Every Character's Phone Case In Honkai: Star Rail, Ranked (2024)

Honkai: Star Rail has many fascinatingly unique and wonderful playable characters with charming qualities and personalities. Throughout their interactions with other characters and combat actions, they will put their entire heart and soul on display, showcasing what makes them shine bright.

Another aspect that gives you a glimpse of each character's unique personality is their phone case, which is easily missable but an incredible detail. While it is a minor detail, it makes a huge impact, as you get to see how each character handles personalizing their phone. Though, some are much better at this aspect than others...

Updated June 30, 2024, by Seth Parmer: Since we last updated this list, Firefly and Boothill have joined the Honkai: Star Rail crew. We decided to revisit it and add them to the mix, ranking their phone cases against their peers!

47 Dan Heng

While we'd like to say that Dan Heng's case isn't that bad, the thing is, he doesn't seem to have one on his phone, which sort of throws a wrench into things.

Due to this, he simply sits at the bottom of the list regarding who has the best phone case but moves him to the top of the list for people with way too much confidence in their ability to never drop their phone.

46 Blade

Blade is a dominant character and the current Banner Character in Honkai: Star Rail. However, his phone case is absolutely horrendous and is only better than Dan Heng's out of technicality since he doesn't even have a case on his phone.

His phone case is a gradient that goes from black to dark blue to dark red... and that's it: no design, touch of personality, or anything of the sort. Imagine being one of the most formidable characters money can buy to show up with this in your pocket. Yikes.

45 Hanya

Hanya, much like the previous two entries, is a tremendously fascinating and devastating character who somehow drops the ball when it comes to decking out her phone case despite having one of the best attires and aesthetics in the Honkai: Star Rail.

While there is at least a large flower decal in the bottom left corner and some diamonds here and there, the case is overall rather boring, with not much going on that highlights her personality or interests. It's not the worst one, but it's nowhere near the best.

44 Xueyi

Being the sister of Hanya, Xueyi shares a very similar phone case as a result, leading us to similar conclusions. However, in Xueyi's case, she does a slightly better job at pulling it off, as the white background allows for the gold, red, and blue colors to pop a bit more, making it stand out better than her sister's.

Overall, the design is virtually the same, aside from the positioning of the flower design and the orientation of the camera. So, while better, it's only by a slim margin, placing her slightly above her sister and below most of the other roster.

43 Aventurine

Aventurine is the latest and hottest entry to the rapidly expanding roster of Honkai: Star Rail, and has a clean and elegant fit of threads to help make him stand tall amongst the rest. So, naturally, this must mean he has a killer phone case to complement that fact, right? ...Right?

And, while it isn't horrible, it isn't necessarily what we'd call great or even good. It's mostly a gold phone case with a diamond pattern, offering splashes of blue and white with a blue diamond where the camera would be. It's fine, but definitely the least impressive of his overall design.

42 Gallagher

We should like Gallagher's phone case way more than we do, as it is themed to look like a bottle of alcohol and has a decent use of colors and personality, but it comes across as a bit too generic overall. And, while it is certainly much better than everything before it, it's not nearly as good as the others that come after it, placing it near the bottom of the list.

The label that covers the scuffed and marked brown bottle design adds much-needed color to the case, but nearly enough to make it look interesting or rise above being just 'fine' in the grand scheme of things. Even if Gallagher is a sick character overall!

41 Boothill

Boothill is the newest gunslinging cyborg cowboy to enter the massive roster of Honkai: Star Rail. So, naturally, his phone case needed to have a large bullet hole decal on it, along with a black and red color scheme. While not the worst case out there, it certainly lacks creativity.

To give credit where credit is due, the pendant behind the bullet hole is also incorporated into his overall design, along with the isotoxal stars found near the top of the case. It's just that the overall design and execution of it all is bland, leaving us no choice but to place him lower on the list.

40 Seele

On the other hand, Seele takes care of her phone and has provided a case for it, and while it won't necessarily blow you away, it does its job and fits her overall personality and abilities.

When you first meet Seele, she can appear overly serious and strict, but as you spend more time with her, you will quickly learn that she's a big softy once you crack that hard exterior of hers. This case signifies that excellently and ties into her Ultimate, further showcasing her personality.

39 Gepard

Like Seele's, Gepard's phone case is fine for what it is but pales in comparison to the others. Though having a giant shield cover the back of your phone signifies it's protected, it only makes sense with Gepard, as no one else would ever rock this.

