Motivated by the unseasonable sunny weather in New York I spent way more time in Central Park and really missed a solar powered charger for my iPhone. Not using the sun’s power felt like a waste of energy. Thanks to inhabitat for introducing me to the Novothink solar surge iPhone/iPod case. It’s the perfect green gadget for a sustainable mobile life-style. I use my iPhone all day long for browsing the web, listening to music and answering e-mails. With Novothink’s hybrid solar charger case I could even do it off the grid. So how does it work? The Novothink solar surge case generates electricity
through photovoltaic solar cells that are on the back. This energy is then stored in a lithium-ion polymer battery. The case is available for the iPhone or iPod touch and comes in various chic colors as well as black or white.
Novothink has a free solar planner app that I just downloaded to my iPhone. It allows me to calculate the needed amount of sun exposure for the Novothink solar surge case based on my estimated minutes for Internet, phone or audio usage. The cool little app is worth checking out before purchasing the hybrid solar charger. I’m not much of a phone person so that my recommended sun exposure is approximately one hour to avoid running out of power. It’s a good excuse to spend an hour each day in the sun.
