The indestructible Nokia lives on, only this time as a cute fashion accessory. This Nokia case from Valfre is the ultimate '90s accessory this summer, turning your iPhone into a thick concrete block.
It may have been decades since Nokia phones became mainstream (I mean, the Razor is a more modern model), but the nostalgia for block-y phones continues. Our modern phones may be getting thinner, lighter, and smarter, but they can also be damaged by the slightest contact. On the other hand, you'd have to throw your Nokia into Mount Doom in Middle-earth for it to stop working. It might fall into the toilet, break into a million pieces, fall down the stairs, or get run over by a car, but your Nokia will still work like brand new.
This '90s phone not only clearly employs dark magic, but it also fits in with the '90s retro moment we're experiencing. If you're wearing brown lipstick, a choker necklace, and a grungy babydoll dress this summer, you're probably missing your old concrete phone. Valfre's Nokia T9 case will make it easy to feel like you're playing Snake and texting digitally again.
The T9 Nokia case is made specifically for iPhone, and its 3D protective shell is made of silicone. The case replicates the iconic Nokia design, but Valfre gives the case its signature feminine touch. Nokia phones now come in pink and white, with bright green screens.

"The T9 phone is iconic and it really allowed people to get creative and match their tech to their outfits (ever-changing cases and colors!). That's why we really want to give people the chance to put it on Bring it back," Ilse Valfre Valfre founder, shares with Bustle. "With the '90s alive and well again, this case will not only be completely on-trend, but it'll also give you the comfort of adolescence."
Valfre has a lot of '90s-inspired pieces in its collections, and there's a reason for that. "The '90s have always been a favorite era for us, so many of our past collections have been inspired by the '90s," Valfre explains. “Our Cowgirl collection, for example, features a cow print. Valfre also loves nice crop tops and graphic T-shirts, another thing we attribute to the great ‘90s. We even designed one featuring Clueless . Collection inspired by last year! ” If you want more 90s pieces to match your new Nokia phone, shop a few select pieces from Valfre below.
