Almost everybody is familiar with the idea of a multi-tool, a pocket knife that that gives you multiple functions in one package. What about a multi-use case? An Indiegogo project called ReadyCase aims to provide just that.
So what exactly does that case provide? Well, there are three main items which are multi-function in their own right. First off is a lens mount similar to the OlloClip. They are offering macro, fisheye, wide-angle lenses.
The second is a 4-in-1 multi-tool blade with a bottle opener, flathead screwdriver, and serrated/standard blades. Very low tech, but if you need your beverage or a box opened, all you need to look for is your iPhone.
The final piece is a 8 or 16GB USB2 flash drive. The drive can also be inserted into slots around the case to act as a kickstand in both landscape and portrait. The landscape channel at the top even acts as a clip for your headphones.
If all goes well, ReadyCase is projecting shipping products by February 2013. The ReadyCase will be available for both the 4/4S and the new iPhone 5. Blades come in either silver or black. The funding campaign ends on October 24th.
You say the ReadyCase is launching in February 2012, but I suspect you meant 2013.
Don’t think you’ll be able to get through TSA with that thing…..
It’s a great idea tho’.
Yeah, I would advise leaving the blade part at home if traveling.
Same thought about TSA. Now we’ll have to start removing our smart phones from their cases in line.
Good idea but should have more shock proofing capabilities or separate brands (slim, shockproof, ect). Hope you get enough investors.
