Patent describes a special iPhone case that could allow for a range of extra features, such as Touch ID and a sliding gesture with a mysterious, as-yet-unknown use.

Right now, iPhone cases are mostly simple, but Apple says they can have their own problems.

If a case doesn’t fit too well, for example, you might get a small air gap between the case’s side buttons and the corresponding buttons on your phone.
