What we have here is a novel idea – an iPhone case that improves gaming experience while not adding too much bulk to the phone. The product, called Flipside, does its magic by integrating gaming controls into the back of the case making sure you always have your gaming controller with you — when you want to play a game, unsnap parts of the back and attach it to the front. Sounds weird, but it’s actually pretty easy to easy.
And there’s more. You see, Flipside also comes with a solar panel on the back which is used for recharging the built-in battery. Sounds pretty awesome to me though unfortunately it works with iPhones only (iPhone 4/4S and iPhone 5). However, if enough people express their interest, the Flipside team will launch cases for Android smartphones.
In order to secure your unit, you’ll have to pledge at least $60. The goal is raise $135,000, in case you wonder. Here’s a demo video explaining the FlipSide project.
And you can secure your FlipSide from this page at KickStarter.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
