This wallet will let you charge your iPhone with its built-in battery!
Battery packs, car chargers, battery cases, etc., are a solution, but can prove to be a bit bulky and heavy.
New Delhi: iPhone users, rejoice! One of the biggest woes of the smartphone users is when the battery runs out after only a few hours. You start with 100%, which by some sort of sorcery metamorphoses into 15%.
That moment is when everyone hits the panic button and starts hunting for a plug point and charger. The problem isn't exactly unheard of, especially if you own an iPhone other than the 6 plus or 6S plus.
Battery packs, car chargers, battery cases, etc., are a solution, but can prove to be a bit bulky and heavy.
If you are one of those iPhone users, then you are about to get lucky! A new wallet made by Nomad, purveyor of unique accessories for the Apple Watch and other iOS devices, has a built-in, non-removable battery pack that will be a saviour for the time your battery drains out unannounced.
As per TechCrunch, it comes in two sizes – slim and bi-fold – both of which pack a 2400mAh battery. This capacity is enough to fully charge an iPhone 6. It also includes an integrated lightening cable, along with a Micro USB port that is used to charge the battery.
The wallet itself, on the other hand, is just as nice, with supreme-quality leather.
Nomad recruited Horween Leather Company, a Chicago-based tannery that provides leather to make balls for the NFL and NBA and gloves for MLB, according to TechCrunch.
Furthermore, the slim sells for $119.95 and the bi-fold for $149.95. The $30 dollar price difference is solely to account for the extra leather in the bi-fold, and the company says the leather is by far the most expensive component of the wallet’s manufacturing price.
The batteries in both the slim, as well as the bi-fold version, are fitted into the spine of the wallet, which makes it slightly bigger than normal wallets, but at least it will rid you of hunting and lugging around for a charger or a battery pack in your bag or purse.
