We have a policy of not writing about crowdfunded projects until they're either at or within touching distance of their goal, and the unique Lightercase (US$38 pre-order) certainly fits that criteria. It's currently about $1,200 away from a $25,000 goal with three weeks to go, and it looks like the project will definitely be launched.
What makes the Lightercase unique? A built-in no-flame cigarette lighter. Lightercase is the brainchild of Jason Buzi, the founder and CEO of Smartcase. He came up with the idea while out with friends one night -- friends who had their smartphones at their fingertips all night, but who kept asking for a light.
