Technology firm recognized

Longview-based technology firm BuySTARcase.com received a 2022 Innovation Award at the Consumer Electronics Showcase.

The company described its STARcase is “an innovative, app-controlled smartphone case with automatic charge technology that displays customized notifications on a LED screen for calls, texts, emails, and third-party apps.”

“The STARcase syncs with the user’s contacts and apps, allowing the user to choose from hundreds of light shows, animated icons, and customizable scrolling text to view messages and notifications on the back of the phone,” information from the company said. “It also provides industry-first ‘smart charging’ capability, allowing the user to customize when and how much to charge the phone from the case, reducing the prospects of ever being caught with a dead phone battery.”

“We are thrilled to be named a CESB. 2022 Innovation Award Honoree,” said Tom Coverstone, chief innovation officer at BuySTARcase.com. “We have spent years engineering, modifying, and perfecting the STARcase. It is an honor to be recognized with the prestigious CES Innovation Award as recognition for the team’s exceptional efforts.”

The CES Innovation Awards are an annual competition honoring outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology products across 28 product categories. This year’s CES Innovation Awards program received a record-high number of more than 1,800 submissions, and the STARcase won in the Mobile Phone and Accessories Category.
