In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, players can change their Rotom phone cases. There is even a store in the game where players can go to buy new cases. Although a ton of cases can be bought through the shop, there are also some that can be earned by having certain save files on your Nintendo Switch device.

Anyone with a Pokémon Let’s Go! Pikachu or Eevee save, a Pokémon Sword or Shield save, a Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl save, or a Pokémon Legends: Arceus save can get the corresponding phone case. All four save files will rewards four different cases that can be obtained in-game by talking to the woman in front of the stairs leading to the Megagoza central plaza.
