 What's going on everyone, Maro here with AdoDS and in today's video, we're going to be talking about one of the most popular niches in dropshipping. This niche is so popular that there's tons of people in it. Now, the fact that there's so many people in it means that there's a lot of competition, but don't worry about that because in this video, I'm also going to teach you how you can stand up above the rest so that way you can get noticed and start making some sales. So what niche are we talking about? Well, in this video, we're going to be talking about the ever popular phone case niche. Now, to help you stand up above the crowd, I'm also going to give you a list of the most popular phone cases to start dropshipping. So if you're interested in making money, dropshipping phone cases, then stick around all the way to the end of the video to find out how. Let's go ahead and roll that intro and let's get started. Now, if you want any more information on everything that I'm going to talk about in this video, including all of the different links and different variations and options that I'm going to be speaking about, then you're going to want to request our easy to reference cheat sheet. Again, in that cheat sheet, I'm going to have everything that I'm going to be talking about in this video. And if you want access to that, all you have to do is go ahead and comment down below hashtag phone cases. And let me know which one of the cases on this list is your favorite. You can either do that. You can comment which one of these is your favorite or you can also comment what your takeaway is from this video. So what did you learn from this video? Let me know down in the comments below. And once I see that you went ahead and commented that, I'll go ahead and reply back with a link to the cheat sheet. So you want to start a phone case dropshipping business. All right, perfect. Sounds easy enough, right? Find a couple cases, slap them into your store and get some sales. Well, it's not exactly that easy. When it comes to the phone case niche, there's an insane amount of products since there's so many brands, phones and each one of those brands has tons of different models. You have an immense amount of cases to choose from. So we need to narrow down some of the best phone cases for some of the most popular phone brands. So what are the most popular phone brands? Well, there's actually three top contenders. There's Apple, Samsung and Huawei, Huawei, Huawei. I can never pronounce their names right, but I'm just going with Huawei, I guess. And if you didn't understand what I said, I'm just going to put the name of the brand right here. Now, those are the top three contenders. Those are the most popular phone brands out there. But a lot of the times there's also a few other brands that sometimes come up with a phone that starts to make waves. For example, the Motorola Razr. Sometimes a few other brands come up with some pretty interesting phones that again, start to make some waves and people take notice. So it's really important to keep an eye out and just make sure that if there's any new products that you see coming up, then start doing a little bit of research on those types of cases and add a few of those options to your store. Now, as I stated earlier, there is practically an unlimited amount of options when it comes to phone models as well as phone cases. But as a general rule of thumb, when you start to select the different kinds of cases that there are for the brands that you want to sell, just look at the last two or three generations. Anything after that, typically people aren't looking for anymore. So for example, currently the latest model iPhone is the iPhone 14. So look for phone cases for the iPhone 14 and all of its different models, as well as the 13 and the 12. Not so much the 12, but still have a few different options just in case. Anything older than that, most likely isn't going to sell and people aren't really looking for it, especially when it comes to big brands like Apple and Samsung, people always want the latest tech. So they're always going to be needing the latest cases and accessories. As a quick tip, one phone brand that's actually my personal favorite that I sometimes have troubles finding cases for is the Google Pixel. So just take that as a little grain of salt. See if maybe you can check out some Google Pixel cases and add them to your store. If you do, then maybe I'll buy some off of you. OK, so before we start looking at some of the best phone cases to start selling, let's go ahead and find out where we can start sourcing our phone cases from. So to start, one of the more popular places that you can search for phone cases is going to be CJ dropshipping over at CJ dropshipping. They have tons of different variations for all of the different models. Now, you're going to have to search through a few of these because when you go looking for them, let's say here through the menu, you go down to phones and accessories and you go to cases and covers. Their menu is a little bit outdated, so you're not going to specifically look for iPhone 12 cases or iPhone 13 cases. So in order to find them, you're actually going to have to just go to cases and covers and just start scrolling down and look for all of the different options. Now, you can also search for them. Now, you can also simply search for, let's say, iPhone 14 case and you're going to have to search through all of the different listings that there are. So let's go ahead and just click on this one. And let's say you're looking