this thing is cool the idea at least is cool it's called the ink case and it's for the iPhone 7 they also make it for the 7 plus this is a second screen that goes on the back of your phone in the form of a case it's an e-ink screen I don't even know did we test the previous vert no I've always wanted to so today's the day what's inside the box is it any good is a useful at all or is it just a gimmick better yet does it suck that's what it's gonna be like the second screen for your phone Inc case well you can see the way they're using it in this image over here as a reader for a book an e-reader when it comes to fatigue with the eyes and whatnot with an e-ink screen you kind of avoid that a little bit because it's not emitting light instead it's reflecting light kind of like a Kindle on the back of your phone syncs wirelessly via bluetooth read it later function for news articles that sounds cool photo wallpaper you can see you could have your significant other there if you like shock protection Bluetooth 4.0 so you know it's gonna be low power consumption and the screen itself is 4.3 inches on the 7 version and on the 7 plus 5.2 inch e-ink screen ok ooh it's almost in the realm of like a battery case but not as heavy you see it has buttons on it that almost remind you of Android there I suppose that's gonna be how we navigate this screen here you solve all your cutouts no twisting or bending that makes a lot of sense a cable kind of an interesting cable look at that attachment there I'm assuming magnetic look at that that's a kind of nice way to charge it up you guys know I'm a huge fan of magnets here right picking tool well I mean that's that's a guitar pick oooh so fresh it's booted up now and you're seeing this nice high contrast eating display which I have to admit is kind of new for me so these buttons down here are the touch buttons the screen itself is not a touchscreen eBook there it is that's what its gonna be like oh here's some different backgrounds I can choose and this was like calendar maybe oh this is that dashboard kind of look your activity how many steps you've taken how many floors you've climbed the distance you've traveled it tells you the weather upcoming events if you have them in your calendar and then reminders so that's that's kind nice now of course there's an app for this oh cool so check this out I can manage the reader the different books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland will do you ever seen Alice in Wonderland yeah it's unbelievable right yeah I got a check that out again photos as well so I can allow my photos to be displayed on there so I'll go ahead and allow photos what were these images from from the case that prints out print PR ynt if you didn't see that video go check that video out how about this one crop it like this save so the app lays things out from reader photos read later widgets and then my ink case which I'm gonna select right now I'm not paired so I'm gonna pair it up I can pair right from the app oh wow this is cool alright so now it's gonna be able to track my fitness stuff from the health app adjust the font size and the text alignment I'm gonna send this photo to inked case whoa and just like that not sure why I would want that photo specifically on the back of my case permanently so I've got popped it installed now so I'm gonna try to send some news over to the case here's a cool one the life death and legacy of iPhone jailbreaking so that's in my pocket now do you think that shows up on in case there it is now the article that I saved to pocket is available inside the ink case no Google's not a bird bringing the Internet to rural India maybe I want to read that later I'm gonna add it in there look at that you see in that check I can go ahead and read this article with low power consumption and with no I string right where I have my phone already I just flip it over now the photos thing is a little bit less compelling for me if you have kids or something sentimental that you want to keep on the case all the time even when the display is off or maybe you just want to look at my face right there you can have it I'm more inclined to have this last option here info display if I go to widgets here and just like that this will now be updated with whatever's on the phone oh we should probably put the phone in okay oh this is just for removal jack slide it in there you can have just this analog style digital clock but look at that you know what I think this thing is kind of cool to be honest says here that standby time where is that standby time is five days and has a four hundred and sixty milliamp hour battery I think once you get the hang of this thing it can actually be quite useful and you might end up saving a ton of battery life on your phone a lot of the reading you're doing there you can offset to this e display and probably your eyes will be a lot better off it's kind of like strapping a tiny little Kindle to the back of your phone and you hardly even notice you're carrying anything extra I think it's cool and no I do not think it sucks
