Crocs’ latest collab with Seoul’s SLBS reimagines the iconic clog design on a customizable phone case—with charm holes, pastel tones, and a removable strap.
In a move that’s as unexpected as it is delightful, Crocs is expanding its signature style beyond footwear. This time, Crocs is embracing the mobile accessory realm. Partnering with Seoul-based techwear label SLBS (the accessories arm of Slash by Slash), the brand has recreated its unmistakable clog aesthetic into a fully customizable smartphone case, complete with Jibbitz charm compatibility and a detachable strap. This playful collaboration, which dropped in South Korea on August 25, 2025, marks a fresh chapter in Crocs’ evolution from shoes to lifestyle statements.
The result is a smartphone case crafted from soft-touch TPU, embossed with the ventilated surface synonymous with Crocs clogs. More than just a protective shell, this case functions as a canvas for personalization through Jibbitz charms, those beloved embellishments Crocs fans have long used to make their shoes uniquely theirs.
SLBS × Crocs Phone Case Design & Features
What truly sets this collaboration apart is the inclusion of a detachable, adjustable strap that transforms the case into a wearable accessory. Whether you’re gripping it like a mini sling or carrying it like a statement piece, the case balances aesthetics and function in true streetwear fashion.
- Iconic Aesthetic, Reimagined
Crafted from soft-touch TPU, the case mirrors the ventilated upper of Crocs clogs, offering both grip and visual familiarity. - Charm-Ready Customization
Perforations, just like those on the shoes, allow users to clip on Jibbitz charms and personalize the case, extending a beloved aspect of the Crocs experience to tech accessories. - Functional Flair: Detachable Strap
The modular strap offers hands-free convenience, flip your device into a sling-style accessory, blending function with streetwear sensibility.
Colorways & Model Compatibility
In terms of styling, the phone cases are available in a palette of playful yet tasteful tones; think pastel mint, blush pink, baby blue, ivory, and classic black. It’s a color story as comforting and expressive as the shoes themselves.
Initially, the release catered exclusively to Galaxy S25 Ultra users before expanding to include newer iPhone models, signaling a broader appeal. Originally debuting for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (and broadening earlier with S25 and S25+ coverage), the collection now supports newer iPhone models, expanding accessibility.
Launch & Distribution
This product made its debut on August 25, 2025, via Korea’s trendsetting fashion platforms, Musinsa and 29CM, and has since been opened up to international buyers thanks to global shipping options.
Crucially, this launch represents more than just merchandise; it underscores Crocs’ evolving cultural strategy. Previously known for audacious footwear collaborations with names like Balenciaga, Salehe Bembury, and Lazy Oaf, this SLBS collab takes the brand in a fresh, tangential direction: lifestyle accessories that resonate deeply with Gen Z’s penchant for personalization and playful self-branding.
By making the phone case available through fashion-first platforms, Crocs is positioning it not as tech gear, but as a fashion-forward statement piece.
Why This Matters
- Unconventional Brand Expansion
- Crocs’ move into phone accessories is a bold, culture-conscious pivot that reinforces their place in Gen Z streetwear mentality.
- Customization as Core Identity
- Embedding Jibbitz compatibility into a phone case taps into Crocs’ biggest allure: personalization and individuality.
- Fashion Over Function—With Both
- The detachable strap elevates this from a simple protective case to a wearable, expressive accessory.
- Cultural Relevance & Accessibility
- By launching on Musinsa and 29CM, and offering international shipping, Crocs signals a global strategy rooted in fashion and identity, not just product.
