In case, (wow no pun originally intended but I'll keep it) you guys hadn't seen or heard of the Popslate, it was a crowdfunded campaign to create an e-ink display case for the iPhone. It launched about a year ago and I've been an avid supporter. Beyond owning one, I have no stake in it's success but its quite seriously the first product I've been impressed enough by to help promote.

They're about to launch V2 and the only info I can find is through the following site which is also offering a launch discount. Figured it was worth sharing.

My biggest issues with V1 were the fact that the added bulk only provided the display, that it was powered through mini-usb which while it only takes a couple minutes to charge, it was tedious. With that said, the display worked well for images and less for text, the IFTTT and other iOS support meant that over the last few months it became way more useful.

They seem to be leveraging this feedback in v2 and have confirmed it will be available for both 6/6s and 6/6s Plus, the smooth back means crap doesnt get stuck between the display and the case, the display itself is crazy durable, along with the case that did a great job protecting my phone on a few drops. I'll be getting one.
