While some have practical applications, like the drop protection you get with Otterbox cases and the extra battery endurance of a Mophie battery case, I\u2019ve come across novel ones too \u2014 like selfie cases that let me use the superior rear cameras instead of the traditional selfie one.<\/p>\n<p>However, they\u2019re all obsolete for me because of the innovative feature I found with the Xtrem Inno case for the iPhone 17 Pro. On the surface, it looks like any other generic case I\u2019d find on Amazon, but it ingeniously packages an e-ink display that makes it the most customizable case I\u2019ve ever come across.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-3b1c39f0-7ae3-11f1-a84e-13b88715c170-2\">After using it for over a week, I can say you won\u2019t ever want to go back to anything else. Here is what makes it so special.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-mobile\"\/><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/yjolrksv791774885936.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/yjolrksv791774885936.svg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/yjolrksv791774885936.svg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] max-h-12 w-auto\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-design-just-for-you-3\">A design just for you<\/h2>\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.29%;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XSpqEFRw95cwHkyZGxZkwk.jpg\" alt=\"Xtrem iPhone 17 Pro case screenshots.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XSpqEFRw95cwHkyZGxZkwk-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XSpqEFRw95cwHkyZGxZkwk-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XSpqEFRw95cwHkyZGxZkwk-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XSpqEFRw95cwHkyZGxZkwk-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XSpqEFRw95cwHkyZGxZkwk-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XSpqEFRw95cwHkyZGxZkwk-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XSpqEFRw95cwHkyZGxZkwk.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XSpqEFRw95cwHkyZGxZkwk.jpg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] inline\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Disney \/ Future)<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-5f941c22-7aec-11f1-890c-51ab9ce2bce8\">Phone cases shouldn\u2019t be boring, they should be an extension of your personality. That\u2019s what I love most about the Xtrem Inno. At its core, the case is built around offering a way to make the design uniquely mine. There\u2019s a circular cutout on the back that houses a color e-ink display, which I can customize with any design I want.<\/p>\n<p>Since I attended a World Cup game, I thought it\u2019d be great to use an image of Homer Simpson I found online for the occasion. The app makes the process a breeze because I can take literally any image and send it wirelessly to the e-ink display. The transfer takes less than 30 seconds, leaving me with a completely new case design.<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.29%;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QDvmbafm45iuQDkocXmfuk.jpg\" alt=\"Xtrem iPhone 17 Pro case screenshots.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QDvmbafm45iuQDkocXmfuk-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QDvmbafm45iuQDkocXmfuk-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QDvmbafm45iuQDkocXmfuk-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QDvmbafm45iuQDkocXmfuk-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QDvmbafm45iuQDkocXmfuk-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QDvmbafm45iuQDkocXmfuk-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QDvmbafm45iuQDkocXmfuk.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/QDvmbafm45iuQDkocXmfuk.jpg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] inline\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-5f941ce0-7aec-11f1-bae7-0fc15833e434\">Few phone cases offer this level of customization, but it doesn\u2019t end there. The app also includes &#8220;remix&#8221; options that add different artistic styles to your images, though these require using credits. While it\u2019s a nice addition, you could easily use AI chatbots like Gemini or ChatGPT to give your photos that added creative touch for free before&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/phones\/iphones\/all-other-iphone-cases-are-dead-to-me-after-testing-this-one-with-an-e-ink-display-heres-why\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All other iPhone cases are dead to me after testing this one with an e-ink&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":288217,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/u7iVMT9fjDfJuvgmLUgrjN-2000-80.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[80],"class_list":["post-288216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-iphone-17"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288216"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=288216"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288216\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":288218,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288216\/revisions\/288218"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/288217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=288216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=288216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
