A tool for changing the game? These wacky functional phone shells make you wonder if the hole can open like this.

Have to say, the popularity of 3D printing technology, let mobile phone shell of the brain hole play, there are more folk elements, and in, must have some key words is the function of expansion.

Otherwise, a fancy phone shell, just a protective cover, can't be amazing.

For example, in the summer of 2016, it was the time when Nintendo produced the AR Hand tour of "The Fairy treasure Can dream go" hot. However, this hand tour of all kinds of experience is very good at the same time, there is also a large bug--power consumption.

You know, the biggest selling point of this game is to let people go outdoors, to find a variety of small monsters, very mobile, very not easy to recharge. If you change the average player, this problem is very good solution, with a few more pieces of rechargeable treasure on the good.

Can change and want to save trouble, and do not want to get on the charge line, tied on the charging treasure and affect the game experience of the players, you need more skills.

So, in a DIY electronic products trading site, a user named Npoole released their own ideas, with 3D printing the way to make a suitable for Samsung a mobile phone shell, while the mobile phone case also built in a large battery lithium battery, and equipped with LED indicators.

This is not finished, and soon this netizen found that the big hot spots in the outdoor play this game, there is a phone fever problem needs to be solved, so he released an upgrade version-in the phone shell "print" the cooling fan, and added more battery pack.

But it's not really big enough.

Or this game, there are players on the basis of adding batteries, further to the game to do a deep study, in the phone shell put a small copy-such as the attribute of the table, so that the mobile phone into a wizard handbook.

There are also technical teams that, for players who prefer the handle experience, incorporate the handle into the phone flap shell and combine it like a second Nintendo classic touchscreen palm machine NDSL ...

We all play games, what if you have a completely different play with everyone? The answer may be unique. We met when we were kids playing houpijin, jumping houses and rolling iron wheels.

More entrepreneurial teams have found a new way to start a business--to make a functional mobile phone case and open it up with games.

As a result, since there are Game Boy, NDSL, how can less PSP this same classic Sony handheld, in fact, as early as in 2015 there was a team launched the Resurrection version of the PSP handheld chassis.

Of course, just outside the image, and actually its appearance is to solve the user on the phone play action game with the first person shooting game of all kinds of control uncomfortable, by the way can also be in the selfie when the shooting button, or control audio and video playback, to provide a new unlocking scheme.

This time, the phone shell has some interesting changes, with the electronic product rather than a physical shell properties, really become a unique game handle.

But it still does not want the battery, just uses the low power wireless way collects the electricity to support itself to run.

This is the black technology, but also the real stunt, rather than simple on the phone shell to do some of the special effects of the article.

More importantly, these expensive mobile phone shells, whether it is crowdfunding or direct sale, do sell well.

The reason is that it is in addition to the feelings of tempting, but also to the long-tail users just need, and provide an exclusive, practical posture, belongs to the Black technology practical game posture.

This, leave, creativity is big enough, cottage enough difficult, the result of business is good enough.
