Protect and Upgrade your Smartphone

Each year our smartphones get smarter and faster.  But each year we need them to do more: to last longer; capture and store higher resolution videos; allow us to watch 4k movies.  They can lag behind the demands you place on it. For example, how long does your battery last?

 

The i-BLADES Smartcase (www.i-blades.com) is a phone case that delivers an entirely new level of performance and functionality to your smartphone. Transforming its capabilities.

 

The i-BLADES Smartcase upgrades the capabilities of your smartphone through attachable and detachable Smartblades. They even bring new functional possibilities for making your life easier.

 

 

Slimline Protection

    A tough, durable but slimline protective phone case. That protects from scratches and abrasions and drops. Drop tested up to military grade standards (MIL-SPEC 810G-516.6) from 4ft.

    Available in premium Napa leather or soft-touch rubber coated TPU.

     

     

    Our soft touch leather wallet Smartcase has protection, smart technology but also it acts as a replacement leather wallet. The i-BLADES Leather Wallet Smartcase is made from the highest quality grain leather that is exceptionally smooth to the touch. It is designed as a wallet replacement with slots for cards and has all the snap-on functionality of a Smartcase.

     

    It has a smooth tactile feel with an exclusive satin-like finish.  It's irresistible to touch and the first time that such advanced technology has been encased in a premium leather finish.

    Advanced Smart Technology

    The i-BLADES Smartcase is the most advanced and intelligent smartphone case ever created, covered by existing and pending patents. Its built-in micro processing technology intelligently enables your smartphone functionality to be expanded and enhanced in limitless ways. Supercharge your phone with new capabilities. Simply insert your phone into the low profile protective case.

    Technology upgrades for new Smartblades become available over time without you buying another smartphone. 

     

     

     

    By attaching our slimline Smartblades you add that extra functionality to your Smartcase - whether it's battery, memory or numerous other capabilities.  Importantly it allows you to add this ONLY when you need it and then you can easily clip the Smartblade off when finished. There is simply no other case like it.

    The possibilities of what Smartblades can do for you are limitless. No rushing to power points when your battery is low, no "out of memory" notifications when capturing those unmissable memories. No need for other separate devices, with the right Smartblade you can do anything. 

    The Smartblades can be stackable as well, so you can stack and charge multiple Smarblades in one go if you wish.

     


     

    The i-BLADES Tech

    There are three key parts to our patented and patent pending technology. 

    1) Integrated smart technology in the case

    The i-BLADES Smartcase has an intelligent built-in MCU that can automatically detect which Smartblade is attached, without you doing anything. The Smartcase can tell if you have placed a memory blade on the case, or a battery blade and it will adjust the functionality it offers the smartphone accordingly.

    2) High-speed data connection

    i-BLADES has designed a smart system that delviers energy and data at high-speed and efficiently from the Smartblade to the Smartcase without wires.  This is faster and more efficient than other wireless technology allowing data to be transferred without wires. 

    This is universal across ALL Smartblades making them compatible with all current and future Smartcases, regardless of smartphone operating system. 

    3) i-BLADES Smart App

    The Smartcase comes with software that will load onto your smartphone, allowing you to both manage the additional functions and enjoy the content available. You can transfer data from your Smartblade wirelessly, enjoy the environmental 4-1in-1 sensor in your case or capture photos directly to your Smartblade.

    The journey

    Its been a long journey, from a Dana Coffee Shop in Silicon Valley to hands of our customers.  We have been designing, revising, testing, re-testing, tweaking, improving the experience and the product. Unlike other ventures we did not want to launch until we were ready and we were confident that people would love our product when they got it in their hands. 

     

    Our Passionate Team

     

     

    We’re an international team with a  background in innovation, technology and consumer electronics. We are based in Silicon Valley. We have run and launched successful businesses and products. Inventor and CEO Jorge Fernandes created and patented the technology that launched Apple Pay, We’re passionate about combining hardware and software into delivering a new world of smartphone possibilities. We’re especially excited about hearing your feedback and your ideas for i-BLADES.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Is there an application that runs with i-BLADES Smartcases?

