Solar panel mobile phone strap gets you extra time

Cell phone batteries always die at the worst possible times (usually when you’re about to meet someone), but there are more and more options to give your digital leash a few extra miles.

Of course there are now back-up power packs that can be attached as a phone strap, but these need to be independently charged. The Solar Charge ec from Strap-Ya is a battery pack with an embedded solar panel that charges it during your everyday life as it dangles on your phone. Six hours of sunlight will get you about thirty-five minutes of use, which is just enough to use your GPS navigation to get home and charge it the way you forgot to do the night before.

Unless your phone is from Japan this is useless to you, but you can pick one up for about $17.
