Portable power management is ugly. If you need to push your phone beyond what its internal battery can support, chances are you have an external battery made out of plastic which sits like a lump in your pocket or purse. This is a great solution from a tech standpoint, but it isn’t the most stylish.
De Rigueur has launched a Kickstarter campaign to change that with a leather sleeve which charges your phone wirelessly. The Connected sleeve is handcrafted in France, out of a high quality leather, and features a 4500 mAh battery and contacts for Qi wireless charging. Simply slide your phone into the sleeve and it will automatically start topping off your phone’s battery. It’s a smart, stylish case to protect your phone, especially if you carry it around in a purse or backpack. And fret not if your phone doesn’t have Qi charging built in, as The Connected Sleeve includes an adapter to keep you juiced.
