InkCase
InkCase
InkCase is a well-known smartphone case by Oaxis with an additional e-paper display on the back. This monochrome display is controlled with a special-made application and communicates with your phone via Bluetooth. The energy for it is obtained from its own battery capable of being recharged with the Micro-USB interface. Also, the Oaxis's invention has 128 MB memory built-in. The idea behind having the second display for your phone is to cut down energy consumption of the main device, provide you with more comfortable reading environment and, I suppose, vary your phone usage experience a little. With InkCase, you can read e-books, enjoy your favorite photos, do sports, study weather forecasts, check to-do lists and email, listen to music, receive phone calls – and all this without hurting your eyes and worrying about the phone's battery draining.
Nexpaq
Nexpaq
Nexpaq is a truly amazing modular smartphone case by the Nexpaq Inc.; the case which, unsurprisingly, follows the Lego principle that is popular among manufactures. And if there are modular smartphones and Lego-like computers available on the market today, why can't we try a modular phone case, right? With Nexpaq, you are allowed to customize your device to the full with twelve different add-on “modules” to fit into the case. It could be a battery module, a speaker, a thermometer, a night vision camera, an air quality sensor, a 64GB storage drive, and so on. But be attentive, although there are twelve modules, the case provides only six module slots. All the modules work together with a Nexpaq's app via Bluetooth and the case itself comes with a built-in 1,000mAh battery that powers all the small squares.
Gresso and PushCase
Gresso
The Gresso slider is actually a smart metal wallet for your phone. When you slide the back panel, the card slot automatically comes out. With Gresso, you enjoy a convenient and secure mechanism to store your credit cards and an ID (not more than 3 items) within your phone. Made of Aluminum, this case also guarantees you the exceptional quality. PushCase is another solution for keeping your credit cards and even cash always at hand. Here, you press a special ergonomic button on the back of your case to get click-closure access to hidden objects. The developers of PushCase claim that the front-facing wallet never lets your cards fall out of the slot and never opens up by accident.
