How to care for a decoden case!

If you have never owned a decoden case before you may be wondering how to care for it! As long as you care for your case it will last you a long time. Here are some basic care tips for your decoden cases.

1. Decoden cases may have a little bit of a strong smell when you first get them. I try my best to air out my cases before they are sent out, but the scent can come back. This is common with all decoden items, especially those made with 100% silicone. This is because the case has been trapped in a bag for several days, so they smell builds up in the bag. When you get your case simply take it out of the baggie and leave it out for a day or two to air out. Once it is aired out it will be good to go!
2. Take care not to be too rough with your case. Like any other type of case, a decoden phone case could break if you don't take care of it. Because of this I do not recommend decoden cases to small children because they can become a choking hazard if small pieces fall off after dropping.
3. If a piece does happen to fall off your case it can be fixed super quick with a drop of super glue! For 100% silicone pieces E6000 tends to not stick very well to the silicone, so as much as super glue can be a hassle and mess, you are better off using it. 
4. After owning your case for a while you may notice it collecting dust or dirt. This can easily be cleaned! There are two methods I recommend; You can take a q-tip, wet it, and gently rub the dirty spots until they are cleaned up or you can take a little bit of sticky tape, press it down on the case, and gently lift it off. 
5. It should go without saying, but please do not pick at the cabochons! They are secured pretty well to the case, but picking at them again and again can cause the pieces to come off. Putting the phone in a tight pocket or purse with lots of abrasive items can also cause the pieces to fall off. 

I want everyone to be able to enjoy their decoden cases! Follow these 5 simple care tips and you will have an amazing case that will last you a long time. 

Remember; decoden cases are not indestructible, so please take good care of them.
