Why buy an e-reader when you can turn your smartphone into an e-reader? This is the Astropad argument presented by Bookcase on October 23rd. This is a case that allows you to read more comfortably on your phone according to the company. “This case is so comfortable and practical that you can leave your Kindle at home,” he said on his site.
Specifically, the Bookcase is magnetically attached to the smartphone using Magsafe technology, similar to that of Apple, which is compatible since the iPhone 12. For older iPhones and Android smartphones, Astropad includes a Magsafe conversion kit so that they can benefit from this technology. From there, the user can use the edges of the shelf to hold it as if it were an e-reader.
Provide a better reading experience.
Astropad ensures your case works with all reading apps, whether Apple Books, Audible, or Media. Users can even install the Bookcase app on their smartphone to indicate their favorite reading apps and what settings to enable (Do Not Disturb, Reading Mode, etc.) when their phone is connected.
Astropad thus aims to offer a better reading experience to users, in particular by preventing neck pain and hand cramps, which can occur when reading on their smartphone. With the bookstore they will also be able to “develop better reading habits” and “transform their free time into reading time”, for example during long transport trips.
The Bookcase is available for pre-order at a price of 46.99 euros and deliveries will begin in six weeks.
