This tiny, lightweight (just 1.4oz – 40 grams) Lithium-ion battery pack slips sleekly onto any iPhone to provide up to 50% full iPhone charge (enough for several hours of use). No cords or adapters to forget, lose or break: the SOLiCharger plugs directly into your iPhone.

Available in black or white, the price tag for this charger is $39.95
