The Gold Solar Charger for iPhone
If you own a mobile phone (you do, don’t you), there are two things you’ll want to ensure: (1) that your battery is always charged; and (2) that you don’t break the darned thing when you drop it. Protective covers for cell phones are ubiquitous – from simple, black wraps to fancy bling-bling versions.
I’ll take one that can recharge my phone. No cords or plugs required.
The Solarcharger combines a protective cover with a solar-powered charging case. Available at novothink.com, the Solarcharger fits iPhones and iPod Touches.
Its less than $80, and comes in four cool color options (metallic black, white, blue, green and gold) to fit your personality!
This solar cell phone device is the first Apple-certified hybrid solar charger for the iPhone and iPod Touch. You can recharge your device through the embedded solar panels, or simply plug it into an outlet.
The protective case allows full access to the touch screen and includes a USB connection to charge or sync with iTunes without having to take your iPhone out of its case. There are also ports for speakers so that sound isn’t dampened.
Small, lightweight and sleek, the Solarcharger has a comfortable, ergonomic design and a non-slip finish. Whenever you are out and about, your iPhone or iPod touch could be recharging with exposure to sunlight – whether running, hiking, biking, camping or hanging out at the beach or pool! LED status light indicators tell you when its recharged.
According to the website, here’s how it works:
- State-of-the-art solar panel allows continuous charging from the sun
- Custom designed and engineered solar panels outputs 5.5V at 100 mAh in full sun
- 2 hours of direct solar exposure provides about 30 minutes of talk time on a 3G network or 60 minutes of talk time on a 2G network
