Mobile phone cases face increasing demands for versatility while maintaining core protective functions. Current designs must accommodate multiple device dimensions (ranging from 138-178mm in length), support peripheral attachments, and preserve IP67/68 water resistance ratings—all while keeping manufacturing costs viable for mass production.

The fundamental challenge lies in creating modular, adaptable case architectures that maintain structural integrity and device protection across varied use configurations.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including expandable component systems, waterproof modular attachments, interchangeable lens mounts, and detachable storage compartments. These and other approaches demonstrate how manufacturers are addressing customization needs while maintaining essential protective qualities.
