There are some phones out there that come with expandable memory where you can pop in a microSD card and you’re good to go. Then there are some phones where the memory is fixed so you will have to decide carefully on how much space you will need before buying it, otherwise you’re pretty much stuck.
The good news is that perhaps you won’t have to make that choice in the future, thanks to a smartphone case called the ExoDrive. The ExoDrive is basically a smartphone case that accepts microSD cards. When connected to your phone, it will give you extra storage based on the size of the microSD card that you popped inside.
This is great and will work with phones with fixed memories. According to its creator, it will play nicely with handsets like the Moto X, Moto G, Nexus 6, Samsung Galaxy S5, the LG G2, the HTC One M7, the Nexus 5, OnePlus One, the HTC One M8, and the Samsung Galaxy S4. So what about iPhones?
The creators claim to have a prototype in the works that could potentially work with the iPhone, but they will only be looking into that if they managed to raise its stretch target of $79,000 in funding. We reckon it’s a pretty good idea and if you’d like to lend them a hand in making the ExoDrive case a reality, head on over to their Kickstarter page for the details.
