Surround Touchscreen Smartphone Cases

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Sensus Case Ups the Competition at CES 2014

— January 8, 2014 — Tech
If you've ever thought that your iPhone could use a little more touchscreen then you may need the Sensus Case.

This intricate Apple iPhone case adds touch strips to the sides and back of any iPhone 5 or 5S. These magnificent touch strips can measure different levels of force so you can do things like snap a stunning selfie just by pinching together the touch strips located on the side of your iPhone 5 or 5S. The all-around touchpad also makes for a greater and more fun use of apps that accompany this case. For instance, a 'Geometry-War' inspired game can be well played using the touchpad located on the rear of the phone.

Though this case isn't ready for customer consumption yet, I'm more than certain that when it is the Sensus Case will be a big hit.