for an iPhone 13 case or an iPhone 12 case for the most part on the variations, you're going to have all of the different models. Now, some different phone cases or some different suppliers are also going to have different models for different brands. So you might see Samsung as well as iPhone. But just as a quick tip, if for whatever reason, the phone case that you're looking for, you can't find on the search page. Just go ahead and click into one of the listings and look through the different variations. Aside from CD drop shipping, another reliable supplier when it comes to phone cases is going to be AliExpress. AliExpress has, again, an insane amount of different cases on here. And some of them are actually quite interesting. So let's take a look at this little smart marry case. This one just immediately caught my eye. So you can see that this one has a smart mirror, which apparently shows some details of the phone call or of whatever's on your screen on the actual phone case. So as you can see, just in this picture alone, if you're getting a phone call, you can see who's calling and then you can choose to accept or decline it. So it's pretty much like being able to see through the phone case and being able to answer or decline a call. Pretty interesting. It's a pretty cool feature to have an awesome supplier when it comes to phone cases is definitely going to be the auto DS warehouse as well as private suppliers. You have so many different benefits when it comes to using auto DS as a supplier. Just check this out. So here I logged into my account over at auto DS.com and I just headed over to the marketplace. Once I'm on the marketplace, I'm simply just going to scroll down and I'm going to click on electronics and gadgets. So we're looking for phone cases, right? So this is where we're going to search for them. So here we can easily just filter and search for phone case. And as you can see, we have tons of different options. We have some fun ones, some colorful ones, some image ones. And again, you have an endless variety. Now, what we're looking through here is pretty much any supplier. So this is including Amazon AliExpress as well as the auto DS warehouse and their private suppliers. But let's narrow it down to our private suppliers and our warehouse only. So up here, we're going to go ahead and switch the supplier to auto DS suppliers. Now, scrolling through, you're going to come across quite a few different options. But one of the ones that I want you to take a look at is specifically the ones that are shipped through the auto DS warehouse. Now, if you've always wanted to start your own brand or if you want to start branding your items, this is the way to do it. This is a great way for you to get started. So as you can see, these three different options all ship from the auto DS warehouse, not only that, but right here, you can see that it shows customizable branding, auto DS suppliers, discounted prices. So what this means is that this item is going to ship directly from our warehouse, the auto DS warehouse. Now, you also have some pretty fast shipping times. As you can see, you have 11 to 14 business days. And that's not 11 to 14 business days for us to actually ship the item. That's 11 to 14 business days for your customer to receive the item from the day that they place their order. That's some pretty fast shipping, especially in the drop shipping game. Now, let's talk about the customizable branding. This is an awesome option to add a little personal touch to all of your orders. So if you upload your brand logo to the auto DS platform, then you have the option to ship your products with a custom thank you card. Now, that thank you card is already going to be pre-written. But when it prints, it's going to print with your logo and your brand colors on it. Not only that, but pretty soon, we're also going to be having some customized packaging where you can also add your logo. So pretty soon, you're going to have the ability to start branding pretty much the entire packaging of your products. It's pretty cool, huh? Now, let me show you something else. Once we actually click into the item itself, then you have the option to check out the different colors. So you have the different variations here, the different types of phone models that it's compatible with. And you have two different options. So if you need any help on this particular product or if you want some more information on it, then you can easily click on message this supplier and you can send a message directly. Aside from that, if you actually want to add this to your store and you're ready to start selling it, all you have to do is simply click on import draft and this item will be added to your store within seconds. More specifically, it's going to be added to your draft section where you can make any necessary changes to either the title, the description, the variations, the images or whatever changes you need to make. From here, once you're satisfied with all of the changes that you made and you're ready to make it go live on your store, then all you simply have to do is click on save an import and it'll be live in your store within minutes ready to be purchased. Another fantastic supplier for phone cases is going to be Amazon. Now, the reason Amazon is on this list is because they have an insanely fast shipping speed. So if you choose Amazon for one of your suppliers, you can rest assured that your customers are going to be receiving their products or in this case are phone cases within two or three days, especially if