Eye, the creation of Israeli company ESTI Inc., is basically an Android smartphone built into an iPhone case. This means, Apple’s industrial design with power and flexibility of Android.

This project has been rather successful (it already hit its $100,000 funding goal) and it’s been picked up by many high-profile publications. Eye aims to offer a number of “cool features you never knew you needed.”

This includes features that Apple stubbornly refused to put on the iPhone, including wireless charging, two SIM slots, a microSD card slot, full NFC, and an infrared port. It even includes a 3.5 mm audio jack. There’s also a 5-inch OLED display and full Android 7.0 Nougat, running on a MediaTek Helio P20 chip and 3GB of RAM.

It could be thought of as a complete Android phone shaped as a case for the iPhone 7, 6S, S or their Plus variants.

But then why? Why would you want to carry a Frankenstein’s monster with two screens and two operating systems, when you could simply buy one of the many affordable Android smartphones instead and do what normal people do – lunge around two phones?

The problem is that the promises and the constraints of the project seem knotted up. Designing an Android is not easy, but designing one that is perfect compatible with as an add-on to an iOS phone, keeping in mind a suspiciously low price tag (starting from $95) with another reckless promise to ship by August seems far-fetched at best.

Although the project doesn’t look like an obvious scam like the completely made-up Comet Core phone from 2015, the chances that they will deliver in time are low. Either way, it’s a very cool product to look forward to!
