The Case+ is a [modular smartphone case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vrs-design-origin) to which different accessories can be attached for improved accessibility and portability. With many smartphone designs embracing modular philosophies, it makes sense for smartphone cases to follow suit, and that's exactly what the Case+ does.

The case features a metal plate to which various accessories can be magnetically attached. The add-on modules include the tilt+, an attachment that can secure a folding leather kickstand, earbud wrap and a magnetic amount that allows the phone to be attached to metal surfaces.

The Case+ also comes with an [add-on battery pack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coreplus-power-bank), the +energy, which snaps onto the back of the case. The +energy can increase the [iPhone's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bangcase) battery capacity by 100%.

The final accessory in the collection is the +wallet, which converts the case into a wallet capable of carrying cash and cards.
