Let the sunshine in!

You’ve all experienced it: you’re making an important phone call and suddenly your battery’s low. Eline has already found a solution for when you’re riding your bike. But I wanted to find a solution that uses solar energy to recharge your cell phone. I found the Strap-Ya Solar Cell Strap for you. This little solar panel is very user-friendly because it can be carried around as a key chain. You can attach it to your schoolbag and connect it to your cell phone when your battery’s low. This portable gadget can be fully charged in 6 to 10 hours. On a cloudy day, you can just plug it into a socket and it will take 3 hours to charge. When fully charged, the Solar Cell Strap gives your cell phone an extra 25 minutes of talk time. This might not seem so much, but it can make a huge difference when you’re on the phone doing a job interview for your MTB-internship. Moreover, this gadget is also useful to have on you when you’re camping or when you’re at a festival.
