Penny Black Postage Stamp Case-Mate iPhone Case
Features an image of the British "Penny Black" in mint condition on an old paper background. Add your own text. The Penny Black was the first adhesive postage stamp used in a public postal system. The Penny Black was issued in London on May 1, 1840. Before 1840 it was normal to pay for postage upon receipt of a letter. Postage was calculated by the number of sheets and the distance traveled. The idea of a pre-paid postage stamp was included in a set of proposals to reform the British postal system in 1837. Private postal systems may have used adhesive stamps before 1840. An engraving of Queen Victoria as a 15-year-old former princess was chosen as the design for the first stamp. It was believed that the design would be difficult to forge. All stamps of the United Kingdom British bear a picture or silhouette of the reigning monarch in lieu of the country name. All other postage stamps name their country of origin. The Penny Black was in use for only a little over a year. It was found that a red cancellation was hard to see on a black background and the red ink was easy to remove, making it possible to re-use stamps after they had been cancelled. In 1841,it was replaced by a stamp bearing the same design, the Penny Red, but printed with a reddish ink. The Penny Red was cancelled with black ink, much harder to remove. The Penny Black is not a very rare stamp. A total of 286,700 sheets with 68,808,000 stamps, were printed and a substantial number of these have survived, largely because envelopes were not normally used: letters in the form of letter sheets were folded and sealed, with the stamp and the address on the obverse. If the letter was kept, the stamp survived.

Case-Mate Phone Case, Apple iPhone 11, Tough
Creator Review
I purchased this waterfall photo case as a birthday gift. The design was created from one of my images, and my friend loved it. This case is well-suited for individuals who find the sight of flowing water to be calming, as he found the vision therapeutic. It proved to be a perfect gift for someone who already has everything.

After having this phone case for 6 months, I had to come back and write a review and I will leave a review on the BBB (Better Business Bureau) website as well just in case it gets removed off this website. This phone case took nearly 2 months for me to receive it. It got lost in transit and Zazzle never reached out to me to tell me. After a month of waiting I called them to notify them that I have not received my case. That’s when they reordered another one; but I believe that if I had not called, they would’ve swept my purchase under the rug and never established a refund or replaced the item lost. After not even a month of having the phone case it cracked on the side and now having the case for only 6 months now the back of my phone is completely shattered. I am still paying on this phone and this expensive case that I paid over $30 for did not offer any protection to prevent my phone from shattering. I am here to warn others of purchasing from this company! This case is not what they make it seem. It doesn’t even fit completely around the phone, the top and bottom part of the phone isn’t covered by the case leaving space for it to get damaged. The case itself is very flimsy and the design is very flat. This item was not worth the price & I am very angry with this company and will never purchase from them again. Very poor printing! My phone case does not match or reflect the advertised picture, I thought the glitter would be more realistic. The art is very flat and this company should feel ashamed for the price they charge for this cheap case! I now have to go on Amazon and purchase another case that’ll actually look nice and be inexpensive while offering full shatter protection to my phone.