    Yes there is. The i-BLADES Smart App is the application that runs on your smartphone and controls the functions of your Smartblades.

     

    What models and makes of smartphones are you currently supporting?

    We are launching on Indiegogo with the Samsung S4 and S6 first. We will be announcing more models shortly. Note it’s just the Smartcase that is unique to a phone model,  the Smartblades are swappable and interchangeable.

    What operating systems will i-BLADES Smartcases support?

    Our intention to offer Smartcases across all operating systems.  But we are starting out with Samsung G6 and GS4 smartphones first. Our Smart App will work on any smartphone we design for.  All Smartblades are universal for any Smartcase regardless of the operating system or phone type.
    Will the Smartblade fall off?
    No. The magnetic connection that holds the Smartblade to the Smartcase is very strong.  We have had to create a quick release slot to help people take off the Smartblade. The snap on mechanic will last for millions of cycles its very robustly designed.

    Do magnets affect the functions of my smartphone?

    No.  They do not.

     

    Does the Smartcase interfere with my antennae reception?

    All Wi-Fi and 4G functions on your smartphone are unaffected by the Smartcase case. You may wirelessly charge or use NFC features.

    Does the Smartblade interfere with my antennae reception?

    All Wi-Fi and 4G functions on the smartphone are unaffected by the Smartblades. You may NOT wirelessly charge or use NFC features to their fullest when the Battery Blade is snapped on. 

    What is the compatibility of i-BLADES in countries outside the U.S.?
    i-BLADES Smartcases are fully compatible with smartphones supported worldwide.

     

     

    Do I need to charge my phone and i-BLADES Smartcase separately?

    No. You can charge your phone and Smartcase with blade together at the same time, or you can choose to charge them separately. You may choose to have multiple Smartblades charged for quick on the fly swapping of power. We have designed Smartcases so you don’t have to change what you’re already doing. 

     

     

    How do I know my Smart Battery Blade needs charging, and how do I know when it is fully charged?

    The i-BLADES Smart app will tell you. It will send you alerts so you know you need to power up and recharge.

    When I snap the Smart Battery Blade on the Smartcase does it generate heat?

     

    No it does not generate considerable heat when you connect the Smart Battery Blade.

     

    How thick is a Smartblade?

    Smartblades vary in thickness from 2mm up to 9mm. In the main they will be slimmer.  However, sometimes when functionality dramatically increases thickness may increase, for example with Smart Battery Blades size is related to power.

     

     

    Does the Smart Battery Blade work seamlessly with my phone’s battery, do I need to do something? 

    The Battery Blade runs seamlessly with your phone’s power and is automatically self-managing so you don’t even have to think about it.

     

    Can I transfer files from the Smart Memory Blade onto my laptop or desktop?

    Yes, you can easily transfer files from your Smart Memory Blade to a laptop or desktop.

    What happens if I lose my Smart Memory Blade, can others see my files?

    Each Smartblade, including the Smart Memory Blade, has a public portion and a private portion on it. So it’s up to you as to how and with whom you share the various sections. If you do lose a Smartblade, only the “public” portion is viewable.

     

    How quickly does the Smart Battery Blade charge?

    The Smart Battery Blade uses Lithium Ion technology and charges at the very same rate as your smartphone. 

     

    How many Smartblades can I attach and stack to the Smartcase at one time?

     

    We have designed our stackable Smartblades to stack infinitely or snap on and snap off on the fly. We will offer people the choice of stackable and non-stackable Smartblades. Of course it’s all up to you to determine how many fit comfortably as you use your phone.

     
    Can I share or swap Smartblades with friends?

    Yes, you can share Smartblades with friends. Please note that each Smartblade has a public area and a private area that you control accessibility.

     

     

    Please share this with your friends in your Social world!
