PlayCase: Your iPhone as a Proper Game Console

Combines durable phone protection with precise game controls

Introduction to the PlayCase

The PlayCase isa 3D-printed case for your iPhone, designed to transform your device into a proper portable gaming console. Unlike previous products such as the GameBaby, with its sleek design but potentially limited control options, PlayCase focuses on providing high-quality physical buttons for better gameplay.

Key Features and Benefits of PlayCase

  • Physical Controls: Offers a controller face plate that bolts onto the front of the case, ensuring you have precise button inputs without needing an external accessory. The inclusion of L and R triggers provides enhanced control for various gaming experiences.
  • Customizability: Users can swap out the D-pad and buttons to suit their preferences, allowing for an optimized control scheme tailored to different games. Future face plate styles are planned for even more customization options.
  • Compact Storage: The controller portion clips onto the case, with additional parts stored in a keychain holder for easy access and portability when gaming on-the-go.
  • Concerns About Durability: While 3D-printed materials may raise concerns about durability given rough use, PlayCase offers protection for your iPhone while integrating seamlessly into gaming scenarios.

I get what you’re saying, but I can play PSP or Nintendo DS games on my iPhone.
