To show off the endless possibilities for its uniVERSE Case System, Otterbox released a CAD file for its case accessory mount, giving consumers the chance to create their very own uniVERSE accessories.
Otterbox's three-step creation process begins by suggesting that users pick themselves up a case if they don't have one already. From there, they are able to download a complete set of files that will provide them with the ability to create their own inspiring accessories.
Some of the pre-engineered accessories that have been shared by Otterbox include a suction cup holder and a phone stand, both of which offer simple, modular solutions for making the most of the brand's versatile smartphone case in daily life.
