Clever Kensington Case Uses Credit-Card Kick-Stand
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, iPhone, Today's Chili
Kensington’s PowerGuard Battery Case for the iPhone 4 would be just another ho-hum Mophie-alike design if it weren’t for one very clever little tweak. Around back there is a slot in the plastic, into which you slide a credit card to make an instant kickstand. It is placed smartly, too, so it will support the iPhone in either landscape or portrait orientations.
The case actually comes with a card, so you don’t have to risk your own, and the whole thing is actually rather slim and clean-looking, adopting the iPhone 4’s own squared-off lines instead of the swooping curves normal for external battery packs. It will add four hours of talk-time (or five hours of video or 22 hours audio) to the iPhone’s life, charges via microUSB and has a volume control button, just like Apple’s own bumper case. And given that simple cases can sell for $40 or more, the battery-totin’, kickstand-convertin’ Kensington’s $60 seems reasonable. Available for pre-order now.
