What is Gothic Revival?
Born in the 18th century, Gothic Revival art and architecture took inspiration from medieval cathedrals and romantic poetry. Think dramatic arches, ornate tracery, wrought iron and intricate lacework. It’s a movement that celebrates emotion over symmetry, craftsmanship over convenience — and its influence is impossible to ignore even in today’s day and age.
Fast-forward a few centuries and the same design DNA lives on in OtterBox’s Gothic Revival collection. Each case echoes that architectural legacy through texture, pattern and finish — reimagined for the modern world. The result is a phone case that feels as timeless as stained-glass windows but as practical as MagSafe charging.
Gothic Revival collection styles
Dark romance meets everyday armor. Each design in this collection captures a different facet of the Gothic story — from serpentine strength to shadowy lace and somber florals.
Serpent phone cases
Textured, tactile and completely mesmerizing, Dark Serpent channels transformation and power. The textured serpent phone case features a scaled surface with subtle metallic undertones, giving your device a sense of motion and mystique even when it’s still.
Serpents have long symbolized renewal and rebirth in Gothic mythology — and now they’ve slithered into the spotlight as icons of resilience. This design merges the macabre with confidence, wrapping your new case in protection that’s as fierce as it looks.

Funeral lace phone cases
Meet Evening Twilight — a hauntingly beautiful design that blends dark femininity with timeless craftsmanship. These vintage black lace phone cases feature color-shifting overlays that shimmer between black and deep violet, shifting like candlelight through stained glass.
Inspired by Gothic Revival art and Victorian fashion, the delicate lacework feels like it was pulled from an antique mourning gown — but reimagined for the modern minimalist. It’s romantic, refined and just a touch eerie, proof that funeral lace can live on long past the velvet curtain.
Funeral lace phone cases for iPhone 16e/15/14/13: Drape your iPhone in vintage black lace and color-shifting violet tones for a refined, romantic and subtly eerie aesthetic.

Matte finishes on these gothic phone cases fade into deep onyx, while raised textures give your fingertips something to embrace. This design features a subtle, iridescent sheen that causes the color to shift dramatically from true black to a deep, mysterious purple — a dynamic finish that changes with every angle.
Roses in Gothic art often represent strength in sorrow, endurance through darkness and love that never fades. That’s exactly what these dark, moody phone cases embody — elegance with edge, beauty with backbone.

From Poe poems to pocket armor
If Edgar Allan Poe carried a phone, this is the case he’d choose. The Gothic Revival collection takes its cues from literature, architecture and art — the kind that finds beauty in the shadows.
Fade to black with the Gothic Revival collection, the phone cases with a macabre edge.
Slithering snakes, color-changing black lace, black roses — each design feels like it was ripped from a midnight dream.
And yet, beneath the artistry lies serious protection. Each case guards your device while draped in designs fit for a modern-day Gothic cathedral. It’s pocket armor with a poet’s heart — made to take a tumble, then take a bow.
The return of gothic aesthetics
The darker side of style is back — and not just for “spooky season.” Across runways, film and social feeds, the Gothic Revival trend is thriving again. Velvet, lace, metallics and dark romance are making their return as people lean into expressive fashion that says more than “minimalist beige” ever could.
This revival isn’t about gloom — it’s about power, depth and individuality. It’s a statement that beauty doesn’t need to be bright. And OtterBox is here for it. By pairing goth-inspired phone cases with MagSafe technology and trusted durability, we’re giving dark style a practical side. Because confidence comes from knowing your phone looks incredible — and stays protected.
For 25 years, OtterBox has built cases that help you say yes to life, no matter how dark or daring it gets.
