After the numerous times I’ve dropped my iPhone, I totally believe in the protection of a sturdy case. Thanks to cases, my current phone still has no scratches, so when I inevitably upgrade, the pain in my wallet will be a lot less thanks to the resale value I’ll get from a non-messed-up phone. While my current case offers good protection, this case is definitely something I’d like to try out since it offers a neat feature that others don’t.
My phone is always in silent mode, but I rarely miss any important notifications because I use the flash notifications setting. This case design takes that basic concept of visual notifications a bit further.
The Endliss Smartcase has LEDs built into its back, that will flash in a number of different ways, displaying icons and other information to let you know of any notifications that you might get.
The case has an 8×16 LED grid that syncs to your iPhone 5 via Bluetooth 4.0. It can also display the time and comes with a 1,500 mAh battery, which is enough to power the lights and give your phone a bit of extra juice.
The Endliss case was shown off at CES 2013 last week. It’s a pretty slick concept, but there’s no word on a price or release date yet.

It’s basically an earpiece with a sensor that causes it to beep out loudly or vibrate (or both!) if it senses the driver’s head drooping forward. The loud alarm or slight buzzing might just be the thing you need to wake you up and bring you back to your senses – before you drive off the highway, crash your car into some post, or worse.
