A little sun for the iPhone

There are plenty of iPhone and iPod accessories on the market, but how many of them have been certified by Apple? Not many and not only because the company maintains an image of certain exclusivity, but because many of them are simply not worth it.

Novothink Solar Surge is so far the only solar charger and protective case for iPhone and iPod Touch that has been recognized by the Big Apple company. The charger is capable of doubling the life span of the battery by transforming the energy from the sun’s rays. Just in case, your lithium ion battery can also be recharged by plugging the Solar Surge into the computer’s USB.

It’s not particularly cheap for a charger: $ 79.95 (EUR 63) for the iPhone version and $ 69.95 (EUR 55) for the second-generation iPod touch, but it pairs well with Apple devices and is a good way to get started in green technology.
