Modular power bank concept uses a series of wireless snap-on battery ‘bookmarks’ to give your phone 30 hours of charge

Posted on by

Battery Pods is a smartphone charging system comprised of a smartphone charging case and magnetic battery strips to supply your smartphone with 1400mAh worth of charge.

Everyone needs a charger, but no one wants to carry one around. Battery packs are bulkier than your smartphone and wire chargers depend on an outlet to actually work. So the question of how our phones will get battery remains. PS Design Studio, known for conceptualizing smartphone accessories, tried their hand at a solution with Battery Pods, magnetic battery strips that charge your phone by attaching to an accompanying phone case.

Similar to the battery pack of Airpods, Battery Pods come in a convenient carrying case that charges on the go. Complete with seven battery strips, each Battery Pod comes with enough battery to keep your phone charged throughout the day.

To get your smartphone all charged up, Battery Pods comes with a removable phone case that latches onto your phone and leaves a landing strip where the battery packs can magnetically attach. Once the stirp to attached to the phone case, users can charge their smartphones on the go.

Each battery strip comes stocked with 1200 mAh, which, on a full charge, typically gives you 6-7 hours of phone usage time. The actual charging phone case comes with 3000 mAh worth of charge, giving you up to 30 hours’ worth of phone usage.

Conceptualized in an array of different colors, each battery strip keeps a color of its own, making it easier for users to decipher which battery strips have been used and which could still supply some charge.

Meet Beyond Ink Pen, the Ultimate Writing Tool

Posted on by
Beyond Ink Pen 02

If you’ve always been waiting to use a writing tool that also acts as a stylus, storage drive and power bank for your iPhone, then the wait is over as the Beyond Ink pen is here and can accomplish all of those tasks and more.

Writing tools couldn’t have served a single function until the end of time, especially since they have so much potential and there are so many different aspects that can be integrated in them. Beyond Ink, the pen in question, is not only a Jack of all trades, but also a master of all, since it accomplishes many different functions better than if you’d use multiple devices with a single purpose.

First and foremost, the Beyond Ink pen can be used as a regular writing tool, so you can scribble anything you want on paper or similar materials. However, the pen’s functionality extends way beyond that, as it was created as a solution to several problems faced by engineers, entrepreneurs and marketing professionals. During their meet-up, they realized that they all had different needs when it came to jotting down concepts. Some of them were recording ideas on iPads and laptops, while others were big fans of pen and paper. Using storage and the need to record or exchange ideas as a common denominator, they proceeded to inventing a device that plays all of these roles, and that’s exactly how the Beyond Ink Pen was born.

There are plenty of writing tools that double as styluses, so this is definitely not the greatest selling point of this device. However, this is a welcome feature, as you’ll find plenty of moments when a stylus offers better precision than your fingers.

The Beyond Ink pen also acts as a USB drive, being capable of storing up to 16GB of data. That’s more than enough for storing documents and projects, so don’t hesitate to use it as a storage device.

On top of this all, the Beyond Ink pen also packs a 1,000mAh Panasonic battery that easily turns it into a power bank. All you need to do is connect the pen to your iPhone using the Lightning connector (a microUSB version is also available for Android/Windows Phone/Blackberry users). The capacity may not sound like much, it’s enough for 5 hours of talk time, so it could really save your life in emergency situations.

Not at last, it should be mentioned that the Beyond Ink pen is also incredibly durable, since it’s made out of high-quality stainless steel and brass, materials that not only make it very sturdy, but also provide the impression of luxury.

Typically retailing for $70, the Beyond Ink pen can be purchased within the 5 days from Walyou Deals for $49. A 30% discount shouldn’t be neglected, considering the versatility of this little gadget. All sales are final and the product is shipped for free to continental US addresses.

