The comprehensive commercialization of 5G technology not only changes the communication capabilities of mobile phones, but also provides a new technology base for the functional innovation of mobile phone cases, giving birth to a series of product forms that are adapted to new scenarios. Communication enhancement has become the most direct innovation direction.


The 5G communication case can increase the download speed of weak signal areas by 3 times through a built-in millimeter wave antenna, solving the 5G adaptation problem of some old models. The penetration rate of this type of product in second- and third-tier cities has reached 17%. Although the Aermy DIY ink screen phone case does not directly involve communication functions, using the high-speed characteristics of 5G, the template download speed of its APP is increased to 0.5 seconds per picture, and the cloud library capacity has been expanded to 100,000 pieces, greatly optimizing the user experience.

Multi-device collaborative scenarios stimulate new demands. With the popularity of 5G+IoT, mobile phone cases have begun to assume the role of "control center". A brand launched a smart shell that can control smart home devices through touch sensing. The version that Almi is developing plans to add UWB chips to achieve centimeter-level positioning interaction with other smart devices. The improvement of edge computing power brings more possibilities. The low latency characteristics of 5G mobile phones enable real-time processing of sensor data on the mobile phone case, and it is expected to realize health functions such as step counting and fall warning in the future.

These innovations not only expand the application boundaries of mobile phone cases, but also make them a key node for connecting terminals and users in the 5G ecosystem. The market size is expected to exceed 5 billion yuan within three years.
