Got it today.. I must say.. it does do a good job 🙂
 
yep you will get ripped for posting a 32000x90000 size image...

Nothing wrong with solar power, why would anyone rip you?
 
it cost me £6... we will see if this can work for the month. I could think a month? as it pays for it's self.
 
That makes it somewhat less mobile. I understand the conservation concept, though. Just don't duct-tape it to the top of your head so you can charge the iPhone while walking down the street (actually, go ahead...I dare you 🙂)
 
Where did you get the solar charger? I have one but it is different than that and much more expensive. Mine also takes forever to recharge.
 
i love it.. i want one too.. i looked at those the other month, but i havent lost power where i needed one on an averag day.
 
Have you put this to test?

How long does it take to charge the iPhone from an almost discharged state?

Great idea to have a solar charger in the case, but that one is frickin ugly. Is there one I wouldn't be ashamed to show someone?

*edit* What if the next iphone had a built in solar charger on it's back? It would probably not be able to recharge your phone everytime you needed, but in a pinch, when your low, or camping or hiking or something. I'd pay extra for that. Definitely.

Personally, I'm never that far away from the mains - I like my creature comforts too much! Give me a five star hotel over a tent any day 😀
 
Please drop us an updated review after a week or so. I bought a couple of batteries off Woot before I went to China. They worked okay in pinch, but the capacity sucks. I only get one charge per battery.

Now that would be innovative. How about having 4 smaller ones on the front - either side of the earpiece, and home button, so the look isn't tarnished?
