22 September 2008 3 Comments

If you’re cautious about being eco-friendly and want to save money (don’t sure if you’ll save lots with this though), you might want to give this solar charging iPhone case a try. All you need to do is insert your iPhone, switch the power on and place it under a spot with as much sunlight as possible.

The solar iPhone case is also unique in a way, as you can see above in the specs, it’s also got it’s own built-in battery, which I think means it is possible to charge up the built-in battery using solar energy and then reserve it for your iPhone later on, very neat and handy to have!

    Has anyone tested this device? As much as I love the idea of solar powered chargers, I’ve not found them effective. I purchased one for my Nokia 3120 and it never really moved when I sat it by the window on a sunny day.

    That would be interesting to find out, as you would assume that it works if people are already selling it online, right? And it’s not cheap for an iPhone case, it does cost almost 50 bucks! Thanks for your comment mate :)
