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 fine 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.
