Mobile gaming has never been better, but it still lacks some of the things we’re used to with our consoles. MCG wants to fix that, with the Valor gaming case which adds shoulder buttons to your smartphone to make it feel more like a console experience.

Just look at how glorious this could be. It turns your iPhone into a non-slip mobile console, ready to wreck noobs or work on that puzzle game. It’s also rubberized to hopefully save your precious iPhone glass if you rage drop it, and you can also get a tempered glass screen protector to go with it.

Sure, it’s $60, but what iPhone case isn’t nowadays? And can those cases do all this?

• Two mappable shoulder buttons that work in games like PUBG, Fortnite, and Call of Duty
• Rubberized, vented backplate to keep both your phone and your grip cool
•  Electricity harvesting tech that powers the buttons from your hands!

The timing couldn’t be better for this case to be released, with Apple Arcade about to become available for all users this fall.

The Valor gaming cases are available from Mobile Gaming Corps for $59 and will be released on October 7.
