CES: Nyko announces new wireless charging cases
At this week’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Nyko Technologies (www.nyko.com) announced details about their new line of power accessories for the iPhone. The Los Angeles-based battery solutions expert is now expanding to offer power cases for the iPhone 6 and 6S.
The new products include the Power Shield case, coming in a variety of power capacities up to 3500 mAh, and the Power Shield Q case with Qi inductive wireless charging and 2200 mAh capacity. The Q Shield was also announced, which simply adds Qi inductive wireless charging capabilities to an iPhone 6 or 6S in a slim design.
The Power Shield for iPhone 6 and 6S is a charging case available with a battery capacity of 2500 mAh, 3000 mAh, and 3500 mAh, supporting more than double the usage time over the standard iPhone battery. The case is durable and streamlined, includes a 3.5-inch pass-through headphone adaptor, and features a light-up charge indicator to illustrate the amount of charge. The Power Shield is anticipated to ship this spring at an estimated manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $119.99. It can also be used with the Power Shield Dock, which is sold separately.
The Power Shield Dock is a drop-and-go charging station for an iPhone 6 or 6S capable of simultaneously charging the iPhone and the Power Shield. It features a dedicated AC power cord for faster charging than the standard iPhone cable. It’s also due in spring for an MSRP of $39.99.
The Power Shield Q is a Qi induction charging case with a built-in rechargable battery capacity of 2200 mAh which augments the iPhone 6 or 6S with wireless charging. The Power Shield can also be used as a power bank to charge other devices via the included USB charging cable. It’s anticipated to ship in Sspring for an MSRP of $119.99.
The Q Shield is an iPhone case that enables the phone to be charged wirelessly via Qi wireless technology. It will cost $59.99 when it ships (you guessed it) this spring.
