For those with a Green Thumb: the Solar iPhone Charger

The iphone is undeniably one of the pinnacles of modern day technology at present. Utilizing a healthy slew of cutting edge design and hi-tech equipment, it became a sort of "phone of all trades". And who could argue? A light, portable device that could surf the web, play games and video and music, organize your work schedule and much more, what else do you need for a hassle free life? Well, despite setting the standard for smart phones everywhere, the iPhone still suffers from the same recalcitrant problem as any portable gadgets today; limited battery life. While many people tend to disregard this as a minor flaw, wouldn’t it be nice if we can play, surf and work with our iPhones without the fear of suddenly running out of juice in a very untimely moment? Luckily, we have an answer for that: the solar iPhone charger.

The solar iPhone charger is technically an iPhone case with a built in solar panels. As the name suggest it gathers energy from the sun to power up your iPhone. It can also store energy as backup supply in case the energy collected is inadequate. The solar iPhone charger can charge your iPhone as long as necessary, provided that there is a sun to continuously supply energy to refill it. But if you find yourself, in a dire need of recharging your battery at night, better stick to the USB cable. Other than that, it's a piece of equipment recommended for travelers and adventurers alike.

There are other innovative features for the solar iPhone charger including a durable and lightweight design that doubles it up as a stylish carrying case while also enabling you to charge your iPhone while you’re running, walking, jumping, or biking. No swimming of course, we all know what would happen if we try that. Other features to be noted are the LED status indicators, to prevent overcharging, an ergonomic design with a non slip finish and several ports that enables you to fully use all the functions of the iPhone without needing take it out from the solar iPhone charger case.

More importantly, it's a clean and efficient way to energize the iPhone for free. Needless to say, the only problem here is if you need to recharge at night or on a rainy day as we mentioned earlier. Otherwise, this is some sweet piece of technology that even Mother Nature would approve, whether or not she has an iPhone of her own.