Meet Sarvi Dock, A Fantastic Stand and Charger for iOS and Android Devices

Posted on by
Sarvi Dock 01

There are many docks out there that can also charge your device while holding them in a comfortable to use position. Just when you think you have found the perfect one, you discover a major drawback, but thankfully, that’s not the case with the Sarvi Dock.

A product of Sarvi Designs, this dock overcomes one of the main problems of desk chargers: it works perfectly fine even if the iOS or Android device is in a case, no matter how thick that is. The case’s shape is also irrelevant, so it can be a metal or PC bumper, a silicone case, or even one of those leather book cases. Best of all, it even works when your phone is equipped with one of those extended battery packs. The only thing that matters is to have unrestricted access to the phone’s or tablet’s port.

Here’s what Sarvi Design had to say about their product:

“Sarvi Dock was the first dock designed with cases as the main focus. We found that today most people use protective cases of different sizes to safeguard their devices.Finding a dock to fit protective cases can be difficult if not impossible. This is why we created Sarvi Dock – a charge and sync dock that works with any smartphone or tablet, in portrait or landscape orientation virtually any case and cable (third party, factory or even flat cables).

Works With More Cables? – Sarvi Dock has a universal kit that works with factory cables, all MFI cables, virtually all third party cables and even flat cables. We also added more cable channels to fit different sized cables. Designed for devices that work with Lightning, Micro USB and 3.0 USB cables. Sarvi Docks do not come with any cables.”

It’s not only the functionality, but also the design that sets the Servi Dock apart from its counterparts. With a curved body that holds the mobile device at an angle and with channels that enable you to use round and flat cables with an equal ease, this stand

The company is currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, where it hopes to raise $30K in the following 45 days. Backers have already pledged 34% of that, so there’s a great chance of the Sarvi Docker becoming a reality. Pledge $25 (+shipping, depending on where you live) to get yours in March 2015.

Just Mobile Gum++ and AluFrame, Metal Goodies!

Posted on by

Another day, another slew of accessories for the best phone in the world. THERE, I said it. You hate me now? They’re just electronic gigety-gadgets. No need for fanboism. Hug it out. With that said, the best phone in the world got a little better with the addition of the AluFrame and Gum++ both from Just Mobile. Y’all know I’m honest so hit the jump for my review.

Designer: Just Mobile

What are they? The Gum++ is a high capacity battery backup for your phone, not necessarily iPhone. It’ll work with anything that can suck up juice via USB but they do coincidentally come in the 3 colors currently available with the 5s – just saying. Inside is a 6000mAh battery with enough capacity to charge up your phone 3x. In practice, I found that to be true although my phone was never less than 1/4 empty before I went in for a refill. The Gum++ itself is quite small and surprisingly lightweight. Solid metal construction with a convenient row of LEDS to indicate how much power is left. I never saw much need for a battery backup until I was stuck in an airport and instead of sitting on the floor next to the two outlets LAX has (seriously tho?), I just whipped out this little thing and all was right in the world.

The AluFrame is an aluminum bumper that wraps around the iPhone 5 and 5s in one piece using a clever latch and lock system. Most bumpers come in two pieces that slide together. The AluFrame feels more solid because of its one piece construction. It too comes in array of colors that match the iPhone. It even has a textured brushed surface just like the iPhone. All your phone’s functions are retained. In use, the AluFrame does what it’s supposed to. I especially appreciate how the inside is lined with rubber. My only gripe is how much bulkier it made my phone feel. As I said, I’m totally honest. I even reached out to Just Mobile and explained how the AluFrame is much thicker than a comparable metal bumper from another company. Just Mobile countered with a challenge; drop both phones in their respective cases and see which one holds up. Touché. I did not take the challenge. I’m scared like that.

In a nutshell, the Gum++ is definitely worth the $70 if you’re someone who is always on the go and needs a battery backup. The AlumFrame offers great protection but at also $70, is a tad steep. However like Just Mobile pointed out, you do get what you pay for – an immaculately constructed case for an immaculately constructed phone.
