The Smiths OnePlus Nord CE5 Back Cover

The Smiths on the back of your OnePlus Nord CE5 — the mopey graphic from Manchester that still makes sense on a phone in Mumbai.

The Smiths OnePlus Nord CE5 Back Cover

The Smiths design vocabulary is one of the most recognisable in independent music — vintage photography, hand-lettered type, monochrome tones with occasional washed colour. The artwork here draws from that visual language: the typeface weight, the slightly faded print quality, the photograph-in-a-bookshop aesthetic that made the band's record sleeves inseparable from their sound. No band has a look quite like it, which means the design reads instantly to anyone who knows the reference and reads simply as something quietly cool to anyone who doesn't. Sublimation print preserves the tonal detail in the image so the analogue quality of the original artwork survives at phone-back scale.

The hard polycarbonate shell fits the OnePlus Nord CE5 with precise cutouts for the rear cameras, USB-C port, and volume keys. Slim profile keeps the OnePlus Nord CE5 comfortable in the hand without bulk. Matte finish on the back matches the understated register of the design.

Made to order in India with a lifetime guarantee on print quality. For listeners who've worn out at least one copy of The Queen Is Dead.
