September 21, 2012 By Kristina

Debonair Bandit

My love affair started nearly 2.5 years ago after having a strong desire for months, I saw the love elsewhere – others flaunting it, holding their devices near and dear.

Finally it happened I plunged deep into my love affair with my iPhone April of 2010. Walked into the store and purchased the beloved iPhone 3G. Oh how I loved it. I lost my beloved iPhone in my dads pond the early Fall afternoon in 2010 while fishing with Ryan in Kansas. I had the darn thing sitting on my lap while on a rock, stood up and…. plunk – there I watched my shiny apple logo plunge deep into my dads pond’s merky water. My heartbroken, and Ryan far from thrilled with me, I took a rake a discovered my phone from the murky depths. 
Needless to say, that was the end of my 3G’s little life and I found myself with a 3GS when I had to replace it. Life was back. Thank goodness. I had my 3GS until my speaker went out earlier this year and no one could hear me speak on my iPhone without my bluetooth. So, I became one of those people that walked and talked via Bluetooth looking like someone that may or may not be talkin to themselves. 
Oh and did I mention I couldn’t hear it ring or any music?

After months of this, Ryan decided for my birthday this year it was time to get another phone for me – so I ventured to the AT&T store and found myself upgrading to the 4S. Awesome camera, Siri, swoon… 
My iPhone love continues.

Now let’s note…. ever since my first iPhone ventured to the depths of my dads pond happened Ryan has been less than convinced a phone is safe in my possession – but I’ve been taking awesome care of this one. 
I promise.
In fact, I got one fancy case that was all black with chrome – fancy right? eBay $.99 from China. SCORE! Right??! Wrong. 
Snazzy? yes. 
Professional looking? You bet’cha. 
Cheap as all get out? – yep the chrome was ever so nicely flaking off, exposing the cheap plastic and when I’d use my flash…let’s talk about a serious reflection. Geez Louise.

So…that’s when I was introduced to my newest love, a companion for life for my sweet little iPhone 4S.
This beauty…

See how beautiful my sweet little 4S looks in this?

The moment I laid eyes on these beautiful Ombre Lace Cases from Debonair Bandit I knew I needed one.
My phone needed it.
And if my iPhone had feelings & could talk she would probably tell you how fabulous it looks on her and that she gets so many compliments on her new outfit it’s ego inflating.
Seriously. 
This case is beautiful people.
Unique and beautiful and totally worth it.

When it arrived I was thrilled, and it came so adorably packaged too!

And I recently just got this one too!

This iPhone of mine has outfit changes friends.
Oh yes, she does.
How can you NOT get more than one?
With the $10* price tag per case ($10 per iPhone 4 case, other cases may vary) you can certainly afford more than one case -whether its to match your outfits or change up the case! 
Especially since the average case only is $25-$40 – so while you are shopping friends, grab a few of these adorable ones!

Alright, now that I’ve talked about my love for the cases, let me tell you about my love for Mandi – the creator and shop owner for Debonair Bandit. 
I LOVE this girl.
Seriously, she is one of the people that I could be best friends with if we weren’t 5 states away from one another…we are working on that though…right, Mandi??!!
 Not only is she awesome in her business, and creative and absolutely proactive when it comes to her products and customer service – which anyone is sure to appreciate, she is an awesome person. Over the past months I can honestly say she has become a friend.
Genuine. Sweet. And a ton of fun.
Seriously love this girl. 

Please give a warm welcome to my new friend, fabulous shop owner and A-List member, Mandi and her shop – Debonair Bandit!!!!

    OK, so Kristina, you know my recent love affair with my iPhone 4S as well. I love it and when I was told I could go and get one {by the hubby of course} I took all precautions to protect it, complete with a case that costs $79.99.

    It’s a “Lifeproof” case. It’s a good one, like the otter box, but I’m sad for my little friend because it’s like putting a pair of boring old dress pants on when you so long for that cute little mini-skirt…haha!

    {I’m sorry, I’m lovin’ your post about your iPhone because I feel so goofy, head-over-heals in love with mine too}

    It’s ugly…well for a girl anyhow…but I have a horrible habit of dropping my phone IN my food. I take too many pictures of my food…

    BUT, I have waited long enough after seeing your iPhone with that beautiful little case and I am ordering mine this weekend! I am super excited!!!

    So today, I need to get a screen protector because the case I have now is all inclusive so I didn’t need to buy one then…

    Love the post and LOVE Mandi’s cases…

    Thanks for making iPhones beautiful everywhere.

    Kim
