Do you smell that? That’s the smell of new technology in the morning! With the release of the new iPhone 6 imminent (tomorrow as of this writing), fans look for ways to showoff they’re love for Disney and Disney knows that. Announced on the Disney Parks Blog, D-Tech on Demand will begin selling iPhone 6 cases on September 20th at the Co-Op store in Downtown Disney Marketplace. Other locations at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland will be added in October. You’ll be able to pick from over 170 designs to customize your new iPhone 6 and Disney even gave us a preview of 3 new designs they’ll be introducing with the launch of the iPhone 6 cases.

For those of you who purchased an iPhone 6 Plus (like myself), we’ll have to hang on just a little longer as they launch of those cases won’t be until later in the Fall.
