A second phone screen can come in handy on many occasions. Whether you are trying to organize your calendar or you are sending off a quick e-mail, an expanded touchscreen interface can definitely elevate the user experience. castAway™ is a product that seeks to fill this niche. This is essentially a [smart case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akko-metakey-case) that will not only protect your device but will also contribute with a second phone screen.

castAway™ is ultra-slim and its functions can be seamlessly integrated into the interface of the smartphone. One can watch videos on it, browse the web, and even turn it into a keyboard.

The concept for castAway™ was developed by Ken Mages who is an electronics industry veteran. The product is up for funding through [IndieGoGo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-creator-gear).
