Someday you might be able to use Android on your iPhone after all.

It’s a story literally as old as the iPhone itself. What if, like a computer, your iPhone could dual-boot with Android? It’d be the best of both worlds, right?

Lee’s case works like this: there’s a separate board and battery behind the case, and it runs Android externally to the iPhone’s hardware. Essentially it’s treating your iPhone as an external display for his own Android-capable hardware.
