S.I.D. - Safeguard the next generation
Talk about thinking "outside" the box (literally).
If you like sci-fi and action/FPS games. Then it´s very likely that you know who Sid Garrand are. If not, then you have probably at least seen some of his artwork (sci-fi and video game costumes for ex). And speaking of Sid Garrand, the lad has just started a really neat Kickstarter campaign for his creation "S.I.D" (Safeguard the next generation).
So what is the S.I.D all about then? Well, it´s like a smartphone cover. But for your PS4 and Xbox One instead. But it´s not your average kind of cover. It´s more like a super cool Star Wars/Mechwarrior kind of thing. And not only does the S.I.D look really cool, it also cools down your system and protects it (thanks to the protective armour) at the very same time.
That´s what i call a smart and creative solution. There´s however a little catch to all this. Because S.I.D needs to collect $155,000 on Kickstarter to become a reality (a consumer product). But due the fact that there´s 34 days left on the Kickstarter watch, it´s far from impossible to reach that goal on time.
And if that´s the case. Then S.I.D will be released sometime in December this year.
