But seriously, make a manlier version of the case (with a wood trim, oh yeah), and that's a pretty nifty product.

All in all, it looks like a rechargable battery with a few solar panel glued into the circuit to provide power when needed. My only question so far is how long does it take to charge the built in battery by solar power alone? Not too bad, I wonder if you can jerry rig a couple of these to charge a laptop like Jon mentioned. http://www.globalsourcesdirect.com/servlet/the-1560/Solar-Mobile-Phone-Charger/Detail

Although marketing to the "girls"... I would be fine carrying this around as a guy.

Brilliant! Jacki:
