This case keeps phones at Optimal temperature

If you read the fine print when you got your new smartphone, you learned that it won't operate efficiently if it's too hot or too cold.

I ignored that advice until after I left my iPhone in the car on a sub-zero night and it refused to boot up the next morning. The phone eventually woke up and I vowed to never again treat it so carelessly.

The people at Amited know that we love our phones and don't intentionally set out to mistreat them. That's why they created Optimal, the world's first thermal protection case for smartphones. The Optimal case knows when a phone is in danger or getting too hot or too cold and it automatically responds to keep  the phone in its safety zone.

By monitoring and adjusting temperatures, the case protects the phone's CPU, battery, graphics processor and other internal elements. It also boosts  the phone's performance in harsh conditions, like when you're on a ski slope or in an extended gaming session. You can keep the case in auto pilot mode, or make manual adjustments using the Optimal app.

The company is currently making cases for the iPhone 5, 5s and 6; Samsung's Note 4 and Galaxy s5; the Sony Xperia Z3 and M2, the HTC One M7 and the MI3 by Xiaomi. Cases for more models are on the way.

Amited plans to launch a funding campaign on Indiegogo in a few weeks where they will offer cases at discount prices to early contributors. Meanwhile, get more details at the Amited website and follow the company on Twitter.
