Wirelessly Charge Your Moto 360 With This Portable Backup Battery

/

The day has finally come and Motorola's highly anticipated Android Wear smartwatch is here and it's available to purchase for $250. But now that many people have gotten their wrists wrapped in a elegantly designed smart timepiece that is the Moto 360, our biggest fear was realized when it was revealed that Motorola's premium smartwatch only had one day battery life. No matter how great and useful the Moto 360 is with its Android notifications and Google Now integration, charging your watch on a daily basis isn't fun. Nor is becoming tethered to a wall charger. And with no micro-USB port to charge the Moto 360 over regular means of charging like using a portable battery charger or even using your laptop, you're $250 investment may not live on your wrist for very long.

Fortunately there's still some hope. While the Moto 360 can be charged using its wireless charging dock, it also supports the universally accepted Qi wireless charging standard. And that means it can also be recharged on the go using a special kind of a battery. Notably a battery like the QiStone+. It's a portable backup battery with a respectable 4,000mAh capacity that features Qi wireless charging support in addition to its regular USB charging port. Meaning you can set your Moto 360 on top of its smooth pebble-like surface to wirelessly charge while out on a trip without having to carry around the Moto 360's charging dock and wall adapter cable. How awesome is that? And why hasn't Motorola thought about doing this in the first place?

Verus Iron Shield Case, iPhone Cases Still Got It

/

If you're not in a rush to jump all over Apple's upcoming iPhone 6, then you may like this lush case made by Verus for the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5. It's called the Iron Shield. Just hearing the name makes you excited. This slim fitting case features a dual-layer hybrid design made up of a shock-absorbing black TPU core made to look like the original two-tone design of the iPhone 5s, albeit features this dimpled pattern on the back that is similar to Samsung's Galaxy S5. Around that, the Iron Shield features a thin aluminum frame said to provide additional protection without impeding on signal reception.

Cabin Brings MagSafe-Like Capabilities & Backup Power To iPhone

/

Cabin by a start-up compact called Hevo Labs is taking on Apple at its own game with possibly the sleekest charging accessory ever to be put on Kickstarter. And yes, this is yet another Kickstarter product that has surpassed its original funding goal of $50,000 within days. It seems like all the coolest product ideas stem from this amazing crowed-funding platform. All applauding aside, Cabin is an iPhone accessory that is trying to tackles two different things at once using the brilliant power of magnetism. This is one of those accessories that you'll desperately want.

Although it doesn't have the most attractive product name, Cabin sure does impress us with its all-aluminum and possibly the best looking, ultra-slim battery pack which attaches to the back of the iPhone 5 or iPhone 5s using a MagSafe-like magnetic connection. It was designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, yet it still packs a 2200mAh rechargeable battery under a svelte-looking, contoured aluminum unibody construction - which we think fits Apple's design language better than any battery case out there. That's partly because the Cabin battery isn't really a case.

You can get Bluelounge's Kickflip right now for $18, and in two different sizes that fit the 13-inch or the 15-inch MacBook Pro (Retina and non-Retina models).
