Solar Charge The iPhone

by Kate on September 9, 2009

If you are into the iPhone craze – I don’t have one, but they are definitely really fun and useful phones – then you will soon have a chance to green your iPhone with the Apple-Certified iPhone and iPod solar charger.

The Solar Power Surge by Novothink is an iPhone and iPod touch case that has a solar panel on the back of it. It comes in several different colors and connects to the iPhone and iPod Touch and charges it using the sun’s energy. If the iPhone/iPod touch is fully charged or the Solar Power Surge is not connected to your iPhone/iPod touch, it stores the energy in an internal battery until it is connected to the iPhone/iPod touch again or until the iPhone/iPod touch needs power. The Solar Power Surge also has LED lights on the side that tell you if there is enough sunlight for a charge and the status of the charge of the internal battery.

It is awesome to find out that you can keep your iPhone or iPod touch charged by just using the sun. The sad thing is if you have an older iPhone or iPod, the Solar Power Surge does not work…bummer. Still a really cool new solar powered gadget.
