Case for iPhone with pop-out goggles doubles as VR headsetA big barrier to all those new 360-degree videos cropping up on YouTube, Facebook and elsewhere is that people are rarely carrying around a VR headset to strap on whenever they are ready to get immersed in a new video. Some might caution against this kind of practice in public just out of concern for safety, but at least one company wants to make sure users always have a VR viewer with them.

Quantum Bakery put up its Figment VR iPhone case on Kickstarter and was fully funded within a month. The product is not available commercially yet, so the broader success remains to be seen. Currently, pre-orders are available for $69, which is $10 off the retail price.

By the looks of it, the case has a fairly elegant and clever design, which no doubt aided its appeal in the crowdfunding campaign. Figment VR does not appear to be bulkier than most iPhone cases. The goggles are hidden in the back and pop out at the press of a button. This allows users to hold their phone in front of them, with the goggles resting on the bridge of the nose,

unlike Google Cardboard. This means there is no strap for a handsfree experience, but many people are already accustomed to holding their phones up in this fashion thanks to Google and its VR cardboard.

To be sure, $70 to $80 is a lot more than a piece of cardboard and many are not yet convinced of the merits of 360-degree videos and other VR media. However, early adopters may find this compelling. Many apps now offer content designed for VR headsets. The New York Times gave out a million units of Google Cardboard to subscribers last year so people could experience 360-degree videos in the NYT app.

Like many niche products these days, though, it is currently available for the iPhone only, fitting the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus form factor. China suppliers are already capitalizing on this design by focusing on the iPhone market. It is not hard to spot the similarities between the Figment VR case and products such as the VR Box from Dongguan Rollmax Electronic Co. Ltd. But since imitation is said to be the purest form of flattery, Quantum Bakery may have a hit on its hands.

$50 phone case transforms into selfie stick—and moreNeumagine's Flip It is a 4-in-1 “premium selfie case with a built-in selfie stick." The product allows people to have "multiple selfie experiences," something the Flip It designer declares is not accomplished by any other product in the market.

Were people clamoring for multiple selfie experiences from their selfie sticks? If not, maybe they will now. News of the product was picked up by Ubergizmo, which called it “the most ridiculous selfie stick ever.”

The product can be used as a case, selfie stick, remote camera and a kickstand. The latter allows a smartphone to be stood up on a surface while the user takes a picture using the included Bluetooth remote from afar.

The stick part slides out from the back of the case. In the promotional video, it looks like it bulges out from the back a bit, but the designer says it is "pocket-friendly." The handle on the back of the product can also be completely removed, allowing a battery to slide in. It can likewise be mounted on various surfaces such as the

vents of a car, negating the need for a more complicated dashboard mount.

For now, it looks like the Flip It case is just for iPhones. The case for the iPhone 6 and 6s is expected to retail for $50, while the larger case for the 6 Plus and 6s Plus will be $55. Most selfie sticks coming out of China, where the devices are very popular, obviously do not cost that much. However "ridiculous" a premium selfie stick might be, perhaps the world just does not know yet how much it has been waiting for one.

At Global Sources, our No. 1 priority is the protection of our buyers’ interests and businesses. The following describes our supplier verification related systems, processes and icons.

Verified Suppliers are suppliers and exhibitors whose business registration details have been verified by independent third parties such as D&B (Dun & Bradstreet), Ease Credit or Experian. (For buyers’ convenience, GlobalSources.com also includes some suppliers who have not been verified.)

Verified Manufacturers are Verified Suppliers whose business scope, as licensed by relevant government departments, allows them to manufacture goods.

Exhibitors have been verified face-to-face by Global Sources staff and have had a physical booth presence at one or more Global Sources trade shows.

Supplier Capability Assessment is an independent, third-party report based on an onsite visit, and includes in-depth information about suppliers’ operations, production capabilities, QC processes, management and more. It is an optional paid service for all Verified Suppliers.
