Merch By Amazon Phone Cases - (Step By Step Upload & Research)

About this video

Note: summarized from the Arabic caption track. The creator says Merch by Amazon phone cases were just activated on his account, about two weeks after their early-July launch, and walks through uploading and researching them. From Amazon’s resources page he gives the artwork size as 1800 x 3200 pixels for iPhone and Samsung cases, notes downloadable templates for tools like Photoshop, Illustrator and GIMP, and shows a preview across phone models, with variations created automatically on upload. His central design warning is the camera area: a full-cover design or text running across the back can be cut off where the camera sits, and camera placement differs by model, so designs must leave room for it. Researching live listings on Amazon and Redbubble, he finds that shirt-style designs transferred to cases, large illustrations, patterns and text designs all appear to sell, so he recommends converting existing Merch designs into phone cases. On pricing he notes the lowest price he mentions is around 13.84, many cases at 19.99, and some sellers pricing low at first to gain ranking, reviews and sales momentum ahead of Q4 rather than prioritizing profit.

Key takeaways

• Set phone-case artwork to 1800 x 3200 pixels and use Amazon’s downloadable templates for your design software
• Keep artwork and text clear of the camera area — full-back designs get cropped there, and camera position varies by phone model
• Existing t-shirt designs can be resized and reused on phone cases; patterns, large illustrations and text designs all appear among sellers
• Uploading creates the phone-model variations automatically, which the creator contrasts with the manual work of adding variations elsewhere
• Some sellers price cases low initially to win ranking and reviews before Q4; he also warns to check phrases for trademarks to avoid rejections
