Mophie debuts modular Hold Force case for iPhone 7 & 7 Plus, but no headphone jack
Joining in on recent trends, Mophie on Monday announced its Hold Force modular case for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, allowing buyers to swap between backs depending on what they need to accomplish.
The case itself is available in nine different color combinations, including ones that are mostly see-through. All of them include magnetic plates in the back, which allow the modular components to pop on and off.
After buying the case, owners have a choice of three accessories. The first, the Wallet, simply adds two card pockets. The Folio improves on this, adding a third pocket and relocating cards to the inside of a lid.
The most significant accessory may be the Powerstation Plus Mini, a 4,000 milliamp-hour battery pack. This adds up to 12 hours of extra battery life, and includes a switch-tip connector, letting users switch between Lightning and micro USB.
What the cases do not have, however, is a headphone jack. Other battery cases adding a 3.5-millimeter input to the iPhone 7 are in the works, but none are yet available.
Mophie is selling the case for $39.95, and the Wallet and Folio for $19.95 each. The Powerstation Plus Mini is $59.95. If people buy accessories alongside the case, though, the prices of the Wallet and the Folio drop to $9.95, and the Powerstation slides to $39.95.

I only have one CC and one rewards set up in Pay. I just looked through my wallet and found several cards that I use all the time which cannot be put in Wallet.
These are the other cards I have to carry:
Drivers license
Health insurance
Auto insurance
Marriott rewards
AA Miles
Lowes
Krogers card
Home Depot
SS
Veterans ID
and a few others that I probably shouldn't mention like my NRA membership, concealed weapon license, and GOP member in good standing card. /s
Plus some other Visa cards that I need physical versions of for stores that don't accept Pay, which is most of them. Furthermore, I shop online at the office so I need my regular wallet and probably will continue to for the foreseeable future, or at least until all the online merchants that I use provide web versions of Pay.
Just having a picture of a card is usually not acceptable, especially if it has a barcode or magstripe.
Seriously one drop on that area and you reread it you even paid one dollar for this case
