As an alternative, a smart start-up, castAway, has now announced a new device to add a second screen to your existing smartphone!
The castAway case enables you to open multiple apps at once, copy/paste, and access files and photos from either screen with ease.
The team responsible for creating the castAway screen smartphone case have added new perks for people to enjoy via Indiegogo, enabling backers to now order customizable mods that will be interchangeable with their castAway case, including a Qi wireless charging battery, a wallet w/ Qi wireless charging battery, and a Universal Case that will allow people to use all of castAways mods with ANY phone case they choose.
A quote from the company said, “We heard you loud and clear. After listening to your feedback, we’re excited to announce that we have expanded castAway into a full platform. We’re still delivering a second-screen experience — but now you can customize your case with a variety of accessories as well to meet the demands of your daily life. “
“A second monitor used to be a luxury, and now it’s a necessity. Juggling between apps and screens is how things go today. Adding a second screen to a PC is easy, but what about a second one for your smartphone? It’s not like you leave the need for multitasking behind when you are away from your desktop, out in the world doing things.”
The castAway case adds a second, ultra-slim screen to your existing iPhone or Android smartphone. The second screen is a powerful Chromium-based tablet that lets you multitask while on the go.”
