Ugreen added a rear e-ink display to its latest iPhone accessory, letting users show custom images on the back of their device. This change matters because it turns a standard protective case into a small canvas for personal expression, though the feature serves a niche audience. Buyers who want to customize the look of their phone without changing the device itself will find this option interesting.
Ugreen launches protective case with rear e-ink display for iPhone 18 Pro
The product is the Magic E-ink Screen Case, designed specifically for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. It attaches to the back of the phone and covers a large portion of the rear surface. The case does not function as a secondary screen for notifications or media playback.
