget of Kors).

An absolute divil under the influence of a vodka, soda water and lime, this faithful phone cover has seen you through three phones so far this year. “They’re just so slippery when you’ve had a drink, it’s mad!”. Your favourite app is Snapchat and you’re a fiend for the flower crown filter.

Look up ‘total trade’ in the dictionary, because you’re ALL BUSINESS. The haters need to get up pretty early in the morning to catch you, pal. You live life in the fast lane and your attitude towards the world certainly reflects that. You’re the type of person that sighs heavily in an ATM queue and ploughs through people on the street if they’re not walking fast enough.

You engage in loud and pretentious phone calls in crowded places because people should hear and respect your vague instructions to the poor soul on the other end, which included phrases such as ‘We’ll touch base on that when I get in’ and ‘Please don’t break up with me, I can change, I swear’.

 

Novelty Cover

You are a ridiculous human being and need to be put down like a sick dog. With all due respect, cop on. Fashion knows no bounds when it comes to your phone. Smartphones are large enough these days without the addition of an entire rotary phone attachment as a novelty cover. Sake.

Life is a reliable source of spontaneity and unreliability with you. You always go missing on nights out, luckily friends can find you easily because you’ve got a 12-foot glow-in-the-dark antenna coming out of your phone. You dropped out of college because it was too regimented for your untameable ways. They couldn’t handle you at your quirkiest and they sure as hell didn’t deserve you at your workiest.

Woah, step back folks, we’ve got a rebel over here. Teresa Mannion was specifically targeting you when she warned people against taking risks on treacherous roads. You’re a rogue vagabond that simply cannot be tamed. Your dinner’s got 5 seconds left in the microwave? You’ll be stopping that immediately, you don’t have time to be waiting around for that kind of regimented nonsense.

Unfortunately, your poor phone has felt the brunt of your haphazard ways. It’s covered in more dents and scratches than Stevie Wonder’s car. As if that’s going to persuade you to change your ways. You’re in this for the long haul, you absolute divil. David Bowie wrote his 1974 hit song about you.
