Wireless charging slowly becomes an important attribute for
a mobile device. In the last two years, the number of mobile devices that
support the wireless charging is getting large, and this trend seems to gain a
lot of positive response from consumers.
At the same time, Apple hasn't responded to the wireless
charging demand. The latest generation of iPhone: the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6
Plus, haven't supported the Qi wireless charging technology.
To overcome the battery life problem, some users choose to
use the iPhone 6 battery case, while others are more comfortable with the
traditional power banks. Each option of course has its own advantages and
disadvantages, but why don't combine the advantages of both devices into a set
of interesting accessory?
To accommodate both the above options, the Rubix On is
created. The Rubix On is composed of two different products: On Case and On
Charger. The On Case, as the name implies, is a protector for iPhone 6 - the
iPhone 6 Plus version and other smartphones will follow. There is a magnet ring
that's containing receiver on the back of this case. The second product is On Charger, it's simply
a 5000mAh power bank. At the top of this device there is a magnet ring
containing Qi wireless charging transmitter component.
The principle is simple, but effective enough to provide
wireless charging solution for iPhone 6 users. You just need to stick them with
the help of magnet rings, and then the charging will take place immediately
without the need for wires.
Your iPhone 6 can still be used easily despite being
in-charge. The On Case and On Charger will continue to stick so both can also
act as docking station, but in portable form.
Surely On Charger is also compatible with other handsets
that have supported the Qi wireless charging technology. When its capacity is
running out, you can recharge it using a regular microUSB cable as the other
power banks in general.
Interestingly, when the On Charger is being in-charge, you
can still attach the On Case to recharge the iPhone 6 battery. Do this at night, and then the next morning
you will find On Charger and iPhone 6 battery are fully charged.
More interestingly, if you have multiple On Chargers, you
can stack them one by one, and then recharge them all through one electrical
outlet only. This can be done because of the sophistication of the magnet rings
they have.
Rubix On can be ordered through the Kickstarter website. On
Charger and On Case are sold separately, but you can get both of them in one
package for $ 99 during this campaign - its retail price would be $ 148.
