Double Duty Smartphone Cases

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The PodCase Recharges Your iPhone and Keeps Your AirPods Safe

— September 10, 2017 — Tech
The PodCase is a new Kickstarter project that wants to help iPhone 7 owners be more organized. Specifically, it wants to help them keep better track of their AirPods, the new wireless headphones that debuted alongside the iPhone 7. Since AirPods don't have a cord they can be easy to lose. That's why the PodCase has a slot to store them in. The case also doubles as an extra battery that can fully recharge an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7S or recharge both AirPods up to 40 times.

The one downside to this project is its size. The case appears to be a bit bulky, but then it does do double duty. The PodCase is currently on Kickstarter seeking $300,000 in funding. A pledge of $79 is enough to score the case.
