Novothink, the leading provider of solar powered solutions for Apple products, is proud to announce the availability of the highly-acclaimed, Apple-licensed Solar Surge charging case for iPhone and iPod Touch. Surge combines a powerful, state-of-the art solar panel with a lithium ion battery into a comfortable, soft touch, non-slip finish case to provide energy conscious consumers with the ultimate protective battery backup solution for every day use.

“We are elated to bring Solar Surge to energy conscious apple fanatics nationwide” said Silvia Zimmermann, Marketing Director for Novothink. “We strongly feel that being the first Apple certified solar charging case for the iPhone and iPod touch is a huge step towards incorporating solar technology into everyday life.”

Tap Into the Power of the Sun – Novothink’s advanced solar technology provides about 30 minutes of talk time on a 3G network or 60 minutes on 2G from a mere 30 minutes of direct sunlight. Novothink also includes USB cable to charge Surge on a rainy day.

Advanced Battery Technology – Surge’s lithium-ion polymer battery(1500mAH for iPodTouch and 1320mAH for iPhone) more than doubles the battery capacity through a highly efficient charger. The smart charging technology automatically sends a charge whenever it needs juice and there is sufficient power reserved. There are no switches to worry about, it will know precisely when to stop and start charging. There’s also an integrated thermal sensor to prevent potential overheating if its environment becomes too hot.

Infinite Uses for the Outdoor Enthusiast – Surge includes a cutout for wrist straps and smaller carabiners making it ideally suited for traveling, hiking, biking, trips to the beach, and camping.

LED Indicators – The 4 built-in LED lights let you know if you have a sufficiently powerful light source in addition to how much charge remains in the battery.

   I decided to buy this case. After I took my phone for the first time I noticed two parallel stripes along the back of the phone. Inside, if the case is two lines scratched out is what my new phone! I decided to continue using the case, because I thought when the background is that I can not really back.
