I just read this today.

A nine-year-old girl has been scarred for life with a chemical burn caused by her mobile phone case.

"Toxic" pink glitter leaked onto her leg while she was in bed, leaving her with a mark in the same shape as her iPhone 5c
The case was bought from New Look store in Cambridge. They have now removed the case from the shelves

I recently saw a similar article online whereby someone had their phone in the pocket. To be honest, I think all cases like that (which have some sort of liquid in them) are dangerous. They do look pretty but I wouldn't risk putting a £5 liquid cover on my £600 phone.

She won't do that again, maybe possibly a skin graft
