TaskOne is one of those small startups with a bright idea. It produces iPhone cases that are not only sturdy but are also useful. The TaskOne G3 is one of those cases and it is essentially a miniature toolbox that’s attached to your smartphone.
TaskOne G3 is perfect for those who love being outdoors but want to travel light. The case has an aircraft-grade aluminium housing that is attached to the phone using 2 polycarbonate bands. You might also be surprised to know that the case holds 16 hardened steel tools. Here’s a breakdown of the tools and functions:
- 2.5” Removable knife
- 1.8” Wood saw
- Screwdrivers x 3
- Mount for reciprocating saw blade
- Allen wrenches x 6
- Wire stripper
- Bottle opener
- Kickstands x 2 (for vertical and horizontal positions)
- Wire cutter
- Pliers
- Box wrenches that can handle sizes from 3 to 6mm
- Standard Ruler
TaskOne has made some modifications to the original design as well. The case now features large aluminium buttons at the back that are not only comfortable to use but also allows for easy access to the tools. The polycarbonate bands are now thicker and stronger so that it provides a sturdier grip while using the tools. The bottle opener, Allen wrench and knife can be locked into place during use and for storage. The port openings on the bands will allow for standard Apple chargers and headphones and should work with most aftermarket brands.

It has a retail price of US$99.95 (~RM323) and is made for iPhone 5/5s. For shipping to Malaysia, you’ll need to add US$14.71 (~RM47) and it comes with 6-10 day wait.
