PowerClip is a portable multifunction device that can assist you not only in emergency situations, but can help you avoid those stressful situations such as your phone battery dying while on the move or searching around frantically for your car keys.

PowerClip is available in two form factors: the smaller more compact micro and the larger battery / memory capacity PRO.

PowerClip micro contains a custom high-grade 500mAh lithium polymer battery which can give you an extra 20% charge on your smartphone-  essential in those emergency situations. The micro also comes with 4GB of memory space in the DataVault secure file storage system- enough to hold over 1400 8MP photos.


PowerClip PRO contains a custom high-grade 1000mAh lithium polymer battery which can give an extra 40% charge on your smartphone and is available in either 8GB or 32GB space in the DataVault secure file storage system.


Emergency Phone Charger

Charging your phone couldn't be more convenient using our unique slide-out connector- simply slide out and plug in.

The PowerClip micro has a custom internal 500mAh high grade lithium polymer battery which will give your phone an extra 20%* charge level, while the PRO has a 1000mAh battery allowing for an extra 40%* charge level- priceless in those emergency situations.

Key Finder
If you ever misplace your keys, you can easily locate them using the PowerClip smartphone app. The rough distance to the PowerClip will be displayed as well as an option to activate the loud built-in sounder.

Leaving your keys behind will also become a thing of the past with PowerClip. As soon as your phone and keys break a certain pre-set distance, then your phone will be notified immediately, allowing you to quickly return and pick them up before someone else does.

Phone Finder
A misplaced phone is just as easily found with PowerClip. Simply press and hold the multifunctional button, and the PowerClip sends a signal to your smartphone, which will in turn start ringing or vibrating, depending on the app settings. 

Key Drop Alert
The PowerClip's internal accelerometer can sense when you drop your keys and instantly sends a notification to your phone via the app.

Secure DataVault
PowerClip comes with onboard memory that becomes your personal DataVault- a place to store your photos, videos, music and files with powerful encryption and secure access either through a number code or via the fingerprint sensor on your smartphone. (see image above)


Activity Tracker
PowerClip can record each step you take and then wirelessly updates the app to track your progress in steps, distance, colories and more- a fitness tracker on your keys.

Emergency Flashlight
Double pressing the multifunction button in quick succession will turn the LED flashlight both on and off, providing you with a handy emergency light.

ThruCharge
Thrucharge allows you to integrate your PowerClip into your home charging system without any disruption. Simply connect your PowerClip to your phone and insert the micro USB power lead- your phone is given priority and will charge first, and the PowerClip will begin charging once your phone is at full power.

// WHY INDIEGOGO?

Crowdfunding is the perfect way to both validate our product, by proving that there is a need for what we are offering, and to raise funding for our first mass production run.

Indiegogo is the most open and creative crowdfunding platform out there and we believe the savvy Indiegogo Backers will see all of the hard work we have put in to PowerClip, and appreciate the design and technology as well as all of the great features.


// RISKS AND CHALLENGES

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The hardest challenge by far will be to manage the project from the end of the campaign until the final product is fulfilled. The project lead will be our CEO and he will personally oversee the PowerClip production and fulfillment process.

>Manufacturing
Mirai is an MFi (made for Apple) certified developer and we have access to all MFi certified factories. We also have a strong partner network in China, Hong Kong and Japan. Mirai will also involve the backers in key decisions throughout the manufacturing process.

>Cost
We believe that we have set a price level per unit that allows us to manufacture to the highest quality and we will select the manufacturer that best suits the PowerClip, so rest assured your product will be everything we say it will be.

>Delays
We aim to get PowerClips in your hand by the time set out above, but sometimes delays can be unavoidable. By planning our production in December, we will avoid the busy times coming up to Chinese New Year, which should help to expedite production. In the eventuality that there are any delays we will update you as soon as we can. We vow to keep an open communication channel at all times and will be posting regular updates on Twitter @miraipowerclip.

> Fulfilment
We are confident that if we reach our goal we will be able to partner with a professional fulfillment company to make sure every backer gets their PowerClip in perfect condition and in a timely manner.


// FAQ

What devices does PowerClip work on?
The PowerClip is designed to work with your smartphone - either Apple iPhone 5 onwards, or any Android device that utilises the micro USB connection. PowerClip can also charge other devices with micro USB inputs such as Amazon Kindle or Sony Playstation Vita.

How do you charge PowerClip?
PowerClip is charged by plugging the included mUSB lead into the back of the PowerClip. You can charge the USB lead into any device with a USB port such as a wall socket adapter or a laptop/desktop PC.

When will I get my PowerClip?
We plan to get your PowerClip in your hands by Jan/Feb 2016.

Is the keyring loop likely to break?
The PowerClip is made of a string ABS plastic and is unlikely to shatter/break easily. The lobster clasp has full 360 degree rotation, meaning that the key ring loop will never experience enough torque to snap off or crack.

How long does the battery inside the PowerClip last in idle mode?
Due to smart circuit design and high grade batteries and the fact that Bluetooth requires only nano amps to function correctly, we estimate the battery to last around two to three weeks uncharged.

How loud is the sounder inside the PowerClip?

The sounder inside the PowerClip is small but it packs a punch- you will definitely be able to hear it from another room or two away. We will conduct accurate sound tests during the testing phase of production.

What files can you read/write via the Bluetooth connection?
You can currently view photos with our prototype, however we hope to develop this into streaming video and multi-file type viewer during the app development phase.

Does the PowerClip connect with phones that have cases?

The PowerClip is designed to work perfectly with uncased phones, however PowerClip will still connect to phones with very slim profile cases (<1mm).

Why is your campaign is USD when you are based in UK?
We will be manufacturing in an Apple MFi certified factory in China, therefore we will save costs by paying for the production of PowerClips in USD (the international currency). This allows us to deliver the stated price above, protecting our customers from any price fluctuations.
