Crocs, one of the most divisive and instantly recognisable shoes in fashion, is once again at the centre of conversation—this time not for your feet, but for your phone. The cult-favourite footwear brand has teamed up with Seoul-based label SLBS to launch a collection of phone cases that are quite literally shaped like classic Crocs clogs. The collaboration brings Crocs’ signature quirky design sensibility to the tech world, and the response has been, unsurprisingly, mixed.
The cases mimic the iconic look of the Croc, including the textured rubber finish and the signature perforated holes. What sets them apart from other novelty cases, however, is the inclusion of actual Jibbitz holes—yes, you can now personalise your phone case in the same playful, kitschy way you’d decorate your Crocs. It’s a cheeky, conversation-starting twist on what is usually a purely functional tech accessory. This launch fits squarely within Crocs’ branding as a company that thrives on bending traditional fashion rules and transforming simple items into cult-status products.
While fashion insiders have already spotted high-fashion versions of Crocs—bedazzled, platformed, and even heeled—on recent runways like Simone Rocha’s SS24 show, this launch pushes the brand further into lifestyle territory. With the rise of tech accessories as fashion statements in themselves, the Crocs phone case is a natural, if unexpected, extension of the brand.
Currently, the cases are only available for Samsung Galaxy phones, though iPhone versions are reportedly on the way. You can purchase the full range of colours directly from the SLBS website, though international shipping charges may apply. For UK buyers, the bone-coloured Galaxy S25 Crocs Case is also available via Selfridges for £59. A more budget-friendly version for the Galaxy S24 is available through the Samsung Store on Amazon for £26.41.
And if you’re planning to deck out your new case, both Crocs and Schuh are offering a wide range of Jibbitz charms, available in individual pieces or multi-packs, starting at just £5. These allow fans to truly make the case their own, in line with Crocs’ longstanding message of self-expression and comfort.
As with anything Crocs releases, the phone cases have already split public opinion. Some fans are smitten, calling the design fun, bold, and original, while others have labelled it ‘hideous’—a familiar narrative for a brand that has never sought universal approval. But if recent fashion trends and TikTok-fuelled revivals are anything to go by, Crocs is more relevant than ever.
Whether you’re a long-time fan, a tech accessory collector, or simply in the mood to bring some humour into your everyday carry, the Crocs x SLBS phone case is the kind of product that demands attention. Love it or hate it, one thing’s certain: Crocs aren’t just back—they’re everywhere.
