Carrying a portable boost of power for your mobile phone has never been an exercise in fashion, but the QBracelet is a remarkably stylish way to tote around a bit of battery top-up power.

The QBracelet can be worn on the wrist like any other bracelet, and for a tech accessory it’s actually quite attractive. Different sizes let it fit both men and women, and a unisex design means that it doesn’t look out of place on any wrist.

When your phone is running low on battery, you open up the QBracelet via a concealed hinge in the middle. One end of the newly-open side contains a charger attachment; the other end contains a port for charging the bracelet itself.

The bracelet plugs directly into the phone’s charging port and wraps around the back of the phone to look like a rounded handle. You can use the phone while it’s charging without disrupting the charging cycle.

With a fully charged QBracelet, you can boost your phone’s power to about 60% via the integrated rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The bracelet comes in micro USB and Apple versions as well as four different finishes. It’s available for pre-order at the company’s website for $78.

Portable “top-up” or emergency chargers have been available for mobile phones for ages, but they tend to make using your phone difficult. When it’s tethered to the external battery and you want to use the phone for a call, you also have to lift the attached battery.

Designers Sang Hoon Yoon and Hyeji Eom came up with an elegant, streamlined top-up battery concept that gives you double the charge time and half the hassle. The Wireless Dual Battery starts out as a disc-shaped object. When you want to use it to charge your phone, you simply pull the halves apart and plug the half-circle into your phone.

The slimline charger fits right in with the phone’s body and lets you talk while charging without the awkward cord or clunky portable charger. If you’re feeling generous, you can even charge your phone and give the other half to a friend to top up at the same time.

When the Wireless Dual Battery is charging, the two halves fit together to charge at the same time. The charging pins slide to the sides so the halves can click into place. The design is clearly meant for an iPhone, but if the charger ever makes it into production we hope it would be offered for a wider number of devices.