you're using Amazon Prime. Now, if you're looking for different types of phone cases or your nonconventional phone case, really any type of case that can help you stand out above the rest, then you want to make sure you check out Etsy on Etsy. They have tons of custom and handmade items, and that also includes phone cases. A lot of these phone cases are either laser engraved, custom printed, custom branded or even custom manufactured by small businesses. Some phone cases here are actually even hand painted, which really gives it that extra little touch. And honestly, when it comes to something that's handmade or hand painted, you can charge a little bit extra for that. People are willing to pay more. So just as a quick example, let's go ahead and look at this Van Gogh case really quick and just for the laughs, let's look at this toast case. So here you have a Van Gogh case and it has an interesting piece of art, which is done by Van Gogh, of course. But then you also have a few other designs in the back. So looking through AliExpress and CJ drop shipping, I didn't really see any that looked anything like this. Now looking at the other toaster phone case, this one's just hilarious. This is an awesome case to have. This is something funny, and there's definitely a niche market for these types of products. And once again, looking through AliExpress as well as C2 drop shipping, I didn't really see these. That being said, again, most people on Etsy actually make some of these products or print some of these products themselves. The last drop shipping supplier for phone cases that we're going to talk about is going to be Target. Now, Target is a great place to be able to source your products because as a company, they have some extremely good customer service and they also have some pretty good perks. For example, they have the red card. So if you have the target red card, then you can enjoy quite a few different benefits. For one, you can get 5% cash back on almost all of your purchases. On top of that, you also have free shipping and the option for two day shipping. Not only that, but Target also has a 90 day return policy. So let's say your customer receives the item and they don't really like it maybe a week afterwards. Then they can go ahead and reach out to you and ask for a return. In this case, it'll actually be really easy for you to process that return since you have such a large return window. Now, let's talk about some of the more popular phone case styles that you can start selling. And if you want to just stick to simple and plain phone cases, that's perfectly fine. But just remember, you're going to be limiting yourself because nowadays a simple phone case really just does not cut it. Remember that people are looking to add value to their lives, even if it's with a simple phone case. And they also need that little or big wow factor. So these are some of the best phone case styles that you can start drop shipping. To start, we have the battery phone charger case. Now, this is an awesome option to have in your store because everyone is always running out of battery, especially nowadays when everyone is on social media, taking pictures, making videos, filming TikToks and constantly informing themselves on anything online. So the fact that people are using their phones 24 seven and always running on a battery really makes the battery charging phone cases a top contender to add to your drop shipping store. The next option on this list is going to be the military grade phone case. Now, we live in an age where, again, everyone is always on their phones, but not always are they always on their phones. They're always running around everywhere. So when you're running around different places, you're not really being careful. Accidents tend to happen such as you're looking at your phone, maybe you trip and your phone falls. In this case, especially if you're outside, that can pose a serious risk to your phone or your phone screen. And we all know that if your phone screen breaks or if your phone breaks, life is over as we know it. So to prevent that, a lot of people end up going with military grade phone cases for the simple fact that you can drop those from almost any altitude or maybe not almost any altitude, but you can drop them from a pretty high altitude and nothing's going to happen to the phone. On top of being heavy duty cases, they typically also tend to have a tempered glass screen protector. Usually it's already attached to the case itself, which pretty much makes it a two in one. Now, the third option on this list is going to be similar to the second one, but it's going to be a bit lighter and a bit less heavy duty or bulky. And we're talking about lightweight shockproof phone cases. Now, these phone cases are a bit more generic and they tend to sell a little bit more, especially with some of the younger generations. These cases typically tend to be a bit thinner, a bit more colorful, and for the most part, easier to put on. A lot of the times they just slide right on. Now, these cases don't provide the durability that the military grade cases do, but they do provide a small bit of shock protection. So if you drop them, they will still be protected, just not as much as, let's say, the military grade. Now, as a quick tip when selling these cases, they are going to typically also be cheaper than most other cases. So since that's the case, you can always offer packs of two or three in a few different colors. A lot of the times people buy these types of cases so they can constantly switch up