Battery cases for iPhone 5 are all the rage at the moment, but even so, for the most part, users’ quench for extra battery life isn’t satisfied. Gridcase is planning to give you the perks of owning your very own power generator for iPhone 5. The battery case that will make it possible is called Reactor for iPhone 5, and although it’s in the funding stage, this is one project we’d really love to see how it works in everyday life.
It was almost a month ago that Gridcase made the announcement about its Reactor for iPhone 5. News outlets immediately made it viral, and for a really good cause. Gridcase is using Crowd Supply to showcase their project and raise money. “Crowd Supply lets us show a 3-D rendering of what we expect our final product will look like” said Jim Clark, Reactor inventor. “Backers want to understand the risks of a project but also see our vision for what the final product will be when it reaches their hands. Crowd Supply gives us the freedom to tell our story, our own way” he added.

“Reactor is exactly the kind of timely innovation that we’re proud to support on Crowd Supply” reads a statement by Lou Doctor, co-founder and CEO of Crowd Supply. “Our goal is to partner with project creators to achieve long-term success and pave the way for the next generation of innovative companies”. With that being said, let’s take a good look at what Gridcase Reactor aims to do for your iPhone 5 experience. Then, you can figure out by yourself if you want to make a pledge and have your product delivered as soon as it is assembled.
Reactor is a two-piece case for iPhone 5 that packs a 400mAh Boost Battery and a 500mAh Manual Generator. Inventor Jim Clark explains the case was imagined to be as thin as possible, so the Reactor generator case for iPhone 5 should be 8.5 mm thick and 4.5 oz in weight. The first 10,000 Reactor cases will be sold for $99 and shipping should begin later this year, as of October. As for the retail price, the Reactor case for iPhone 5 is expected to retail for $149.
But before arguing the Reactor for iPhone 5 is considerably more expensive than your average battery case, remember that this case gives you power whenever you ran out. “A small built-in battery provides enough of a boost to revive a dead phone, while manually cranking the generator can extend the battery life of the iPhone indefinitely”. We’d argue this is definitely the case to be putting in your emergency backpack for next year’s summer storms that leave you stranded in the dark for days and nights at a turn.
