Which retailers sell phone covers in physical stores?

Content

Which retailers, including both major chains and smaller specialty shops, sell phone covers in their physical stores across different regions? I’m particularly interested in stores like Best Buy, Target, or mobile carrier outlets, but also curious about any department stores, electronics retailers, or tech accessory shops that carry a variety of phone cases from basic silicone to branded options. Additionally, are there any discount stores or home goods retailers that might offer phone covers in their physical locations?

Variations exist by location: Urban stores may offer premium brands (OtterBox, Spigen), while suburban/rural stores focus on budget options. Carrier stores prioritize model-specific cases, while big-box retailers highlight multi-device compatibility. Inventory turns with trends, so seasonal designs (e.g., holiday themes) appear seasonally.
