#2) Casetagram
I love customizing my phone cases ( yes I have 6 phone cases) anyway i can. In fact if you want more details on how to personalize your case, click here. Casetagram is a perfect way to show off your Instagram photos….on your phone case. Users can create an account that allows them to upload as many photos as they can and load them into different layouts. The case can be ordered and sent to the user’s home. Prices depend on what type of case you want to us and range from $30-$60. I believe it’s a bit expensive but worth the price if you want to have a professional case design for your device.
A) On the Casetagram site, choose the make option.
B) Select which phone you want to make the case for. I chose the 5s.
C) Choose a layout.
D) Insert your photos ( You are able to connect to it through the site)

#3) Calendagram
I just recently discovered this app. Just as the name suggests, users can upload pictures to make a personalized calendar. Unfortunately, the app only available for the iPhone/iPad devices. But it is free of download. Although, orders might get a little pricey. The calendar is versatile, it can be used for your desk or up on the wall.
A) Download the app unto your iPhone/iPad device.
B) Choose the pictures you want to use.
C) Order it!
