Ingress Pack -- iPhone X in Otterbox Defender with Kuppet wireless battery

Update 4/14 While the combo was in the belt clip, it caught on something, and detached (the battery and main bracket -- the phone stayed in the belt clip) and fell to the ground. The battery pack popped open on two sides; fortunately the battery just snapped closed without any damage. The printed part, however, didn't fair as well; it have landed on the thumb tab, which snapped off (see photo). [Plan, Print, Check, and Adjust...] So I did a minor redesign of the main bracket; it is now much stronger there. Function over form in this case. I also moved the thumb tab and "pin" closer to the opposing side by 1mm, so it's a tighter snap-fit into the Otterbox phone case (so, hopefully it won't get knocked loose again). ___ The "bad" part about getting a new phone... redesigning all the custom 3D-printed gadgets for it. This is a remix of my Ingress pack for iPhone 6+ (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2747009) Since the iPhone X is wireless-charge capable, I opted to get a wireless-charging battery eliminating the need for the 3-inch lightning cable, making the pack more compact. Of course the size of the phone and battery are different, which meant re-sizing everything, and, since the phone is smaller, the "power" button of the X wound up underneath one of the wraparound clips (whose position is dictated by the belt clip), so it had to be modified so that the clip didn't press the button, and so that I could (hence the raised slot and cutout in the top clip). The iPhone X is in an Otterbox Defender case, and the battery is a Kuppet 20,000mAh wireless charging battery (http://a.co/5sXjdnK) — yes, it charges the phone while in the case. The battery retainer part positions the battery slightly above the phone in order to engage the wireless charging (I think it may charge better even lower; I think the manufacturer designed it so that the display would be seen while charging), but it does work in the position the clip puts the phone in. As with all previous incarnations of this, the clip is designed to attach by hooking onto the case's lip on one side, and uses the same snap-on action as the belt clip that comes with the Otterbox case. It can also clip into the the belt clip while attached; without any modifications to the belt clip. I decided to forgo the Ingress / faction logos this time around, with just a clean, smooth surface against your hand. The hand strap is simply a 12-inch velcro "cable tie". With the hand strap, it's very easy to carry; you don't really need to "hold" it; with your hand in a relaxed position, it won't slip off.
