You would like it turn your phone into a handheld console similar to the Game Boy thanks to a simple case? One of the biggest annoyances of using a mobile controller is having to remove the case to connect it. There are also Bluetooth solutions, but in this case they force you to use the phone as an external screen. In short, in some occasions it is not very practical to play from the phone, especially with older titles.
The Game Boy-like phone
Lately, alongside traditional solutions, products are also coming out on the market that attempt to overcome the problem described above, and therefore do not require the assembly or disassembly of external devices. This is the case of PlayCase, a case that integrates a controller, perfect for retrogaming and more.
This is a 3D printed product that costs $50. It has a front controller board that screws onto the front of the case, giving you physical buttons to use with games. It also has L and R triggers on the back, and you can swap out the D-pad and buttons for other modules to make sure you get the controller style you prefer. It looks like there will be more expansions for the case in the future, to cover all your gaming needs.
If you want, when you’re not playing, you can remove some parts of the case, turning them into a key holder. It’s honestly hard to say how practical it is to play with a controller like this, but the idea is certainly interesting.
If you are interested, you can order PlayCase from official store.
