The first version of the cover rightfully fell under the description "expensive and stupid", but during the development of the second, the authors did a decent job on the mistakes. Sparkbeats case not only glows, but does it beautifully, “smartly” and economically, without overloading the iPhone battery.

The body of the cover, although thin, is made of steel - tolerable protection against many minor troubles that fall on the lot of a smartphone in everyday life. In addition to this function, Sparkbeats case can do only one thing - cheerfully highlight a pattern on its surface, using the iPhone's flash as the initial light source. However, compared to other expensive toy accessories, this option is much better suited for practical use, which makes it stand out from a number of other "firefly startups".

First and foremost, no energy is required to create a bright, winding light path on the back of the iPhone. More precisely, the watts accumulated in the smartphone's battery are spent only on activating the built-in LED flash directly, and the elements of the case work in passive mode. For this, the designers had to experiment a lot to create a polymer material with the proper refractive index of light. The photons generated when the flash is turned on quickly sweep through the thickness of the translucent plate, breaking out in those places where holes have been made on the protective coating - this is how a light pattern is created.

The simplest and most logical application for the Sparkbeats case is to inform the owner with a light signal when receiving push notifications; for this, a corresponding utility is included in the kit. The second option is just fun waving your smartphone, accompanying dance steps with light effects, entertainment for parties. If desired, the light code can transmit signals over a distance, a long running "snake" is easier to track than a single flash of light. Plus, the case is a designer accessory for your iPhone anyway - those who know a lot about it will probably want to add to their collection.

Since the Sparkbeats Case belongs to high-tech gadgets, you will have to pay $ 69 to own it. The start-up sponsors are promised discounts, and they can also choose a light green shade of the case in addition to the standard black and white colors. True, it will no longer be possible to get into their number, the startup was successfully completed a few days ago - it raised 30% more funds than was required.
