CLIQ case adds three NFC buttons on your smartphone

The NFC-enhanced Cliq case comes in your choice of five colors. CLIQ cases

What is your most common app? Kindle? Calendar? Camera? Can you the icon on your home screen, but you must still through the lock screen swipe reader, navigate to the home screen and tap the icon. Phew! Exhausting!

Wouldn't it be great, if only one physical button, now a favorite app or a function could push to start? That's the idea behind the Cliq, a Smartphone case with three built-in shortcut keys.

These keys rely on Near Field Communication (NFC), which means that they wirelessly and without any kind of special power source to operate. Instead, they consider the juice, you need the Smartphone-NFC stereo. And they program their functions through a simple application.

Does that sound familiar? This concept is already surfaced a NFC buttons stickers in the form of pits, providing more or less the same functionality. A better option is the Cliq? That depends on it.

The Cliq app let you customize the three buttons to your liking. CLIQ cases

Because it is a case, it provides protection. But it is available to only a select few mobile phones, at least in the beginning: the LG G2 Google nexus 5, Motorola Moto X and Samsung touch 3, S4 and S5. The dimples does not protect your phone, but it should work with any non-metal case, you already use.

What the Cliq buttons gives you three of them, all lined up in close to the left edge of the housing (if you keep your phone screen front). With the dimples, you get the buttons to position, where you are, at least in the theory-after my experience with a prototype wishing she worked not everywhere.

The CLIQ app promises virtually every adaptation, allowing you an application a flashlight sending a prefabricated text message starts. The developers are also promising compatibility with Automation apps like AutomateIt, and Tasker, means you could trigger may be even more complex actions.

The Kickstarter campaign seeks $40,000, already financed with nearly $17,000 and go about three weeks to raise. The $20 and $25 early backer options are sold out, but you can pre-order yet a Cliq (at the choice of the colors) for $30. Given the fact that a four button dimple is running $27, is no bad costs of entry.
