An In-The-Wild Belt Device Charger

The only thing worse than having your mobile device run out of battery, is having your device run out of battery with no charger on hand.

The CaliBuilt LLC team just developed a solution to aid this stranded without your charger crisis. Just remove your belt, and plug in your phone.

There now exists the “Volt Buckle”- the first ever belt mobile device charger that also conveniently holds up your pants.  The buckle is only available on its fundraising page, since the group is looking to reach $60,000 in pledges in order to start production. Being a USB product, the Volt Buckle charges iPhones, some Androids and iPads. It also provides sync capability.

As covered by Matt Burn of Tech Crunch:

“The creator explains that men, not being a gender that often carriers a purse, only have pockets to store items and thus often leave things at home — like a phone charger. But with the Volt Buckle a charger can always be handy.”

The creators anticipate the future Volt Buckle will have a back up battery, and a discrete connector for charging without having to remove your belt.

How very in-the-wild friendly.
