For iPhone owners wanting to save the planet or just their wallet by using less energy when charging their unit, relief has arrived. Solar Surge made by NovoThink, doubles as an iPhone protective case and a solar charger. It works by charging an external battery lodged in a case containing the iPhone and it offers about 20 minutes of extra life to the battery after a two-hour sun exposure, the New York Times reports. And for more detailed guidance on how much juice can be extracted from the charger, the company offers some information on its Web site calculator and on an iPhone app.
For now, the charger is only available at the company's Web site and sells for $80 for the iPhone version and $53 for the one for the iPod Touch.
