In today's era, selfies are a part of one's life. To most people, social media is already a part of their everyday lives and they feel good whenever someone "liked" their post. One major factor to have a so called "perfect selfie" is the lighting. We all know that natural lighting is our best friend during selfies, but what happens when the sun is setting or its already dark?
Here comes the Lumee Case!
Here comes the Lumee Case!
So what the heck is a Lumee case?
These cases are popularly used by the Kardashian-Jenner clan. You know how much selfie they take in a day 😊. Well before the Kardashian-Jenner clan knew the Lumee case, its inventor Allan Shoemake who is a photographer in the States first made a prototype of the Lumee case by just placing LED christmas lights around the laptop so that they can have a good lighting whenever him and his daughter would have a video call. (Ang taba ng utak!! 🤓)
Ok, enough of the history.. Let's proceed with the review. Alam ko naman that this is what you came for. 😂
Finding an original case in the Philippines was hard. I even thought of ordering in their website, but helloooo!! Ang mahal kaya! The original case from their website was $54.95 for an iPhone 6s case (you do the conversion, shempre nag-iiba ang ForEx rates natin 😋). Ofcourse I wouldn't buy a phone case with that amount! Ang dami ko nang mabibili sa pera na yun haaaaa.. So I continued searching.
In hopes of finding a cheaper way to get the Lumee, I scouted different websites which offer personal shopping in any US-based website and have the items delivered in just a week or two. I chose to buy from Arenade.PH because I got the fastest reply from them plus they have an on hand of the Lumee Case. Hooraaaay!! 🙌 What's even great was that the price was just half of the original price. Ofcourse I had my doubts if it was an original or not, they assured me that it was original and that I can return the product if it didn't meet with my standards. They also told me that the reason why the price was just half of the original price, they were able to buy the case during one of Lumee's sale in their website (faith must be in my way that time 😇).
I also asked them if it was possible to get the item the same day I texted them (excited ako eee!), they said that it was possible but the item was not in their office so I have to wait for it. Since their office was just nearby from where I was that time, I just waited.
And here is my Lumee Case!!

And here is my Lumee Case!!
The case has a built in rechargeable battery that lasts up to 36 hours with full intensity lighting. I must say that the battery life of the Lumee case is pretty good cause I haven't charged it again since the first one and the case is with me for almost a month now. The only downside of the case for me is that it doesn't have a battery indicator (I just have to charge it when I feel like I've used it so much). The light intensity of the case can also be adjusted so you can have just the right amount of lighting.
Because of my excitement, I immediately tried it after putting my phone in it and it was really helpful.
The Lumee case was really fun to use. Though it may add some bulk to your phone, I've added a phone holder at the back of the case (which I replaced with a popsocket cause I like it better) so it'd be easier to hold the phone and take selfies.
My overall experience using the Lumee case was fun. I can still have great photos even in places with poor lighting. 😍 👍🏼
