Having previously evolved its accessory lineup from increasingly impressive cases to small electronics, Incipio is using the 2014 CES to radically expand its footprint within the electronics space. In addition to a collection of impressive new Bluetooth accessories, Incipio is showing off a large lineup of new products from its speaker arm Braven, which we’re covering in a separate show report.
Incipio’s futuristic gun-shaped gaming controller for iOS ($70) has a detachable iPhone mount on the top, which will enable it to be used with not only traditional gun games for iOS, but also new augmented reality games developed specifically for it.
Prompt ($40), Incipio’s new battery-powered Bluetooth visual notifications system, sits on your desk and provides colored light indications for iPhone events such as phone ringing, receipt of text messages, and more. You can customize the light colors to your preferences for various events.

OffGrid Smart Backup Battery Case ($80), a new Bluetooth LE-powered battery case, has a 1600mAh battery and the ability to automatically turn itself on and off based on the power remaining within your iPhone 5/5s. The Battery Case has a granular remaining power indicator, too. It’s the same size as a regular OffGrid, albeit with less power capacity.
The OffGrid Smart standalone batteries come in 4000, 6000, and 8000mAh capacities ($70-$110). Like the Battery Case, they are capable of automatically activating and being monitored for granular changes in power level, with the additional benefit of being remotely activated from a separate device using Bluetooth.
Focal ($80) is a new camera case for the iPhone 5/5s, using Bluetooth LE to add physical zoom, shutter, and programmable shortcut buttons to your device, which along with a companion app really transforms the experience of using your iPhone into something very close to a typical point-and-shoot camera.
New keyboard cases for the iPad Air ($100) and iPad mini ($90) are designed with particularly nice typing surfaces optimized for each device; each keyboard slides out to accommodate additional iPad viewing angles.

A new $40 desktop charger connects an included wall adapter with twin 2.4-Amp charging ports that are easily accessible from the top of your desk rather than floor-mounted outlets.
