Charging up your smartphone is a process that some users will go through sometimes several times per day, depending on their usage, so the 'Check’n' Cable has been designed to ensure you can always keep an eye on the progress.
The cable enables users to see the charge process the whole time by displaying the charge percentage in a specific color to denote how the progress is going; this includes red when the charge is low, turquoise when it's almost done and green when it's complete.
The 'Check’n' Cable is the conceptual design work of Kim Jinseok, Park JungJun and Na Yongmin, and identifies a growing demand for accessories that keep the user in the loop virtually at all times.
