Are there any cases that increase your memory on the iPhone 5?

Hi, everyone.

I've been watching Chris' vlogs and Geek Outs all weekend, and what caught my fancy was Chris' iPhone 5's case. I was wondering were l would pick one up -- I'm from Australia, so a website would be handy.

Second, do any of you guys know of an iPhone case that is thin and to which you can add your own expandable storage? I have heard of iExpandable, but it's too thick for my liking. If you know of a case that supports this -- if you don't mind -- can you send me a link to it?

Thanks for your cooperation!

Memory is different than storage you know?

@catchatyou, I do but here in Australia we say memory not storage.

Nope. The iOS devices storage can't be expanded, nor it's RAM. It sucks that there's no SD slot to off-load it, but yeah.

I do see this link here: http://www.businessinsider.com/iexpander-expandable-memory-iphone-kickstater-2012-9, as you said the iExpander can do it, but it has it's certain limitations. You can't install apps, and it won't see it's internal memory, so don't think having a 16GB iPhone and a 32GB SD card, automatically makes it a 48GB phone. They'd still be separate.

Well that would be 48 GB (not 64 GB) but either way your right. Cool product you found.

0	yeah i don't think it is possible apple wants you to buy the phone with more memory for an extra $100, not an SD card for $20, can't blame them tbh, but it does suck. answered Oct 02 '12 at 00:06 trueb 14.9k●48●99●256
