NAT

Gate-side phone fix in NAT before your flight

On the airside level of Terminal NAT, La casa de las carcasas focuses almost entirely on phone and tablet accessories, so this is where you sprint if your case cracks on the way to Alicante. Expect wall-to-wall cases for iPhone and Samsung models, plus a rotating rack of budget power banks and basic wired and wireless earbuds. Prices land in typical Spanish high-street territory, not duty-free bargains, but not gouging either.

The shop sits in the main commercial strip of NAT after security, so you pass it on the way from central security to several Schengen gates. Open for standard terminal hours tied to departures, it’s usually trading from early-morning first banks to late-evening flights. You’ll see racks grouped by device type and model number; bring your exact phone model (e.g., iPhone 13 vs 13 Pro) to avoid the usual “it almost fits” issue.

Best buys here: silicone or TPU cases in solid colors, generic glass screen protectors, and basic charging cables in USB-C and Lightning. Expect mid-teen euro pricing for simple cases and under €20 for a small power bank. Skip the novelty cases with bulky attachments if you’re tight on cabin baggage size, and think twice about impulse-buy speakers you then have to drag onto a Ryanair or Vueling flight.

Quick tip: snap a photo of your phone’s model info in Settings before you reach NAT; it saves a lot of back-and-forth at La casa de las carcasas when the staff asks for the exact version.
