The BiKN iPhone case by Treehouse Labs is a smart case that finds tiny tags you attach to the stuff you care about, reports ecoustics.
"In creating BiKN we asked, 'why can't your phone case protect more than just your phone?'. BiKN is essentially a wireless network for your stuff with both a head -- our smart case -- and a heart -- the myBiKN app." said John Howard, Founder & CEO of Treehouse Labs. "It's not just an alarm or a tether. BiKN enables your iPhone to keep up with your stuff and your stuff to page your phone. Even if it is dead or turned off."
The BiKN smart case and tags can be color configured to your personal taste. Users can choose either a black or white base and pair it with one of six soft-touch, snap-on matte color highlights. The tags feature a cap that can slide off to reveal a micro-USB port for quick charge.
The myBiKN app is used to "find", "Leash" or "Page" items. Find mode helps you locate misplaced items. Leash mode lets you set an alarm that will sound if a tagged item gets too far away from your iPhone. Page mode will sound an alarm on a specific or multiple tags. The myBiKN app will also let you know how much battery life is left in the smart case and tags.
The case is set for release at the end of next year.
