Designer cases refer to any case bearing a designer brand name. Some top-end fashion moguls like Channel, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton have released designer cases. So have the Walt Disney and Hello Kitty franchises. Smaller designers, like Mujjo, may be specialists in designer tablet cases as well.

Smaller manufacturers can sometimes afford to be even more daring in designer case designs than their large-branded competitors. They offer cases made of exotic material up to and including animal skin. Models can sport carrier straps and lots of storage space for personal items or tablet accessories.

Tablet designer cases have seen demand rise for a sub-category - bling cases. Such trendy colorful and patterned designer tablet covers often feature some pop-cultural icons like Hello Kitty or Swarowsky crystals.

The prospective owner of a designer tablet case should expect to pay more for these prestige items than for a similar-styled case. Particularly when such designer cases are limited-edition releases.
