Overview
Flipmaster3000 is a modular flip case for every smartphone, which extends the capabilities of your phone with external modules such as a gamepad, a keyboard, a flashlight, a mirror and more. You can store the extending modules in the case and have them always on you, or take them out and use them independently. The modules are fully customizable (color, theme) and compatible with any Bluetooth capable device such as smartphones or PCs via Bluetooth Low Energy for a maximum runtime.

Flipmaster3000

 

We invented a Modular Smartphone Case that is affordable and features lots of new Functions. The Case stores the Modules and has four Holes to quickly remove everything. We provided Flipmaster3000 with a holding Mechanism allowing you to use some Modules like the Gamepad or the Keyboard on the go. The holding Mechanism is semi-elastic for an easy flip around of the Case. You can also adjust the holding Angle by pulling the knots up or down. After flipping the Case around you can place it upright.

The Modules are flexibly combinable insinde the Case and stick to it due to Nano Suction Pads.

Compatibility

 

 

Flipmaster 3000 is available for every Smartphone, either Android, iOS or another OS. Most of the modules work with Bluetooth Low Energy, so they are compatible with any device that has Bluetooth Low Energy. You can check that by downloading the free App BLE Checker for Android. All of the iPhones since the 4S have got Bluetooth Low Energy. Please consider that some features, such as programmable buttons, won't work on iOS. The module side of the case will be adapted to the size of your smartphone for a perfect fit. For very big phones or phablets it might be that the case will have another module slot depending on the overall space.
