How It Works

02
The inside of a Handheld Faceplate: a conductive pad under every button

    Real buttons

    Every button sits on a conductive pad. Press it and the pad touches your screen, so your phone feels a tap and you feel a real click. No Bluetooth, no batteries, nothing to pair.

      Magnetic connection

      Magnets pull the faceplate into place on the front of the case. It snaps on in a second and comes off just as fast when you’re done.

      Close up on the back of a PlayCase: the L and R trigger paddles

        Triggers

        L and R sit on the back, right where your index fingers rest. Your thumbs stay on the buttons and the game stays in view.

          Storage

          Done playing? Flip the faceplate onto the back of the case, where magnets hold it until next time. It’s a phone case the rest of the day.
