I am a heavy user. There. I said it. Some would say I’m addicted to my iPhone5S but most of us are dependent on our mobile devices. We swear it would be the first thing we grab (aside from our family members) in case of an emergency. Here's how Seido's Innocell stacks up to our use case.

Seem's like the TSA (Transport Security Administration) has decided to give travellers one more thing to worry about as they struggle to put back their shoes, belts and store their notebooks. Passengers flying to the US will need to turn on ther smartphones as part of the long line of checkpoint rituals they already have to endure in the name of safety and security.
The latest rule states that, "Powerless devices will not be permitted onboard the aircraft," this means screeners may now ask travellers to turn on those devices as part of the process. "The traveller may also undergo additional screening," the TSA added. Should a phone or tablet not turn on or be deemed to have low battery power, it might result in confiscation of the phone or tablet. It might be a good idea to invest in an external charger to keep everything juiced pre-flight.

Aside from their huge investment in Sapphire manufacturing, Apple's reportedly patented a way to build-all-glass devices including iOS phones and tablets, displays and TVs. More precisely, Apple was granted a U.S. patent covering a method of fusing glass structures together to encapsulate the internal circuitry of an iOS device, and that of larger electronics like monitors and televisions.
Why glass? Well, really, why not? The iPhone 4 and 4s were mostly glass and while that design was opening to cracking and shattering when dropped, it was nonetheless quite a breakthrough and glass is better for all those radios after all.

Nomad, makers of the super convenient ChargeKey and ChargeCard Lightning and microUSB charging dongles have expanded their line to include the NomadClip which is shaped like a carabiner but which gives users the convenience of charging their devices on any USB-powered plug. Constructed from a tough steel frame and a Bayer Science polycarbonate outer shell, the carabiner is strong and built for the nomad life. Despite it's looks, this is a Non-weight bearing carabiner and not for climbing, just for charging.
