LAS VEGAS, Jan. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- i-BLADES, Inc., maker of the world’s first Smartcase, announced today the world’s first leather wallet Smartcase. A luxurious combination of premium leather phone case and advanced technology, the new leather wallet Smartcase means you can protect your phone and also upgrade its capabilities using snap-on wireless Smartblades. It’s the ultimate accessory if you want style but need performance.
The leather wallet Smartcase comes bundled with a Battery and Memory Smartblade. By snapping the Battery and Memory Smartblade on to the back of the Smartcase you can instantly capture more memories and make your phone battery life last longer. The Smartblade adds +10hrs battery life and up to 128GB extra storage to your phone. Storage is further expandable through a micro sd on the Smartblade.

No need to clutter your phone with wires and ugly battery packs. i-BLADES operates through a proprietary wireless standard operating at over 3 times the speed of standard wireless protocols.

It has been designed with care and attention to carry credit cards, ID and money-- a genuine wallet replacement. It gives you all round phone protection when closed as well as open. The protective case has been tested for drop protection at 4ft.
