The Backbone kit consists of the phone case itself, a wireless receiver card that attached in the back and a wireless charge pad. There's also a screen protector, micro USB cable and an audio extension cable that can be used with headphones. The kit has a smart modular design that allows for the receiver card to be replaced by a back-up battery for additional charge. This wireless charging case is truly a drop-and-charge solution -- all you have to do is hook up the charge pad with a computer or wall outlet via micro USB and place the phone on the case. The Backbone costs $110 for the case and charging pad, with an extra $46 landing you the back-up battery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wireless Charging Cases:** The Dog & Bone Backbone case offers a convenient drop-and-charge solution for wireless smartphone charging. - **Modular Design:** The smart modular design of the Backbone case allows for versatility and the possibility of adding additional features such as a back-up battery. - **Shockproof Protection:** The Backbone case provides shockproof protection for iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S while also allowing for wireless charging. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can capitalize on the trend of wireless charging cases by developing innovative and stylish options for smartphones and other devices. - **Mobile Accessories:** The mobile accessories industry has the opportunity to create complementary products such as wireless charging pads and extended battery packs for wireless charging cases. - **Smartphone Manufacturing:** Smartphone manufacturers can incorporate wireless charging capabilities into their devices or collaborate with third-party companies to create compatible wireless charging cases. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adaptable Slim Smartphone Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2in1-wireless-charger.md) - [Smartphone Wallet Folio Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pad-quill-leathersafe-pocket-book.md) - [Fast Wireless Phone Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charger-iphone-magsafe.md) - [Transparent Wireless Smartphone Batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/momax-qmag-power-8.md) - [Origami-Style Charger Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicharge-folding-wireless-charger.md) - [Bed-Like Technology Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foam-wireless-charger.md) - [Efficient Wireless Charging Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charging-accessories.md) - [Multifunctional Magnetic Smartphone Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimfo-charger.md) - [Wireless In-Care Phone Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nano-wireless-car-charger.md)
