iPhone cases are a dime a dozen but not all of them are worthy of the word “cool”. That said, if you expect a certain level of cool factor and style from an iPhone case as opposed to just a case that protects, then you should not pass on these cases by Bitmo Lab, a young brand created by JSAUX and SSPAI called BANG!CASE and GAMEBABY.
So yeah, Bitmo Lab is back, and it’s time to dress your new iPhone 16 Pro in something a little less “glass slab” and a little more “action hero.” Enter the BANG!CASE and the GAMEBABY, two cases designed to add a little pizzazz (and a lot of buttons) to your otherwise buttonless iPhone.
Let’s start with the BANG!CASE. For a modest US$49.99, you can strap this retro-futuristic marvel onto your iPhone 14, 15, or 16 Pro. It doesn’t just sit there looking pretty—it’s got a mind of its own, complete with its own motherboard and power supply. Oh, and did we mention the BANG!Button
It’s not just a button, it’s the button. The iPhone 16 Pro’s Camera Control? Covered. Action button? You get a second one because why settle for just one when you can have multiple functions on tap? Single press, double press, long press—think of it as the Swiss Army knife of phone buttons. Want to snap a picture, open Notion, or maybe trigger your Tesla to show off its light show? One press, and you’re there. With its MagSafe compatibility, you won’t even have to fumble with wires.
Then there’s the GAMEBABY, a throwback for all of you who still remember blowing on cartridges like it was a sacred ritual. This case, a steal at US$24.99 (early bird price; U.P. US$39.99), turns your iPhone 15 or 16 Pro Max into a retro gaming console. Just detach the lower half, slap it on the front, and boom—you’ve got a controller that looks like it walked straight out of the early ’90s.
Yes, really! This case also doubles as a game controller, turning your iPhone into a bonafide handheld console. Like, how cool is that? Once you’re done showing those 16-bit baddies who’s boss, the controller slides back, leaving your iPhone safe and sound, ready for its next call or scroll through social media.
So, if you’re looking to make your iPhone a little more fun, a little more functional, and a whole lot cooler, Bitmo Lab has you covered. Just be prepared for people to ask why your phone case is smarter than their phone.
