# Camera-Combining Phone Cases This GoPro Case Uses Your Smartphone as a Video Viewing Screen By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-08-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gopro-case References: [coolbusinessideas](http://www.coolbusinessideas.com/archives/reshape-how-you-shoot-with-your-gopro/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1677378380/gorigit) This GoRigIt [GoPro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-gopro-controller) case could completely change the way you shoot active videos. Currently seeking finances using crowdfunding platform [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapgrip), this case connects your GoPro camera to your smartphone. Instead of getting an external viewing screen, which can be extremely expensive, this case lets you know if you got the right shot the first time through your phone. The GoRigIt will not drain your battery or end up being just another thing to carry around either. By combining the two products with one handy GoPro case, you don't have to worry about getting home and realizing you missed the shot. The [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icam-pro-concept) compatible invention is patent pending and will not hinder the function of your cellular device. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Phone-connected Camera Cases:** Opportunity for camera companies to develop cases that connect to smartphones to provide an all-in-one recording and viewing experience. - **Gopro Compatibility Accessories:** Opportunity for companies to create accessories that enhance the functionality of GoPro cameras, making them more user-friendly, accessible, and compatible with other devices. - **Crowdfunding for Consumer Tech:** Opportunity for startups and small businesses to raise funds from the public for innovative tech products through crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can create camera accessories that integrate with smartphones and other devices to enhance the user experience and make it more seamless. - **Mobile Technology:** Mobile technology companies can create apps or other accessories that enhance the functionality of cameras and make them more usable and user-friendly. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** Crowdfunding platforms can expand their reach and customer base by marketing themselves as a platform for innovative consumer technology products like the GoRigIt GoPro case. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Videography Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/90-degree-instinct-case.md) - [Secondary Display Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfix-case.md) - [Branded Technology Action Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icam-pro-concept.md) - [Content Creator Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipix-iphone-case.md) - [Smartphone-Friendly Action Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domono-smart-camera.md) - [Solo Vlogger Smartphone Gimbals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gimbal-griptok.md) - [Connected Display Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reetle-smartink-i.md) - [Adventurer Camera Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-gopro-controller.md) - [Photographer-Targeted Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-cases1.md)
