The Backpacker phone case has a lot of things going for it, with the exception of being sleek or thin because it’s neither of those. Rather, the case makes your phone look like the hunchback of iPhone-dame (sorry, couldn’t resist!), but that hump right there is where all its extra functionality lies.
For starters, you can pull it out to turn the case into a stand for your phone. At the same time, it serves as an amplifier to give your phone’s speaker that extra boost. Lastly, you can push it back to its dome form and roll your earphones to store it and get them out of the way.
The Backpacker is a concept design by Liu Tie, Geng Chunlong, Han Bai, Li Shang, Liu Xiaoying, Tan Chengshen, Wen Sinan, Wu Bing, Wu Tong, and Zhang Xiaodong of the DOON Technology Co. It was a 2013 Red Dot Award: Design Concept Winner.
