Can't decide between an iPhone or Android for your next device? Want to get both at the same time but don't want the logistical hassle of duct-taping them together in a way that leaves the camera usable? There may be a Kickstarter for you.

 

无法决定下一部手机是买苹果还是买安卓？两个都想要，用胶带绑一起废掉摄像头又嫌麻烦？国外众筹网站Kickstarter上架了一款手机壳，使你的苹果机一秒变安卓。
 

 

The Eye is a $189 case for your iPhone which has raised over $100,000 on the crowdfunding site with a huge checklist of features: "a 5 inch display, battery power, up to 256GB storage, SIM slots, an IR blaster & wireless¹ charging!" But, look, there's a simpler way to sum it up. It's an iPhone case that is an Android phone.

 

When you have the Eye plugged in to your iPhone, you can use your phone as normal (albeit with a fairly bulky case strapped² to it), or you can flip³ it round, and have an entirely⁴ separate phone that you can also use as normal. Who wouldn't love that feature?

 

Most importantly, the Android phone's battery can be used to charge the iPhone. It has 2800mAh of power storage, which can potentially triple an iPhone's battery life - but, of course, that battery also needs to power the Eye's phone too. That said, the designers promise a power drain of just 1% an hour.

 

Oh, and the phone itself has two sim slots, allowing you to have three entirely separate phone numbers - perfect for ensuring you keep on top of your Work/Life/Weird Satanic Cult⁵ balance. It can be so hard to ensure all three parts of your day get enough time!

 

If the Eye excites you, the first 2,000 backers can pick one up at half of RRP, which will be shipped in August claims the manufacturer, Esti.