the colors, so you can always offer just one or you can offer a bundle so that way your customer can have options. And remember that when you're offering a bundle, it's a good idea to offer it at a discount. Up next in our fourth spot, we have the Simple Silicone Phone Case. Now, this is the simplest of the simple, the most basic of the basic phone cases. These are probably one of the more popular ones as well, since they also tend to be some of the cheaper ones to purchase. A lot of the times just like the lightweight shockproof ones, people purchase these in sets or they purchase multiple so they can match them with different outfits or different accessories. Next up, we have the Glitter Design Phone Case. Now, this type of phone case is actually extremely popular amongst women as well as teenage girls. For the most part, that is gonna be your target demographic when you're targeting people using something like Facebook ads. Now, personally, I can say that these are a very popular type of phone case because my wife has like 10 of them. She has them for almost every phone that she's ever owned. And for the most part, she has two or three different ones for each phone. Now, this next style is a timeless design. It goes great with literally any type of phone model that you choose to add it to. And honestly, it just looks good. It's simple, it's basic, it's sleek. And we're talking about the Black Leather Phone Case. Simply just that. Nothing fancy to it, no shockproof, no bulkiness. It's just a nice little sleek case that goes on the phone. Now, even though these aren't flashy and they probably don't have the crazy protection that something like a shockproof case will have, people absolutely love these because of its classic look. It's simple, it's basic, and it just looks nice. If you're looking to match it with accessories or with whatever you're wearing, it really is just gonna go with absolutely anything. The Mirror Flip phone case is up next. And we actually just spoke about that earlier when we were looking over the different suppliers. But if you did miss that and you skipped all the way to the phone case countdown, then don't worry about it. Pretty much what this is is just a simple foldable phone case. For the most part, they're gonna have the little flap that folds over the top of the screen. And a lot of the times, let's say, if you're receiving a phone call, you can easily swipe directly from the case. You don't even have to open it. So you can see your different notifications directly on the screen itself because of the see-through case. And again, most of the times, these see-through cases are also gonna be touchscreen friendly, so you can touch the case itself to gain access to certain things on your phone. Next up, we have another classic that comes in quite a few different variations as well as colors. And that's gonna be the matte colored phone case. Again, this is a simple case that goes on the phone. It has a little bit of protection. It could potentially have a little bit of protection on the screen because I don't know if you can see here, but a lot of the times they have a little lip on the top and then they also have it on the bottom right here. So what that does is whenever you place your phone face down, then the screen's not gonna be touching whatever surface you put it on. That's actually something really good to advertise on any phone case. If the phone case that you're offering does have a lip on each side, then you can market it as some sort of screen protection. Next up, we have a pretty unique case and that's gonna be the wallet phone case. Now this comes in a few different varieties. It can either come as a simple foldable wallet or it can come as one of those crazy wallets that women always have in their purses that have tons of different pockets in them. Yep, they have some that are like that as well. So just simply looking at this picture right here, you can see what I'm talking about. This one has a little spot for the money. Then it also has for the cards, has more cards. And then all the way in the bag, it has a little spot for the phone. Again, there's tons of different varieties when it comes to this type of phone case. So always offer as many as you can to fit a wider demographic. Also remember that these can also come in different materials. Some will be leather, some will be faux leather, some could be plastic and some others could be just some basic silicone. Again, they come in a ton of different variations. So just offer everything that you can. Now, for everyone that actually loves the look of their phone, myself included, I really like how the Google Pixel looks. I like how the back looks. I like how shiny it is. For people that like their phones and like how it looks, you can also offer the transparent shockproof phone case. This is similar to the lightweight one, except typically these are gonna be fully transparent so you can see the entire design of the phone itself. Another very popular option that you have to offer is the solid color gel phone case. These typically have a gel feel on the outside and they feel a little bit rubbery. They provide a really good grip so that way it's not easy to drop and they come in almost any color imaginable for any phone imaginable. And that is how you can start your own drop shipping phone case business. Remember that this is a pretty wide market. There's a lot of competition in it but if you stick to some of the tips that I mentioned in this video, it will be easy for you to stand out and make a few sales.
