Powcell Solar-Powered iPhone Charger Sleeve
By Dan (EnviroGadget Writer) on August 5th, 2009
Solar charger gadgets are not exactly breaking news these days, but the Powcell solar charger is a little different in that its a bespoke case for an iPhone. The Powcell charger includes an internal battery which is charged via the solar panel, which is then used to charge the iPhone battery.
The case itself is a touch on the bulky side, but given how much battery power iPhones use, some free eco-friendly energy is no bad thing. Amusingly the designers call the product “unique”, but there are lots of iPod and iPhone solar chargers, so I remain sceptical. No pricing or technical specifications were available at the time of writing either.

Dont by it its crap! If it is fully charged it charges up your iPhone only 20%.
With a whole day of direct sunlight it charged up my iPhone 4% and thats it!!
Absolutely wasted money and the support is as bad as the product. NO replies on my emails!!!
Thanks for the warning Bernd!

Yes, don’t by it. The sun doesn’t charge the Phone, only the USB charge work well and no answer after 3 mails. Really bad product and Bad communication.
