When I saw the transparent iPhone cases with the interchangeable templates I was thinking to myself, hmm if I could find a transparent S3 case then I can do the same as well. It was not as easy as I thought to find one though, I tried the night markets around my house as well as various shops around Klang Valley but to no avail. The night market vendor even had the cheek to tell me that no one buys transparent cases.
I finally had a break when I discovered an online blogshop that sells phone cases, doodlecases, through an shopping review site (can't remember which at the moment since I go to a few). They sell plain coloured, transparent, vibrantly patterned phone cases for both Apple and Samsung phones for some designs. I was delighted that they had what I was looking for, and so far I have bought 4 cases from them. Although I was sometimes disappointed that some designs that I really liked was only available for iPhones :( Friendly owner though :)
Anyway, about the transparent case, I traced out a template from a brown paper bag I had lying around, and I bought some wonderfully patterned scrapbook paper and wrapping paper from art stores and bazaars, cut them out and inserted them into the case. I also used a Xacto knife to do some touch ups, shaving a lil off here and there. I tried looking for a ready template that I could use, but there weren't any, and I realized that the holes behind some manufacturers made them square, some round, so it still depends on the case that you get.
I was very happy with the results :) I can never run out of designs for my phone! Below are the ones I have used so far:
Left: Wrapping paper; Right: Scrapbook paper
Both from the same scrapbook paper, but cut showing the design at different positions

There will be more to come :) I have thought of drawing my own designs on paper, then it would be truly unique!
