CES 2017 i-BLADES – Innovation Award Honoree
i-BLADES has just announced that its groundbreaking modular “Smartcase” has won the CES 2017 innovative honoree award in the wireless handset accessory category. The world’s first “Smartcase,” is a next generation phone case with built-in smart technology that lets users add new functions to smartphones.
The new Smartcase addresses a big customer pain point. Due to smartphone innovation plateauing consumers are stuck with existing smartphone technology for up to two years. The Smartcase changes all that. A slimline phone case, it lets users upgrade smartphone performance by easily snapping-on/snapping off Smartblades. Now users can improve phone performance without waiting two years–or having to buy a new phone.
In fact, users can take advantage of all kinds of exciting new capabilities. The Smartblades can double smartphone battery life, increase memory by 284GB, provide health and wellness solutions as well as on-the-go entertainment (with 100s of movies preloaded) and enable Virtual Reality with a portable, foldable VR headset. Many more Smartblade applications coming soon from audio to headphone jacks, dual SIM, snap-on speakers, and snap-on e-ink displays.
Every Smartcase comes with a built-in air quality sensor to ensure users are aware of the environment around them. Up till now this has not been measurable on-the-go with one device. With air quality such a critical issue indoors and outdoors, it’s a unique solution to a growing concern.
On show at CES 2017
i-BLADES innovative “Smartcase” will be showcased at CES 2017, January 5 to 9, Las Vegas, Nevada in several venues. The Smartcase will be on display at the CES 2017 Innovation Awards Showcase, at the DigitalExperience! 2017 event, January 4, and in the CES 2017 tech showcase and South Hall 3 at the i-BLADES Booth( #35304) alongside the rest of the i-BLADES smart accessories ecosystem.
