The Founder
We had the most pleasure of having to interview the founder of CasesbyWf herself, Ain Nurina that provided us with many exclusive insights on the brand. Ain Nurina was just a design student at Multimedia University when she decided to pursue on building CasesbyWF, that was aided with the help of her parents.
Her biggest inspiration, it being her mother, Ain Nurina had grown up observing the ways her mother conducted her own various businesses ranging from opening bridal stalls to selling food, in which what contributed to her big interest in business since young.
In observation of seeing the successes and downfall of business through her mother, Ain Nurina used it as a learning curve that she instills in her current business. Her success of CasesbyWf is through the contribution of her own business strategy and skills, as well as through everlasting support from her family.
Behind the Name
CasesbyWf is actually an abbreviation on the full name that is Cases By Wallflower. Initially starting as Wallflower store, based on the founder’s previous shawl business, she eventually decided not to focus too on the Wallflower name in for her tech case business because it can be perceived to be too girly.
So then, a new name was sought out for a more gender neutral outlook. Thus, the name CasesbyWf was chosen. This brand is the sister brand of Wallflower Store.
The Journey
The Beginning
The idea that sparked the start of CasesbyWf was when Ain Nurina tried finding a phone case store that encased unique designs, but there was no luck. The only desirable options of phone cases was only obtainable and had to be purchased from overseas brands that are expensive when converted to MYR and the local phone cases sold found, had very standard designs.
So then, with her being a design student herself and also the ability to sketch and draw her own designs, she came up with the idea of starting a local phone case brand that was affordable as well as unique in style and good in quality.
Being an avid fan and collector of phone cases, she really knew the elements to look for phone cases that she incorporated into her brand. With her known previous experience in business of Wallflower Store, she has a basic understanding of business, that has proven in to help in her current business of tech cases.
Brand Challenges
For a business, there always come issues and hurdles along the way. CasesbyWf has indeed gone through its own challenges.
Stolen Designs
CasesbyWf, known for its exceptional hand-drawn designs on their phone cases, faced the issue of their exact designs and patterns being copied and sold off for less by other tech case sellers as well as china manufacturers, that targeted worldwide wholesalers. Even though facing through this real issue, CasesbyWf prevailed and handled this issue by choosing to just move forward in continuing to build the brand stronger with creating and producing more exclusive designs.
Competition

Entrepreneurial Advice
The founder of CasesbyWf, Ain Nurina has advice and words of encouragement to those who are seeking out to start or at least interesting in starting your very own business.
Stop thinking about it and just do it. People tend to think about it too long and end up just thinking about it. It won’t happen.
So when you do it you will see progress, and from there, little by little you will be motivated to really push yourself and make it big.
Ain Nurina, 2019.
