In relation to some Banach spaces recently constructed by W. T. Gowers and B. Maurey, we introduce the notion of Schroeder-Bernstein index SBi(X) for every Banach space X. This index is related to complemented subspaces of X which contain some complemented copy of X. Then we establish the existence of a Banach space E which is not isomorphic to Eⁿ for every n ∈ ℕ, n ≥ 2, but has a complemented subspace isomorphic to E². In particular, SBi(E) is uncountable. The construction of E follows the approach given in 1996 by W. T. Gowers to obtain the first solution to the Schroeder-Bernstein Problem for Banach spaces.
