The covers went on sale yesterday and are designed by Sir Richard Branson, musician Natalie Imbruglia, ksubi and Dean Good, a previous recipient of support through the Oasis Network. The four designs are available on cases for a small range of handsets, including the iPhone 4/4S, the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. They are available online or through Virgin Mobile stores.
“Virgin Mobile’s Covers for a Cause reminds us all that the young people who find their way to Oasis are homeless, not helpless. If we make enough noise we can shine a light on this important issue and help put an end to youth homelessness,” said Branson in a statement.
The four designs are representative of “Dreams”, as interpreted by each of the designers. Branson’s design features a space theme, with an astronaut and small planets, dove-tailing with the entrepreneur’s continuing investment in commercial space travel.
