Card-Swiping Smartphone Cases

The Griffin's Merchant Case From CES 2014 Accepts Credit Cards

The Griffin’s Merchant Case + Square Reader have in collaboration launched ‘The Griffin’s Merchant Case,’ which enables credit card swiping and storage from an iPhone case itself at CES 2014. The Griffin Case is like sporting around a cash register in your pocket! The nifty accessory will be beneficial for retail merchants and interactive businesses around the globe, optimizing portable sales.

The phone case works like a debit machine and stabilizes the Square reader when plugged into the iPhone’s headphone jack. The small white card reader simply folds into the back of the case for easy use and storage. As business industries advances, tech partners are building innovative products to accommodate the market. In the future, we will inevitably see more pay-by-smartphone credit card “swipers” as a new form of merchant sales.
