Lastu phone cases with your own image – Nordic printing on birch, live preview and AI background removal

Buyer’s guide 2026

Phone cases with your own image –
this is how you make a case that belongs to no one else

Millions of people. Same black case. You’re not the same. In this guide, we’ll show how Lastu’s customization system works — and why it’s different from what competitors offer.

Phone cases with your own image is the most searched personalization query online — and for good reason. Your image, the family dog, a child’s first drawing, your company logo, or the coordinates of a place that means something. At Lastu, that doesn’t mean a generic print-on-demand sticker on a vinyl base. It means printing on Nordic birch wood, engraving into the wood surface — or combining both.

Almost every Lastu case can be customized with your own image, logo, or engraving. In this guide, we’ll walk through the whole process: how live preview works, the difference between printing and engraving, which models suit your own image, and how your order moves into production in Oulu.


No forced image placement. You decide where it goes.

With many competitors, adding your own image means one thing: the image is automatically stretched to the full size of the case, filling the surface and cropping it pretty aggressively. You don’t control the placement. You don’t control the size. You get what the algorithm decides.

At Lastu, it works differently. Live preview works with a mouse or your finger — drag the image where you want it, crop it to your liking, move it left or right. The image can be small and refined in the top corner or dominate the entire surface. It’s your call.

🖱️ Free placement

Drag the image anywhere on the surface of the case. No forced filling, no automatic cropping.

✂️ AI background removal

Remove the image background with one click — practical, for example, with a logo or pet photo.

👁️ See it before you order

Live preview updates in real time: your phone model, material, image, MagSafe — everything is visible before you decide to buy.

🇫🇮 Made in Finland

We do our printing with our own equipment in Oulu. No outsourcing, no mass production.


Image printed on wood — Lastu’s specialty

Printing your own image onto wood is a technique that demands precision. The grain of the wood lives and breathes — every case is unique, and the print result is always a little different from a similar one made on plastic or glass surfaces. That’s intentional. It’s part of why the case is yours.

At Lastu, we print just about everything every day: photos, logos, charts, art, coordinates, digitally created images, portraits, landscapes. We won’t print copyrighted Moomin or Marimekko patterns — but almost everything else is fair game.

Note: Moomin and Marimekko patterns are not included in our selection due to copyright reasons. RATIA collaboration patterns, on the other hand, can be found in their own collection — Nordic design, fully licensed.

There are also 10 ready-designed Design engravings at no extra cost to choose from for wooden cases — if you don’t want to add your own image but want more than bare wood.


Engraving

You can also add an image to a wooden case as engraving. Engraving is different from printing: it’s burned into the wood surface. The result is a three-dimensional, tactile finish — a logo or image that feels as much as it looks.

You can preview the engraving before ordering, too.

Tip

Engraving works especially well with logos, line art, text, coordinates, and simple graphic elements. For photos and detail-rich images, printing is the better option.


KUWA – when you want an image across the entire case

If you want your own image to fill the entire surface of the case — not as a small detail, but as the whole show — KUWA is made for that. It’s made from Nordic white birch, whose light surface provides the best possible base for vivid printing.

KUWA — Phone cases with your own image

Nordic white birch. Full-surface print. Flexible placement, AI background removal, live preview. Available for iPhone, Samsung, OnePlus, Google Pixel, and Nothing Phone models.
