A group of Silicon Valley engineers, designers and builders formed a company called i-BLADES and is now seeking funding for what they’re calling “the world’s first and most intelligent smartcase.”
From the i-BLADES Indiegogo page:
“You no longer need to imagine …
- Having ever expandable battery life. Improve your battery life by 2-10 times,no need to carry chargers, battery packs or bulky phone cases.
- No limits on memory, record everything in the quantity and quality you want. Increase your memory from 64GB to 1 Terrabyte.
- Unlimited entertainment with no need to stream or wait for a network connection. Just clip on your blade and press play.”
- Do even more with your current smartphone. In the future you will be able to use your I-BLADES Smartcase to expand what your smartphone can currently do including watching live TV, managing your health, payments and controlling other devices.”
The Indiegogo page says that in order to take advantage of the “limitless” possibilities of the smartcase, just put the phone in the case and then attach one or more “Smartblades” to it. The “Smartblades” are what add the extra functionality to the phone, acting almost like modular pieces found in Project Ara.
Smartblade pieces are attached to the Smartcase via magnets, requiring absolutely no wires or ports to connect a smartblade piece to the case. i-BLADES will offer an application that will allow you to manage the added functionality.
For the time being, the company is only offering Smartcases for the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S4. iPhone models are in the works, and will launch sometime in the future, probably pending the success of the campaign.

The Indiegogo page says that as of early Dec. 31, there were 93 backers and the campaign had raised $3,561 of the project’s $30,000 goal. The campaign runs through the month of January and the first orders of the Smartcase are slated to ship in May.
