This is the best advice you will get. I would recommend the flashforge creator. It's a little more than your budget but it has support in the community as well as a heated bed dual extruders and lots of options down the road. PLA would not be a choice I would make for cell phone cases as it is not impact resistant. PLA is very forgiving and easy to print and it has it's place but it's not durable in a wide range of situations like ABS and Nylon are.
