You know that the iPhone is one power guzzler, and that having an important call die on you is downright irritating, perhaps even leading up to you losing out on that business deal. Well, Novothink’s got your back with their very own iPhone case which is compatible with the iPhone 3G as well as iPhone 3GS models, since it boasts a solar panel on the back that will help juice up your precious handset wherever you go

Solar panels being used as back up chargers are nothing new.  However, there are still a great deal of us that don’t have one.  Be it due to lack of funds, not enough justification or even just not finding a design that fits your life.  If you’re still just looking around to find that right fit for your gadget addiction, here are two more solar chargers from Ambientech.  There is the SolarFold, as well as the SolarFan.  Both of which would work just fine to keep all of your small gadgets up and running. Apparently these are the first of their kind, at least in one aspect.  They are the first to use light-gathering spherical solar cells.  Now whether or not that gives them enough of an edge above the competition to get you to hop up and purchase one is debatable.  At the very least it’s nice to have a couple of different options on how these chargers open up.  The SolarFan comes with a special tripod and both of them come with a carrying case.  They became available last week and cost 22,050 yen or about $244

I’m always all about any gadget that can function well, while being powered by nothing more than the sun.  It cuts down on batteries and it’s basically the lazy man’s way of being eco-friendly.  In that you really don’t have to put in a whole lot of effort and you’re managing to at least help to not make the earth any worse than its current state.  That being said, I’m not entirely sold on this solar gadget.  Since it is an alarm, it almost seems like it’s advertising its presence to burglars. Sure, it’ll go off anytime someone opens the window at all.  However, I’m curious if someone were to break a windowpane next to the solar panel and were to just shut it off or tear it off, if it would do any good.  Then again many people looking at it from the outside would probably think it’s just a harmless solar gadget probably charging your cellphone.  Which if that’s the case, it could still work.  These window alarms come in twin packs for £24.99 or about $38

Apparently these oddly shaped speakers are Japan’s very first set of active speakers that are solar-powered.  These look more like a cryptic scroll than a set of speakers, but they are speakers.  They’re also speakers that will help you become just a little more eco-friendly.  After all, every little bit helps.  These flat speakers are shaped just right to give you the sound you need and suck up all the sun they’ll require to keep up and running. Once the Lithium-ion battery has managed to get a full charge, the speakers will run for a full 8 hours continuously.  The 19.5cm by 11.2cm by 5cm speaker can be connected to your iPod or MP3 player through the stereo mini input.  It weighs 290 grams and will be released in Japan sometime this coming March.  At that time it’ll be priced at 5,250 Yen or right around $58.

I should have known before I even checked just who this product would come from.  It just screams Hammacher, but somehow I didn’t figure it out till I looked.  This Solar Pool Heater will make sure that you never will have to go diving into an ice cold pool of water.  Instead it’ll stay slightly warmer to keep you from going into shock over the temperature.  Sure, it won’t turn your pool into a giant hot tub, but at least the water won’t initially seem icy. Thankfully your pool will remain heated purely through the power of the sun.  The heater just attaches to your pool’s pump-operated filtering system.  The water is then warmed by moving through the heater’s coiled black heating system that’s exposed to the sun’s energy.  Those coils measure 20 feet long.  If you don’t like the speed that it warms up the water, you can hook up to four heaters to your pool.  You can purchase these for $199.95 .

Using a solar charger instead of plugging your gadgets into an outlet is always ideal, but solar panels can often be pricey.  This small panel is about the size of your average cellphone, plus it won’t cost you a fortune.  With this small panel you’ll be able to keep any of your USB powered devices up and running no matter where you’re at.

I swear I’ve been on the thermometer patrol.  I’ve been casually searching for one for a while now, but just haven’t found that one that pulls me in.  My needs are basic, covering the usual basics like affordability and a battery-free design.  Well this one does just that, it’s not like the big weather stations that can predict the weather all day long.  It just keeps you posted on the current state of events and the lows and highs.  It does all of that without needing you to switch out the batteries. It’s completely solar powered and just suctions to your window.  It could be used on any glass surface, but that would make things complicated if it weren’t a window.  The suction cups are set up to stick on the outside, then while you’re warm indoors you can check the outside temperature.  You can also see what the low was for the night before.  It’s also thankfully pretty affordable.  You can purchase one for $25.10 through Amazon .

Solar chargers to carry around in addition to your gadgets are pretty common.  However, this one doesn’t give you something extra to carry.  Instead it holds onto your gadget of choice for you and keeps it protected.  All the while giving it some juice directly from the solar panel that’s attached to the front of the case.  You could use it for emergency situations only or use it on a more regular basis, either way it would come in handy. The case is meant to work with your usual small gadgets like your camera, cellphone and MP3 player.  All of which should fit into the case provided that they’re a smaller sized device.  It comes with an AC charger, a USB connect cable and a mobile phone plug to help you plug in your phone.  You just put it in the case, plug it in and zip it up.  The cord stays concealed within the pouch.  You can purchase one for $32.99 through China Grabber .

There is nothing more frustrating that talking on the phone only to have the line cut off simply because you ran out of juice. Sharp hopes to change that by offering an alternative method to keep your cellphone juiced up at all times, thanks to the Sharp SH6230C which will hit the Chinese market later this February.

Although you probably couldn’t pay me to go near water as cold as it is outside, eventually it will warm up again.  At least I’m pretty sure it will.  Once that happens you might want to pick up one of these Solar Bottle Boat Kits to give you something to do while you’re near some water in the middle of the summer.  It’ll give you something to play with, plus the joy of knowing that you built it yourself. The boat uses a solar panel on the top to keep itself powered.  Don’t worry all of the technology that goes into the kit is completely waterproof.  It’s all made with water usage in mind.  All you need to get that’s outside of the kit is a plastic soda bottle.  There are a total of 3 different boat designs for you to choose from.  The kit comes with a solar panel, wires, motor, propellers, tape, shafts and other various odds and ends.  You can purchase the kit for $24.95 from the Solar Sphere .
