Nexpaq Modular Smartphone Case allows you to easily add new features to your smartphone through the case.
The concept of a modular smartphone that lets you quickly swap in components like a bigger battery or better camera has been around for a few years now, but the best-known example — Google’s Project Ara — is still firmly in the prototype stage. Now, however, a new Kickstarter campaign is offering consumers a modular smartphone product they can actually buy and hopefully start using in a few months. This is not a modular smartphone, but a modular smartphone case. It is named as Nexpaq.
Nexpaq allows you to easily customize, enhance, and add features to your smartphone through the case. To put it simply: You can add and remove physical “modules” (think Lego bricks with special powers) directly from the back of your case without powering down. Each nexpaq case has built-in battery power to boot (1000 mAh). This provides your smartphone with a significant amount of extra juice and powers all of the modules. It offers full module compatibility between iOS and Android smartphones. So you can use your modules on different smartphones and even on future smartphones not yet released
There are 12 modules currently available including:added battery, a speaker amplifier, LED flash, SD card slot, temperature and humidity, Hotkeys, USB Flash, Air quality, Breathalyzer, Laser, Backup and Dummy.
If you have an iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge or Samsung Galaxy S5 then you can use nexpaq. Nexpaq is also the first, and only, modular technology that can be swapped between Android and iPhone devices.
How it works?
1. Put your phone in the nexpaq case.
2. Choose your modules and slide them in.
3. Start the app and control your modules.
You can access all of your modules through the app. Simply click on the module to check a reading of how much storage and battery you have. When you swap in a new module, the app will automatically update so you can get going straight away. Even if your case is not attached to your phone, you can still switch on the case and remotely control the modules via bluetooth from your nexpaq app.
