We’ve seen a host of different app-enabled hardware for the iPhone. There’s been everything from smart scales to smart radar detectors. Now there’s even an app-enabled battery case for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S. They are working to fund the project on Kickstarter, so if this is something that sounds interesting to you, read on.
Project Title: ChargeSmart: The world’s first smart iPhone Battery Case
Status: Working toward funding
Closing Date for Funding: November 14, 2013

From the Creatives:
The ChargeSmart case protects your iPhone 5/5S, doubles your run time, and extends your battery life by 50 Percent!
Smartphone owners typically worry about two things:
1) Damage to their phone from day-to-day hazards like drops, bumps and moisture
2) Running out of battery power when they need it most
ChargeSmart is a patent-pending protective battery case for the iPhone 5 and 5s that is sleek and lightweight, easy to attach/detach, provides protection against everyday hazards and more than doubles the run time of your phone.
What makes ChargeSmart different is that it does what no other battery case can do:
ChargeSmart will extend the life of your iPhone’s internal battery by as much as 50 Percent!
ChargeSmart comes with an app, available for free from the Apple App Store, which communicates with the ChargeSmart battery case and uses proprietary intelligent charging algorithms to charge your iPhone’s internal battery. The result is that your iPhone’s battery will run better, longer.
Would You Recommend this Kickstarter Project?: Yes. This project is coming from a company with a proven track record of creating batteries and battery cases. If you tend to buy your iPhone and use it until it quits, this device’s ability to extend the life of your iPhone’s battery will be something you appreciate. It will help keep your phone from suddenly lasting just a few hours per charge; that’s no small thing.
Did you back this project? I just bought the Xuma iPhone 5 battery case. It is nice and light, but not certified by Apple and it is a little wonky.
