Being that smartphones are more pervasive and important in modern lifestyles than ever, aftermarket products like the 'i-Blades' case are being developed to help increase smartphone storage and battery life.
Rather than wait for manufacturers to create products with specifications that meet their needs, consumers are opting to keep their preferred devices and adopt accessories that increase functionality. The 'i-Blades' smartphone case fits like a traditional protector, but will allow one to add magnetic 'smartblades' that will increase smartphone storage capabilities as well as battery life.
The 'i-Blades' case can provide up to ten times more power than the existing battery alone and even upgrade storage up to 1TB, which is currently impossible with existing smartphones on the market.
Best of all, users can purchase just the add-ons they want for their 'i-Blades' smartphone case to increase the level of customization.
