HyperCube is a tiny device that automatically backs up your iPhone or iOS/Android device to microSD or USB storage while you charge. With a free HyperCube iOS/Android app, HyperCube also allows you to access any of the content you have stored on the microSD card or USB storage device you insert, including archives of backups and the ability to view and stream photos, videos, and more directly off the device.
Why pay a monthly fee to keep your photos in the Cloud?
And lose your photos when you don't have Internet, to hackers or when you don't pay your fees?

Design Story & Evolution
We started with the most basic and minimalistic design with space just sufficient enough to accommodate a male USB connector (to connect to power/computer), a micro SD slot (the smallest removable memory card for storage) and two female USB ports (one for the iOS/Android device and one for USB storage drive).
The basic design is expanded to accommodate the actual final PCB printed circuit board and IC integrated circuit chip. All these while ensuring that one of the surface is a perfect square, a call out to our logo which is made up of 7 perfect squares.
The final aesthetic design was to round the corners and add design line elements to the side with female USB ports to give the final look of the HyperCube product.