Furthermore, while this case isn't terrible, the colors are sort of dull, leaving out the deep blues that highlight his outfit and ice-based abilities. If there were splashes of blue here, it would likely be a bit higher, but nonetheless...

38 Bronya

Bronya's phone case is where things start picking up. Still, it falls victim to many of the same issues the others do, lacking meaningful personalization by focusing purely on what they're capable of during combat.

It's undoubtedly flashier than the ones listed before, but we would have loved seeing more of her personality injected into the overall design. That said, we still really enjoy the overall look of the phone case and the colors used.

37 Jing Yuan

Jing Yuan is the star of the new banner and has one of the best aesthetics overall in the game, which is why it's surprising his phone case doesn't hit the same highs his outfit or flashy combat animations do.

Overall, Jing Yuan's phone case is solid, but it's a bit too much for our taste. The lion's head is an excellent touch, but there's just too much going on in such a small space that it seems overly crowded.

36 Argenti

While we do pride characters for stepping up to the plate and blasting their full personality on display with their phone case, there is such thing as having too much going on, which is the case with Argenti's.

The elegant picture frame with three large, gold roses on its frame, along with the single red rose in the center of the frame, is definitely a choice, but one that will get you into the bottom half of the list. Unfortunately. Sorry, Argenti.

35 Himeko

Himeko's is essentially the direct opposite of Jing Yuan's, leaning heavily on simplicity while showcasing a bit of their personality without going overboard.

This phone case has a lovely gold trim over a white background, with golden flowers making up most of the bottom half, giving you a glimpse of the elegance and power of Himeko with very little design. It's straight to the point and packs a punch, making it the best one so far.

34 Ruan Mei

Ruan Mei's phone case is extremely solid overall. It offers a nice array of colors, ranging from dark blue to muted gold to light pink and even a nice cyan, all with a double-helix spiraling up the center of it. The diamond design over the camera is also an excellent choice that helps bring everything together.

And while we like this case a lot, it just feels out of place with her overall design, which has lots of flowers, elegance, and personality built into it. On its own, this phone case is really good, but we feel it could have been much better for a character such as Ruan Mei!

33 Luocha

Luocha may be the current prize in the gacha machine, but his phone case is a little underwhelming when it comes to his overall aesthetic and appearance. While the colors and design match, we were hoping for a bit more personalization. That's not just what he's wearing but now on his phone.

Overall, it's not a terrible phone case. We just prefer the ones that have a bit more personality in them, such as the cutesy animals, anime characters, or things that they consider precious to them, such as a pet or their passions.

32 Luka

Luka's phone case is very personalized, with a cartoon-like portrayal of his personality and interests. It's very similar to Sampo and Hook's cases (which you will see very soon), making it stand tall above all the others listed thus far.

Still, something seems off about all these cases, and Luka having what is seemingly the word 'YOLO' on the back of his case in edgy lettering makes us refuse to put it any higher than here. What a cringy thing to do, Luka. Shame on you.

31 Sampo

We have to be honest; we struggled with the placement of this one strictly due to Sampo having himself on the back of his own phone case. But, the absurdity of the design saved its chances of being placed any lower than it is.

Like, come on, Sampo riding on a moped while throwing a bomb with a heart on it in front of him like he's playing Mario Kart is delightfully him, and OF COURSE he would have himself front and center of his phone case, have you met him?!

30 Hook

Hook runs into the same problems as Sampo (sorry, Hook), but hers is much cuter and more forgivable since she is a literal child that clearly drew it herself. As far as we're concerned, Sampo commissioned someone to draw himself for his own phone case, making his marginally worse.

Nonetheless, Hook's case is adorable and fits her upbeat and warm personality, making hers delightful compared to some of the others listed thus far.

29 Misha

Misha joins the ranks of cutesy characters in Honkai: Star Rail, who proudly have a chibified version of themselves on their phone cases. In this regard, it's not as bad as some of the others but isn't going to necessarily crack the top ten or anything of that nature.

What makes this case pop above some of the others is the beautiful night sky with bright stars twinkling all through it. This contrasts well with the snowcovered bottom portion, which has Misha sitting with her back turned toward us, taking in the view. Overall, it's a great phone case!

28 Serval

Serval's phone case is the definition of simplicity drenched with personality, and we love it. The record with a lightning bolt striking its center showcases everything you need to know about this rock icon that uses Lightning Damage in combat to best her foes.

The colors used on Serval's phone case are also excellent, giving you a gradient of blues for the background that's complimented with various shades of purples and pinks that bring the entire thing together.
