I made £20,000 in 18 months by selling phone cases I made in my bedroom
A TEENAGER has made £20,000 in 18 months by selling phone cases he makes in his bedroom.
Sam Badger, 17, uses a printing press to transfer designs on to blank protectors he buys online.
His venture, On The Case 4U, sells 50 a week online and via a vending machine at Birmingham’s Bullring shopping centre.
Most sales are driven by people following him on TikTok and Instagram.
Sam, who has autism and ADHD, said: “I was worried I wouldn’t make a sale at first but I spent months researching how to make cases and how the business could work.
“I’m very proud of what I’ve achieved.”

“But it shows what you can do with hard work.
“I am so proud of him.”
