In one of the few occasions that we see airsoft players going to Kickstarter to raise funds for their product designs, it is even rarer to see them designing that can be used by non-airsoft players. In this case, a group of airsoft players from Cero Tactical have announced that they are raising funds for the Signal Morale Case (SMC) on Kickstarter designed to be part of your Every Day Carry (EDC).

The first thing that will come to your mind is what’s special with the Signal Moral Case when there are already phone cases designed to protect mobile phones that are rugged enough to be carried into the battlefield. The Cero Tactical Signal Morale Case does a little bit more than protecting your mobile case. It can also be used for emergency and communications purposes and can display your favourite morale patch.

Nick Moore of Cero Tactical, got in touch with us to explain more about the product:

As passionate pewpew people we as a group of friends wanted to create tacticool and airsoft gear that is designed by player for players.  It hasn’t been too long since Cero Tactical went from brainchild to real life, but that short window has been packed with product design, prototyping, and testing. We’re really pumped to announce our new product. We wanted to contribute to anyone’s everyday carry (EDC) by releasing something that would be really easy to carry, but also offers some unique attributes to your daily loadout. So, we redesigned a product that is already in your pocket all the time.

The Signal Morale Case (SMC) is a protective case for your smartphone. The case itself is made from Thermo Plastic Rubber (TPR), making it sturdy, tear resistant, and shock absorbent. On the inside, the back of our case is lined with a lightweight, flexible signal mirror.  Signal mirrors are a valuable  but rare addition to any EDC, and in the SMC, we will use a flexible, shatterproof plexiglass composite so you won't have to worry about having a piece of brittle glass in your pocket or your bag.

On the outside of our case, the back is lined with mil spec hook and loop fastener. We know that there is a lot of great tactical gear out there that has places to put all your favorite morale patches, but we don’t find tons of EDC options to display patches. We designed the back of our phone case to run any of your favorite morale patches, any time. This hook and loop fastener can also be used for securing your phone in important places, as well as mounting accessories to your phone.

Indeed, the Signal Morale Phone Case can be an essential gear to attach to your smartphone and include in your EDC bag. A simple and practical idea which can be used not only by airsofters but also outdoors people, preppers, and even those who go out in real missions who may need a signaling mirror.

The first SMCs are the iPhone 6, 6s, 6Plus, and 6SPlus, which means sorry for those who use Android mobile phones for the meantime. Perhaps, if they get successful in raising funds for the initial product can they turn their attention to designing versions for Android phones.

Cero Tactical has set a goal of US$13,000 with over 30 days to go. If they raise that amount, they intend to go into production in August 2016 with to start shipping to backers in December 2016.
