Carrying a charger and cable for your smartphone can sometimes be a real pain, but a new charger called the Volt Buckle, created by the CaliBuilt team and currently featured on the Indiegogo website, might just help a few of us with the problem of keeping our smartphones charged while out and about.
The Volt Buckle charger is a handy little device that doubles both as a belt buckle and a smartphone charger. Watch the video below to see it in action. Its designers Jason Giles and Ryan Moore explain:
“Volt Buckle came to fruition after realizing that men typically have only their pockets to carry mobile device chargers and all the associated wires that come along with them. After trying to match numerous existing chargers to buckles, a match was finally found. After some genuine old-fashioned blood, sweat and tears, and hours pounding metal in the garage, the original prototype Volt Buckle was born.”
Innovative Design and Practicality
The Volt Buckle charger is not just a novelty item; it is a practical solution to a common problem. The design integrates a compact charger into a stylish belt buckle, making it easy to carry without the need for extra pockets or bags. This is particularly useful for individuals who are always on the go and need to keep their devices charged without the hassle of tangled wires and bulky chargers.
The buckle itself is crafted from durable materials, ensuring that it can withstand daily wear and tear. The charging mechanism is cleverly concealed within the buckle, maintaining a sleek and unobtrusive appearance. This innovative design means that you can charge your smartphone discreetly, whether you’re at a meeting, traveling, or simply out for a walk.
Support and Future Development
The Volt Buckle charger is currently over on the Indiegogo website, looking to raise enough pledges to make the jump from concept to production. The campaign aims to gather the necessary funds to refine the design, improve the technology, and bring the product to market. By supporting the campaign, backers not only help bring this innovative product to life but also get the opportunity to be among the first to own a Volt Buckle charger.
The Indiegogo campaign offers various pledge levels, each with its own set of rewards. Early backers can secure a Volt Buckle charger at a discounted price, while higher pledge levels offer additional perks such as personalized engravings or exclusive color options. This tiered approach allows supporters to choose the level of involvement and reward that best suits their needs.
Moreover, the success of the Volt Buckle charger could pave the way for future innovations in wearable technology. The CaliBuilt team has already hinted at potential future products that could build on the success of the Volt Buckle, incorporating similar technology into other everyday accessories.
