“Forget phone charger” might as well be on your pre-vacation checklist. It happens more often than we’d like to admit. Now you’re stuck in an airport somewhere, phone battery slowly dying and, of course, there’s a power outlet right next to you. PocketPlug Charger Case-in-One for iPhone 5/5s cuts out the middleman – the middleman here being external wires – to bring you an iPhone case with an integrated wall charger featuring flat folding plugs for maximum portability that are easily deployed and retracted with the flick of a finger. When in use, you’ll get an even faster charge than your usual standard charger.

The PocketPlug is also designed to enhance the quality of the iPhone’s speaker and microphone. By redirecting the sound from the speaker towards the front of the phone, the case allows for even louder and clearer audio. Finally if you do remember to take your charger, the PocketPlug’s micro USB pass-through still lets you charge your iPhone with a micro USB cord. If not, you’ll always have your PocketPlug with you to quickly and conveniently recharge your phone.
