This Halloween we’re going all out, and that includes our phones! Phones are often neglected, and when you think about it, it’s the one thing we carry with us everywhere. Halloween is one of our favorite seasons, and this year’s Halloween collection includes eerie, gothic-themed phone case covers alongside a host of other must-haves!

Our phones have become such an important part of our lives; they contain everything from our messages with friends and family to our calendars, emails, and social media, and let's not forget about those photos. Our phones have become the caretakers of our lives and memories, which is why, here at OUABC, we think they should reflect our personalities too!

What to Look for When Choosing a Bookish Phone Case Cover

The perfect bookish phone case should do more than simply look fabulous. Start by checking that it fits your exact phone model, with the right camera cut-outs and easy access to buttons and ports. Protection matters too, so look for a secure fit and a sturdy inner shell to keep your phone safely in place.

Next, think about practical features. Card slots, an interior pocket, a magnetic closure, or the option to add a wrist strap make your phone case cover that much more useful. Also check the material, especially if you want something durable enough to survive being tossed into handbags, backpacks, or onto the nearest reading chair.

Then comes the most important part for any book lover: the design. Whether you prefer gothic classics or eerie mysteries, choose a cover that feels like an extension of your reading personality.

A good bookish phone case should tick three boxes: protective, practical, and perfectly you.

Bookish Phone Case Covers: What’s Your Halloween Style?

Yes, everything comes down to style, and this Halloween we can’t decide between gothic or scary! 

If you’re firmly Team Gothic, there’s Dracula, Frankenstein, The Phantom of the Opera, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Edgar Allan Poe. Basically everything you need for a dark, dramatic, Gothic mood. 

If you’re more Team Scary, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Murder on the Links bring a slightly more mysterious, unsettling feel that is perfect for Halloween. Now it’s time to pick your side. Either way, your phone is officially invited to dress up for Halloween!

If you’re battling to decide which cover belongs on your phone this Halloween, here’s a quick look at the different Halloween vibes to help you find your perfect match.

And for those of you who just have to be that bit extra, we have just the thing for you! Our Wuthering Heights matching combo plus a special edition! 

Inspired by Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, these phone cases come in white, purple, and sage green tones, with a winding tree branch, two figures walking beneath it, leafy detailing, and the much-loved quote, “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” And because one bookish accessory is clearly never enough, there’s a Wuthering Heights book purse in the very same design. Yes, your phone and your purse can match! 

While you’re at it, we definitely recommend checking out our special edition of Wuthering Heights. This beautiful hardcover features a redesigned dust jacket, a fabric hardcase with foil detailing, stenciled edges, and custom endpapers. 

Give Your Phone a Little Halloween Magic

Halloween is all about leaning into the things we love, whether that means decorating the house, building the perfect Halloween TBR, or giving the one thing we carry absolutely everywhere a bookish makeover.

All that’s left to do is pick your Halloween mood and let your phone join in the fun. And while you’re in the mood, you may want to check out our blog, The Complete Guide to OUABC’s Halloween Collection, because you never know what other bookish treats might catch your eye. After all, Halloween only comes once a year, which feels like a perfectly reasonable excuse to go a little overboard.
