Sure, there are plenty of battery cases available for every variety of smartphone. But we’ve yet to see a charger case – that is, a case the also acts a power adapter for your smartphone. Prong’s latest PocketPlug aims to remedy that – it’s the first smartphone case+charger in-one. And a clever solution for the flashpacker or minimalist traveler who already has too many cables and accessories in his pack.
The PocketPlug is engineered with retractable plugs so it simultaneously serves as a portable charging solution. The case is constructed of high-grade polycarbonate with a soft-touch rubber finish, providing a high-end feel. It’s also designed to enhance audio by redirecting the sound from your phone’s built-in speaker towards the front of the phone. Bonus for road warriors: the integrated USB port means you can charge your phone in the car or via an external backup battery.
