We are starting to see a number of new devices hit the market with a secondary screen built into the phone or a case that has an optional one. The Yotaphone, Pocketbook and Pixel QI have all offered a wide array of concept pieces that have failed to takeoff in a meaningful way. A new Kickstarter campaign is ongoing for a second generation InkCase that has hit their funding target a few days into the program.

Following the success of the acclaimed InkCase, the second generation InkCase Plus now packs more power as a modular second screen for Android smartphones. With the new ability to install apps, InkCase Plus has become the converged multifunctional second screen for E Ink devices; just like the smartphone for communication and personal devices.

The InkCase could be used as a secondary screen for your Android device or used as the primary one. There are a few core functions that this accessory excels at, maps, reading, images, SMS Messaging, pick up incoming calls, and controlling  your music.

InkCase Plus is a fairly interesting concept with physical buttons to allow for easy access to pickup a call or snap a picture. I think the future of e-Book Reading accessories is sound, but its important for the device to function autonomously and not exclusively rely on you having a smartphone.
