The protective cases with various shapes and materials can be said to be the most difficult peripherals to choose after buying a new mobile phone. However, the protective shell that only provides protection function seems to have been unable to stimulate the purchase desire. What if it can be used as the second screen of the mobile phone, which can be customized and can read books? InkCase is such a thing

Of course, as a title party, it is a pity that only the body of InkCase has been obtained at present, and there is no supporting protective shell, so we cannot show you the scene after the integration. But even if there is only an ontology, the functions implemented by InkCase are still the same as those after integration.

In terms of appearance design, InkCase can be said to be a scaled down E-INK e-book product, with a certain line design on the side, which is quite thin and light overall. In terms of keys, there are three physical keys at the bottom, which can be roughly divided into the ones on the previous page, those on the confirmation page and those on the next page, depending on the situation. The interface is a mirco USB interface, which is responsible for charging and data transmission, as well as a metal contact.

In terms of size, InkCase is small compared with Xperia Z2. The width of the InkCase is quite close to that of the iPhone 5c. Of course, the InkCase also needs to be combined with the protective case. Small size is a certain thing.

For the screen features and scenarios of InkCase, the manufacturer has designed many applications. For example, we can see InkCase Companion, InkCase Photo, InkCase Sports and EpiReader Lite, which are the connection and management, screen display, motion monitoring and reading functions of the corresponding InkCase.

InkCase Companion, as the connection tool of InkCase, must be installed for normal use. The connection between InkCase and mobile phone is quite simple. Open Bluetooth and scan through InkCase Companion to complete all the connection functions.

InkCase Photo, on the other hand, is much more direct. It can be processed and processed through photos from mobile phones or social accounts, and displayed on InkCase. In fact, it is to post process the photos and display them on the E-INK screen of InkCase.

And what is the actual effect? Of course, I still need to see pictures. According to my personal experience, pictures with strong contrast are best displayed on InkCase. Of course, composition and other things should also be considered.

And what is the actual effect? You can see the picture above. In actual effect, the performance of InkCase is relatively good. You can customize the display of your own InkCase through pictures, as well as various filters, borders and text display. It is quite good for personalization and fun.

EpiReader Lite is actually a reader. In addition to viewing and reading with mobile phones, it can also be mapped to InkCase for display. But this mapping is really synchronous. When you slide up and down pages on InkCase, the mobile phone screen will also have corresponding action operations. It would be better if you could control it independently.

How about the reading effect? InkCase has an E-INK screen. The reading effect is appropriate, but due to the size, it is OK to make do with reading. You should be considerate when reading for a long time.

Of course, it's a pity that we can't show you the effect of the combination of InkCase and mobile phones, but the functions and gadgets that InkCase achieves through various apps are really quite interesting. In addition to being a reading screen, the E-INK screen can also display various functions, which can really stimulate the interest of many people.
