Native Union iPhone Charger

Nick Bright spoke about this really cool iPhone Charger here and it solved a LOT of problems!

It’s called the Native Union iPhone Charger and it has a FAT knot at the end of it.

Unparalleled Strength
NIGHT Cable’s brand new construction for 2017 features a super-strong reinforced structure. Independent testing has proved it is 6x stronger than standard Lightning cables.

Increased Lifespan
Redesigned from the inside out, NIGHT Cable’s O-Flex strain relief design at the connector joints and 17,000+ bend* lifespan makes it incredibly resistant to daily wear and tear.

*Based on independent bend test. One bend = 90 degree clockwise bend + 90 degree counter-clockwise bend

Extended Range
NIGHT Cable’s extended 10-foot range gives you more freedom to comfortably charge anywhere. No more straining to use your device when it’s recharging.

Weighted Knot
Its weighted knot can be anchored to any flat surface, so it’s always there when you need it next. No more fumbling around for dropped cables.

MFi Certified
Our cables are MFi Certified by Apple, giving you peace of mind that they will be compatible with any of your Lightning devices. Each cable is given a unique serial number by Apple, and every Lightning connector contains an authorization chip that your device recognizes, so you know you have the real deal.

Highly Compatible
No need to worry if our cable is going to fit your favorite case. Our compact and slim Lightning connector head fits into most iPad, iPod and iPhone case port openings, including the Lifeproof case.

Charge and sync in style
The retro inspired braided cable complements both your style and your space.

Mophie Wireless iPhone Chargers

Who needs wires?
Wireless is the way to go now, Apple have dropped wires from their headphones and now Mophie have found a way to drop wires from your charger!

We have been using the Mophire Juice Pack Air + Wireless Charging base for a while now and it is amazing! Just like charging but without the wires, all you got to do is drop your phone down on the charging plate and it starts juicing up your phone!

The case is compatible with Qi and other wireless charging technologies so you can use it with a variety of wireless charge pads.

Mophie also offer a range of charger mounts, which we will try and get on the show to review soon, so keep an eye out for that! It features the same technology as the bases but has a small magnet in it to hold your phone in place.

The case is also durable and protects from:

  • every day wear and tear,
  • Has support pads inside the case to protect from drops and hard falls
  • Extra cushioning on the corners
  • Complete protection from water and dirt.
  • Has an extra battery to provide up to 100% extra battery giving you up to 27hours with the touch of a button.

Kenu Stance

We love our gadgets here at How To Kill An Hour and the Kenu Stance is no different, in fact we love it! It’s basically a really small and simple tripod, that is the first tripod that utilizes your phones charging port to safely mount the phone, it’s designed to go on to small surfaces, like a wall, a table or a window sill. The tri-pod can be designed to either stand a phone upright or fold up the legs and stabilize the phone to watch a film in landscape mode, it can also be used to shoot incredible timelapses like this as well!

There’s a bunch of functions that the two differing tripod options can do such as:

  • Streaming live video.
  • Creating time-lapse videos.
  • Watching films.
  • Chat using FaceTime and Skype.
  • Take use of the timer option on your phone’s camera better with self-timer shots.

It even has a built in key ring and bottle opener so this little device is more than just handy for photography, it can even get the party started!
