Some high-tech iPhone Cases in CES 2014 You Should Know

Tweet

Guess Jobs would be very happy to see that his cellphone series had created a thriving industry – iPhone case. If you still use some silicon, leather or hard case with some cartoon or beautiful pattern, you are out! In 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show, we found a lot of weird but hight-tech cases. And we wonder they can be used in our daily life? Gun grip material for iPhone case? Obviously this case would never be for ordinary people daily use! It’s manufacturer Element Case claims, “Some of our best selling cases had been our tactical styles, it was only logical to push further in that direction for its new lineup.” The material is a version of G10, which the military uses for radio antennae, among other things. It’s very dense and light and, of course, super tough. “It’s basically military grade fiberglass,” Element CEO Jeff Sasaki said. Give your iPhone a military grade security, sounds good, but not necessary for daily use. (Price $300) A pressure-sensitive case may change the way you use iPhone. When you touch the case back, it makes you look like touch the screen. Canopy, a Minneapolis-based startup, thinks touch screens limit how we interact with our smartphones. The company debuted its product, an iPhone case that transforms the back and sides of your phone into large, pressure-sensitive touch pads. There two advantages: It allows people to use their phones without touching the screen, increasing the viewable area (great for playing games). It also lets people use varying pressure to get different responses from apps and games. A full touch pad? Maybe it helps when you watch a video on iPhone. (Price: $99) A case lets you see heat. FLIR Systems Inc. is launching its first consumer product, an iPhone jacket that contains a heat camera. This case now can give you a heat vision which you can stalk people in the jungle by their heat signature or check your home’s insulation for leaks. The thermal camera can detect temperature differences of about one-tenth of a Fahrenheit degree, and the temperature readout is accurate to within 2 degrees. (Price: $349)
