"Phone cases are impossible to photograph without reflections. This tool removed the glare and made my designs actually visible. Game changer for my shop." @CaseCraftCo
Built for Etsy Phone Case Sellers
Phone case buyers make split-second decisions based on whether they can see the design clearly. Reflections, glare, and poor angles kill sales before a buyer even clicks your listing. EditThisPic removes those barriers -- describe what you want and get a clean, professional mockup that puts your design front and center.

How to Create Phone Case Mockups for Etsy
-
Upload your phone case photo
Drop your phone case image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Photograph the case from a slight angle to show the design -- the AI handles reflections and background issues. Phone camera photos work fine.
Reflection removal: 15-20 seconds. Full lifestyle mockups: may need 2-3 refinements. -
Describe your ideal mockup
Type what you want: 'remove reflections and place on clean white background' or 'show this case held in hand at a coffee shop desk.' Be specific about removing glare and how you want the design displayed. The AI understands phone case photography challenges.
Always mention 'remove reflections' or 'no glare' in your prompt -- this is the single biggest improvement for phone case photos. -
Review design clarity
Zoom into the case design area. Check that text is readable, artwork is sharp, and colors are accurate. Verify the case edges look clean and the overall shape reads as a phone case at thumbnail size.
Check your mockup at both full size and thumbnail -- Etsy search results are small, and your design needs to read clearly at every size. -
Refine edges or details if needed
If the case edges, camera cutout, or button areas need cleanup, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Phone cases have precise geometry -- markers help the AI nail the exact shape.
The camera cutout area is the most common spot needing refinement. A quick marker there saves a redo.

Common Phone Case Mockup Issues
Reflections still visible after editing
Why: Strong point-source reflections (like a window or light fixture) can be stubborn, especially on high-gloss cases.
completely remove all reflections, glare, and hotspots from the phone case surface, reveal the full printed design with no interference
Try photographing from a slight angle to reduce initial glare. Less glare in the original gives the AI a better starting point.
Case shape looks distorted or unnatural
Why: The curved shape of phone cases can confuse the AI when repositioning, especially at extreme angles.
show phone case with accurate proportions and natural curved shape, design wrapping realistically around the case surface
Photograph the case at a slight angle rather than dead-on flat. This gives the AI better depth cues to work with.
Camera cutout area looks messy
Why: The camera lens opening is a complex geometric detail that can lose definition during background changes.
Tap markers on the camera cutout area, then regenerate with: clean up phone case edges and camera cutout, maintaining precise geometric details
Markers on the camera cutout tell the AI this is a precise product detail, not part of the background.
Design text is blurry or unreadable
Why: Small text on a curved surface loses detail when the AI processes the image, especially at lower resolutions.
enhance the printed design, making all text sharp and readable, preserve fine details and typography
Upload at the maximum resolution possible. If your case has text, make sure it's in focus in the original photo.
Colors of the print don't match the real case
Why: Different lighting environments and background colors shift how the printed design appears.
maintain exact print colors as in the original photo, preserve color accuracy of the design, keep true-to-life saturation
Mention specific colors in your prompt: 'keeping the navy blue and gold exactly as photographed' for precise color matching.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove reflections from glossy phone cases?
Include 'remove reflections and glare' in your prompt. The AI identifies light reflections on the case surface and removes them, revealing the full printed design underneath. For stubborn glare, try a second pass with markers on the remaining reflection spots.
Can I create hand-held mockups without a model?
Yes! Describe the scene: 'show this case held in hand at a coffee shop' and the AI generates a realistic lifestyle mockup. No need to hire someone or awkwardly photograph your own hand. The AI creates natural-looking in-use shots from your flat product photo.
What angle should I photograph my phone case at?
A slight angle (about 15-30 degrees) works best. Straight-on flat shots can look like just a rectangle with a print. A slight angle shows the case's shape and depth while keeping the design readable. The AI handles the rest regardless of your original angle.
Will the AI preserve my design details and text?
Yes, when you tell it to. Add 'preserving design details sharply' or 'maintaining text readability' to your prompt. Upload at the highest resolution possible -- more pixels means more detail for the AI to preserve on the small case surface.
Can I show the same design on different phone models?
The AI works with whatever case photo you upload. If you have the same design on an iPhone and Samsung case, upload each separately and create mockups for both. You can use the same prompt for visual consistency across different phone model listings.
How many listing photos should I create per case design?
Etsy allows 10 photos per listing. For phone cases, aim for at least: one clean white product shot, one hand-held lifestyle mockup, one flat lay with context, and one close-up detail shot. Each serves a different purpose in convincing the buyer.
