Meet her gaze. Your phone will be fine.

This Medusa phone case brings the snake-haired gorgon of Greek myth to your everyday carry, drawn in bright, bold color on solid black. Keep it for yourself, or slip it in with your Greek mythology gifts for the friend who can name every Olympian.

The design: Medusa in full color

Medusa looks straight out at you with a pale mint-green face, arched dark brows, red-pink eyes and calm, closed lips, a small jewel-like mark set on her forehead. Her crown is a living tangle: coral-red and green snakes with patterned scales coil through her hair, a few lifting their heads at the very top. Behind them, long wavy locks in deep blue-teal and slate spill down past her chin, with red tendrils curling out at the sides.

The style is modern and graphic, with clean outlines and smooth, shaded color, closer to a bold poster or a tattoo sheet than an old engraving. It all sits on solid black that covers the whole back of the case, so the mint, coral and teal really pop, and only the camera opening shows your phone's own color.

In Greek myth Medusa was the one mortal gorgon, the woman whose gaze turned onlookers to stone until Perseus came with a polished shield. Here she is calm rather than monstrous: a striking portrait that nods to the old story and gets a knowing smile from anyone who knows it.

Built for the daily grab-and-go

• The black print covers the solid polycarbonate back from edge to edge
• Flexible, see-through side walls bend just enough to pull the case on or off
• The front rim stands about 0.5 mm above the screen
• Cutouts sit right over the ports, so a cable plugs in without removing anything
• Charges on a wireless pad with the case left on
• Shields the back and sides from scratches, dust, oil and dirt

Who it's for

Greek mythology fans, readers of myth retellings, classics students and anyone drawn to bold, colorful art with a little bite. It looks right on a café table, a studio desk or peeking out of a back pocket. Good moments to give it: a birthday for the friend who loves the old myths, a graduation for a classics or art student, the holidays, or a just-because for someone who never backs down from a stare.

Quick answers

Which phones does it fit?

Each case is cut for one iPhone model, 19 in all: the 7/8, the 2020 iPhone SE, X/XS, XR and the 11, 12, 13 and 14 series. Choose your exact model in the Size menu, since each Pro and Pro Max has its own case.

Is the art scary or gory?

Not at all. Her expression is calm and steady, there's no blood and no stone statues, and the snakes are drawn as bright, patterned coils. It reads as bold portrait art rather than horror, so it suits the office as easily as a night out.

Does my phone's color show through?

Only around the camera. The black print covers the rest of the back, so Medusa looks the same whether your phone is light or dark.

Can it handle a drop?

It's an everyday cover, not armor. It has no drop rating and is not waterproof, so treat it as a guard against scratches and scuffs in daily carry.

Do I need to do anything before using it?

Check the inside of the case for a thin protective film and peel it away before your phone goes in.
