Here are some excerpts from an interesting review of solar battery cases for iPhone by Katie Fehrenbacher on Gigaom blog:
“… Most of these solar battery cases are really meant for topping off the iPhone battery, and shouldn’t be relied on as a primary power source. Even if you leave most of these devices in the sun for hours, they’ll only give you a small bit of talk time. But still, extending your battery with clean power, is kind of cool and also a convenient conversation starter when you’re trying to pick up that hippy chick (dude) at Whole Foods…
Speculation about Apple adding some kind of solar power feature to its iDevices has popped up periodically over the past several years. In 2008, Apple reportedly filed a patent application that indicated the company was looking at ways to embed solar panels behind the LCD screens of mobile gadgets like iPods, iPhones, and laptops.”
These are the solar battery cases you can find on the market:
Mooncharge by Frostfire - Cost: $60.
Volt Solar Charger - Sold in the US by GoSolarUSA; Cost: Not available.
Surge by Novothink - Cost: $80.
Solar i3000 by Icetech - Cost: $50.
Solar Charger by Solio - Cost: $100 (classic).
