What is Lastu?

Lastu is a Nordic phone case and cover brand born in Oulu in 2011 from one simple question: could plastic mass be replaced with something more authentic – something that feels Northern and shows your own mark?

Lastu is a piece of nature that travels with you

When winter tightens its grip and the snow crunches under your shoes, it’s easy to notice what is real and what is only surface. Lastu is made for those who appreciate the feeling in hand – the kind you can almost smell: birch, leather, forest. Not because everyday life needs to be romanticized, but because everyday life deserves something of your own.

The heart of Lastu is not “just a phone case.” It is a sign of identity: a small object in your pocket that reminds you technology can be personal. And sometimes that personal touch is as simple as your own image, your own logo, your own message – or a choice that simply feels right.

Fifteen years of stories from Oulu to the world

Lastu was founded in 2011 in Oulu. Fourteen years later, Lastu’s Case have found their way to more than 30 countries. Along the way, there have been recognitions, bold material experiments, and above all, a persistent desire to do things our own way.

2011 – the beginning

It all started with the idea of replacing the traditional plastic Case with something more meaningful – Nordic natural materials. The first products went on sale, and every piece was already one of a kind.

2014–2016 – the first recognitions

Lastu gained visibility and trust through major recognitions along the way: in 2014, the Design Act of the Year award, and in 2016, Sakari was named Young Entrepreneur of the Year in Finland.

2018 – the world’s first M05 Case

In 2018, Lastu made history by launching the world’s first M05 camouflage phone cases based on the official pattern of the Defense Forces. It was a statement: materials are not decoration – they are part of the story.

2019 – personalization and colors

In 2019, personalization took a big step forward. Color printing and adding your own images or logos made Lastu even more clearly what it is today: a platform for building a Case that looks like you.

2020 – collaborations and international growth

In the 2020s, Lastu expanded into collaboration projects. The RATIA collaboration sold over 20,000 cases, and a charity partnership began with the Your Finnish Friends organization. At the same time, shipments continued to reach more and more countries.

2022 – a digital leap and live preview

In 2022, the online store experience was taken to the next level: your choices appear in a real-time live preview. When you choose the phone model, material, personalization, and MagSafe readiness, you see the result instantly – no guesswork.

Why does Lastu feel different?

Because Lastu doesn’t try to please everyone. It makes room for your own taste, your own humor, your own story. One day it’s understated and dark, like a campfire site after rain. The next, it’s loud – with your own image, logo, or text that makes a friend ask: “where did you make that?”

  • Personalization: add your own image, logo, or idea and make your phone cases truly yours.
  • MagSafe-ready: MagSafe compatibility can be selected for every Lastu from the product page options.
  • Live preview: see your choices in real time – no need to leave the final result to imagination.
  • Nordic craftsmanship: designed and made in the Nordics, for the realities of northern everyday life.
