I have been waiting for a good solar charging case for my iPhone for years. If you’re a regular camper or hiker, you know how hard it can be to score some juice while you’re away from outlets. For over 2 years the team behind the SUNNY Case has worked to make power available for your phone no matter where you are, as long as the sun is shining. What makes this solar charging case so awesome?
The Power of Independence
With the SUNNY case you can go further and longer with your phone. Simply open the the solar cell section of the case and place your iPhone 6 in direct sunlight to begin the charging process. A digital solar output measurement is provided to tell you how fast your device is charging based on the amount of sunlight the SUNNY is receiving. The double sided panel allows your phone to charge 4 times faster than any other solar case out there.
Rugged iPhone Solar Case
The SUNNY is fairly thin, considering all of the features in it. But what I like best is that the case feels rugged, strong. While I’m not brave enough to throw products at walls like some product reviewers, I feel like this case can easily take being dropped.
Integrated Battery Backup
The SUNNY not only allows your phone to charge away from outlets, it also acts as an integrated extended battery (2000 mAh), doubling your phone’s life. This function alone will set you back at least $70 in competing products, but add in the rugged design and solar capabilities and its easy to see why this product is worth picking up.
