The smartphone case that means you’ll never have to upgrade your phone again

This is genius

We need one of these right now.

A group of extremely clever clogs have posted a smartphone case on Kickstarter and if it takes off, it could be a game-changer in the mobile phone market.

nexpaq, which works on iOS and Android, is a case that gives users extra battery power, extra memory, an amplified speaker, a USB flash and more quirky features.

How it works; you can add and remove ‘modules’ from the back of the case depending on what feature you want to use.

The cool thing is that the ‘modules’ are transferable between iPhone and Samsung.

The extra quirky features include a thermometer, a super LED flashlight, an air quality sensor, a laser and, wait for it, a breathalyzer.

The creators hope to raise $50,000 on Kickstarter to get the device into production and they’ve already raised over $8,000, an impressive start.

The case is expected to cost €80 if it goes to market, which is a lot cheaper than an upgrade. We’re in.
