Halo Back, is a screen protector dubbed the 'World's First Smart Screen Protector'. It adds a back button to your iPhone that can be easily reached with your thumb.
Halo Back is the first smart screen protector in the world. The invisible back button let your iPhone go back easily. With this little magic, you can operate your phone with a single hand.
To enable this functionality, a circuit layer is added to a traditional glass screen protector. It helps to lead current when you press lower left corner of the screen, resulting in a press of the back button at the top left.
Halo Back has already been successfully funded on KickStarter and deliveries to customers are expected in August.
There is still 18 days left for your to pledge $17 to get one of the first ones. It's available for both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Take a look at the video below for more details...
Just tried a test where the button would be and as I am left handed it gets a little painful trying to reach down with my left thumb to the left corner.... Just Another thing that persecutes us lefties :D LOL
Omg! Too many ads in this app now. I understand you need ads to make some money, but get them to work properly as they keep bugging out when I scroll down before the ad pops up. I have been using this app for years now and will probably delete it now. Was fun while it lasted.
Cool idea! This would be useless if Apple had relocated the back button to the bottom left in iPhone 6 & 6 plus with iOS 8, instead they introduced 'Reachability'. Seriously, Apple never optimised iOS 8 and its apps for bigger iPhones. It's the same OS for both smaller and larger iPhones and even for iPads. I do like the swipe back and forth gestures over the edges because I don't want the back button to take any valuable space on the screen (but this might not be so practical with iPhone 6 plus, which is too big to reach the left edges with thumb).
Android has had a back button since 2009. Just saying. Not a fan of this idea but kudos to the business minded people trying to make their ideas come to life
