New Arrivals at Podbase: Museum-Quality Wall Art, Phone Straps & Expanded Case Lineup

Quick Summary

Podbase is scaling its product ecosystem with three updates built for creators and brands: a move to museum-quality wall art with sharper print clarity and framing options, the launch of phone straps as an Average Order Value (AOV) booster, and fast support for the newest devices — including custom cases for the Samsung S26, iPhone 17E, and the latest Xiaomi models. Together they let sellers diversify into premium décor and high-demand tech accessories without holding a cent of inventory. Below, we explain not just what's new, but the data and decisions behind each release.

At Podbase, we're constantly expanding our product lineup so creators and brands can offer more high-quality, customizable products. These releases aren't random — each one targets a specific gap we saw in our own seller data, from an under-served décor category to device launches where listing early is the whole game.

Let's take a closer look at what's new, and why each launch matters for your store.

Museum-Quality Wall Art

Podbase Wall Art has been upgraded to museum quality — built for customers who want premium décor with stunning print clarity and durability. These prints use high-resolution techniques that bring out every detail, color, and texture, so the result is sharp, vibrant, and gallery-ready.

This wasn't a cosmetic tweak; it was a direct response to seller feedback. As Justina, our Head of Product Development, explains: "We used to have only one option for poster paper and even though the option found its customers, we kept on receiving feedback that sellers would like more options, like having matte, thicker paper or even the option to frame the prints. That is why we worked tirelessly to find the best paper, appreciated by the art community and the frames that would not only look good, but also could be easily shipped." That's how the wall art category got to where it is today.

The print quality behind it is engineered, not eyeballed. Our operations team verifies color accuracy with a spectrophotometer, and prints land most accurately when designs are supplied in high resolution and the CMYK color space — worth knowing before you upload your gallery.

Here's why this category is a genuine opportunity rather than a nice-to-have. Wall art was a natural extension for us because, as our CEO notes, many of our digital-artist sellers had home décor as their main product category — "why do they have to look for different suppliers when they can ship and fulfill everything from a single supplier?" And the headroom online is real: "Almost 65% of wall art sales are still offline, so there is a huge potential for digital web sales." For sellers in visual art, photography, or interior-focused niches, museum-quality prints are a high-margin way to monetize the same designs you already sell on cases. There's also a built-in bundle: a phone case paired with a matching-design poster turns one order into two.

Phone Straps

The newest addition to our tech-accessory range is the phone strap — a stylish, practical AOV booster that's gaining traction fast. Phone straps keep a device secure and accessible while adding a personalized touch, whether worn on the wrist or as a fashion accessory.

Key benefits include:

• Comfortable everyday use
• Added phone security
• Designs that match phone cases or brand aesthetics

The strategy behind phone straps is straightforward: they're the cheapest, lowest-friction way to lift order value. This is the same mechanic that makes checkout upsells so profitable in our seller data — our CEO points out that adding a simple screen-protector option at checkout converts "from 3 to 10 percent" of phone-case buyers, "so with a single button in the checkout, you can get 10 euros more profit" on a customer you already paid to acquire. A strap that matches the case is exactly that kind of attach-on. At €6.95 a unit with up to ~€18 in earning potential, it pairs naturally with a case sale.

And straps are only the start of a deliberate roadmap around the phone. As Justina puts it: "It started with the phone straps in the beginning of the year and now we have a magnetic wallet, a grip variation and powerbanks coming later this year." If you build a strap collection now, you'll be ready to cross-sell the rest of that ecosystem as it ships.

New Phone Cases for the Latest Devices (Samsung S26, iPhone 17E, Xiaomi)

We've expanded our phone case catalog to support newly released smartphones, so creators can stay ahead of device trends. Our newest additions include cases for:

• Samsung S26
• iPhone 17E
• The latest Xiaomi models

As always, Podbase cases are built for both protection and customization — a durable structure that still shows your designs in vibrant detail.

Speed is the whole point here, and it's not luck. Justina describes how we work a device launch: "For these devices, the work begins the second their predecessor hits the shelves… if everything goes smoothly, we usually have the materials and user interface ready a couple of weeks before the device launch." The payoff is that our sellers can be "proactive rather than reactive" — listing cases for a new phone while the buying surge is just beginning.

The search data shows exactly why that timing matters. As of mid-2026, "iphone 17e case" draws roughly 6,600 US searches a month at near-zero ranking difficulty, and "samsung s26 case" adds another ~900 — terms with real demand and very little competition. New-phone buyers are among the most reliable case customers there are: about 68% of smartphone owners use a case, and roughly 40% of Americans replace phone accessories every six months (phone case sales statistics). Our CEO frames the scale simply: "Almost 80% of worldwide phone users have a protection for their phone. If a new iPhone launches and there are millions of devices sold, just simply multiply it by 80%."

This is also where the no-inventory model earns its keep. "There are hundreds of phones with the new one being released almost every month," Justina notes — impossible to stock physically, but trivial with print-on-demand. When demand for a device fades, "we simply stop buying them, so we do not have to throw away the undesired materials." You add the new model, retire the old one, and never eat dead stock.

Already thinking one launch ahead? Our breakdowns of the Samsung Galaxy S26, iPhone 17E, and the upcoming iPhone 18 help you plan designs before each device ships.

Final Thoughts

Museum-quality wall art, phone straps, and expanded device support give creators three new ways to diversify catalogs, reach new audiences, and lift order value — all with zero inventory risk. The common thread is margin and speed: a case costs around €10 from Podbase and sells for €35–60, our pricing runs roughly 10–15% better than competitors across most categories, and add-ons like straps stack profit onto customers you already won.

One piece of advice from our pipeline data as you add these to your store: don't wait to make them perfect. Sellers who place a sample order in their first two days and publish at least five products within 30 days are already ahead of 80% of POD stores. List the new cases, add a matching strap and a wall-art piece, and let the market tell you what's working.

We're excited to see what creators build with these — and we're just getting started. Sign up to Podbase and start expanding your catalog today.
