Academy Cast iPhone Case – The Eminence in Shadow

Before the hood comes out, there is school. The Academy Cast iPhone case shows the daytime half of Cid's double life: uniforms, polished wood and warm afternoon light, with the future eminence in shadow doing his best to look like nobody special.

The Academy Cast key visual on a slim iPhone case

The season 1 cast poses in a wood-panelled hall with a grandfather clock and gilded frames on the walls. Cid stands near the top in his navy and gold academy uniform, surrounded by classmates in the same colours, some standing, some seated on a red carpet, one holding a bunch of orange flowers. At the Midgar Academy for Dark Knights, Cid plays the forgettable background student on purpose, which makes this cheerful group portrait an inside joke for anyone who knows what he gets up to at night.

Day and night

The warm golds make this the brightest case of the line, a good pick if you want the series without the gloom. The same artwork comes as the Academy Cast canvas tote, and the Shadow Garden Lineup case shows who these students are up against after dark.
