I am not a big fan of cell phone straps, not because I am vehemently opposed to them, they just haven’t made one I like yet, at least not that I’ve seen. And this one doesn’t exactly change my mind, but at least its functional in offering up a little extra juice for your mobile device.

Its 7.5-inches long and opens up to reveal some mini-USB connectors. Obviously that’s what you connect your mobile device to, but there’s no word, not even a reference point, for how long the battery inside lasts.

It’s covered in leather and can be recharged by your PC. It’ll cost you $12 and is available now.
