Cafe Life: Make Your Own Phone Case Cafe

Seeing as I need all the coffee, I am always on the lookout for new cafes. My friends and I recently learned about a new cafe where you can drink coffee and make your own phone case. This was a must as soon as we learned about it and I plan on going back a million times to make a phone case for every season.

DB Story is a cafe in Hongdae, Seoul. It's a small cafe that you can find on google maps but could easily miss if you don't look up (ALWAYS LOOK UP). You walk up some sketchy stairs to the smallest room known to man. For us, it was packed and we couldn't really move around. You can't just sit down, you have to go up to the front and put your name on a waiting list for a seat (a mistake we made by trying to sit down first... whoops). Seating is very limited and it can take awhile to get a table. But, they give you a tray to start picking out what you want on your phone and this could take forever as well. So the time balances out. They have lots of styles of phone cases to choose from but if you have an uncommon phone, you should probably bring your own phone case (my friend has a Sol, the shittyest phone on Earth and there are no phone cases for it). I have an I-phone and there were lots of options for that phone case.

Once you pick out your case, it's time to pick out the decorations. There are hundreds of pieces to choose from. You can go with any style you want for your phone. It can be super cutesy, or a little punk, and even really sporty. There are shelves with lots of little bowls and you can pick out anything and everything you could imagine for your phone. There is also a large selection of decorative glues in lots of colors. But if you don't want decorative glue, they provide super glue when you go to pay.

After you have picked out all the decorations you need and don't need. You go up to the front counter to pay. All my decorations, black glue, and phone case cost around 15 dollars. (none of us actually ended up ordering coffee, so I cannot tell you if the coffee is good. We were too excited for making the phone case). They provide tweezers and you can pick out a nozel for your glue, depending on how you want the glue to turn out.

We all had a blast laughing about how terrible we were at making our phone cases. We honestly had no idea what we were doing but we loved every minute of it. I also am totally in love with how my case turned out. When you are done putting everything on, they stick it in a cake box to dry for a few days. Then you can pop it out and put it on your phone. If you have time, I highly suggest giving this cafe a visit, especially with friends (you can make a game of making phones cases for your friends).
