14 DAY TRIAL // Kickstarter is full of projects meant to fund crazy novelty items. Some of them are just to crazy to be true.
Looking for the perfect iPhone case, we've found three funny ones to suit your needs: "The iPhone Freedom Case" complete with bullet heads, "The Bang! Box with Zoombang Protective Gear iPhone Case" and "The Critical iPhone Case" made of aluminum.
The first one we're going to discuss is the "iPhone Freedom Case for 4, 4s, 4, 5c, 5s". Yes, that is the name of the Kickstarter Project. His creator is Joe Tracy, an avid gun enthusiast. His motivation: he could never find a case to match his love for guns and the open road so he created not one, but four different ones.
The cases are made with one or two once fired bullet heads mounted on a classic silicone or aluminum base. The bullet head can even be used as a home button replacement. Prices range from $35 up to $50 and the creator of the project says he will deliver the products in September 2014. Unfortunately, with just 8 days to go, the project didn't get the deserved attention from potential buyers. But you can at least visit his page and have fun watching the video.
The second Kickstarter campaign comes from California and it's got the longest name possible - "Bang! Box with Zoombang Protective Gear iPhone 5 & 5s Case".
We know you have no idea what Zoombang is so we're going to explain. Apparently it is a groundbreaking, anti-shock polymer used in professional sports padding, military tactical gear or Hollywood stunt gear. The idea behind it sounds amazing. Zoombang is a special polymer that is soft to the touch and looks like a bag filled with liquid, but when you punch it or apply force it stiffens. That means, your iPhone is going to have a cushy pillow around its corners that transforms into a rock when it hits the ground.
The kickstarter project creator made sure to present his case using a comic strip video and explain in great detail how the case came to be.
You've got 28 days to fund this project and get your miracle case for $45 or more.
Now if you believe that case was too bulky, here's one to keep the slim profile of your iPhone and protect it in the same time.
"Critical Cases" promises to offer superior protection for iPhone 5s, 5c and the upcoming iPhone 6. It is marketed as the only minimalist, ultra-lightweight, aluminum 3D printed case.
The project creator promises your phone antenna will work just fine and you'll get full bars because the aluminum is coated with an inner plastic bumper.
For 30 bucks you'll get the Critical Case, a screen and a back protector shipped to your door in August 2014. Unfortunately, the project is well underfunded so just visit the page or have fun watching this video.
