Animal Crossing New Horizons: How to Change Nook Phone Case

You can change the case on your Nook Phone in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Here's how.

There are plenty of new items to spend your hard earned Bells and Nook Miles on in Animal Crossing New Horizons, including a customizable phone case. Problem is, the game doesn't do a great job at explaining how to actually put it onto the back of your phone, so we've put together a guide on how to do so. We'll cover where to purchase the new phone case and then lead you through applying it to your Nook Phone.

Where to Buy the New Phone Case

You can pick up the new phone case kit by heading to a Nook Stop terminal (for more on Nook Miles head here). From here, scroll through the catalogue, the phone case is in there once you've done the customization workshop. You'll only need to buy it once to have access to a wide range of colors.
