App finds options based on the phone's condition and then installs custom OS designed to optimize phone for its new function. User places the phone in the case where it becomes the heart of a new product. ReCover helps users to save phones from the landfill and acquire new useful products for less. Manufacturers can profit from old devices by providing subscription services with no new hardware development.
