Clipless Phone Mount For Clothes Or Any Surface

This cool gadget is a great thing to have if you never want to part ways with your smartphone and want to keep it on you even when you’re not wearing a bag or clothes that have pockets.
Clipless is a strong mounting device that can attach your smartphone to any place imaginable, including your clothes, a wall, your car’s dashboard and basically anything that has a flat surface.


The device was invented by Canadian design company They Innovate and is currently on Kickstarter, where it has exceeded its $25,000 goal, with still more than 20 days left of the campaign.  Backers can get a full Clipless package for any surface and clothing for a pledge of $35.
The magnetic mount consists of a total of four pieces designed to provide the user with multiple possibilities as to what surface to attach their smartphone to. The pieces will be sold as a whole, but also separately, when Clipless is expected to start shipping this October.


How does Clipless work?
The first component of the gadget is a connector with adhesive, which has to be attached to the back of the phone or tablet. Developers say this adhesive works with any type of phone or tablet, but also with any case made of almost every kind of material. The adhesive however allows only one use, which means that if you want to use another phone with the device, you will need another connector.
The second piece is the actual magnetic Clipless. The magnetic tab is paired with a disc, the third piece, to allow users to easily attach the phone to their clothes. Basically, the magnet is first attached to the connector and then to the outside of your clothes, being held into place by the disc, worn insidethe fabric.

The fourth piece is used only for mounting the Clipless on flat surfaces such as walls. The wall mount is ideal for your smartphone or tablet and what’s really interesting about it is that it is NFC-enabled. This means that you will be able to run all sorts of apps on your device, possibly even linked to the specific location where you mount your phone.
When not in use, Clipless can be easily carried around in your purse or pocket. Don’t worry that the magnetic tab may damage your credit cards: although it is strong enough to hold a sledgehammer, the magnet is safely shielded.
What do you think of this device? Would you give Clipless a try?

Coming soon: Solar-powered displays for your smartphones

From receiving calls to surfing on the web, smartphones today are capable of doing multiple things at a lightning fast speed. While every aspect of a mobile phone has come a long way, one thing remains constant – poor battery life. 

One solution is solar power to charge the battery in the day. Samsung did it in 2009 with the E1107, which used the solar power to charge its battery when needed. But the phone did not do well as the solar panel was on the back. Aside from being impractical, this also meant that the phone had to be kept face-down, sometimes resulting in damage.

But a new implementation of solar panels could change things once again for those hoping for alternative and eco-friendly ways to charge their phone. IEEE Spectrum reports about a French startup, SunPartner, founded by optician Joel Gilbert and businessman Ludovic Deblois, which has a solution to the solar problem. SunPartner's methods involve putting a solar panel on the screen of the phone, thus allowing users to use their phones in the normal manner while still being able to recharge the phone to a certain extent.

SunPartner uses stripes of thin-film solar cells on the screen and a layer of tiny lenses is added on top so that the image displayed by the screen is still visible despite the solar cells. The photovoltaic cells capture the light, while the viewer can still see the display on the phone. This method currently adds about 20 percent to your phone's battery life. The company has stated that these solar stripes are currently 82 percent transparent, but they are working on making them 90 percent transparent.

SunPartner also said that using these solar panels in manufacturing smartphones will add $2.30 to the cost. The price seems low enough, but the efficacy of this method leaves much to be desired. A $2.30 outlay for around 20 percent extra battery life may seem too much for OEMs, but this tech also allows the battery to remain topped up when the phone is not being used in normal daylight.

The report does not mention whether the panel affects picture quality of the display. In any case, now that there is some foundational work done on this subject, it won't be long before we hear about a proper working solar-powered display. SunPartner is currently working with three manufacturers — Nokia is said to be one of them — to develop prototypes and claims the first phones with the new technology will be in markets in 2014.
