“This isn’t just a hack anymore; it’s the biggest project I’ve ever done.”The iPhone case is available for “most models” starting today via obsoless.com, with pricing set between $45-$55.
Features include support for MagSafe charging, data transfers to computers, CarPlay, and 9V fast charging.

“I guarantee the following: Fast charging, data transfers to computers, and CarPlay.
