# Charger-Integrated Cell Protectors The PowerLoop iPhone Case Keeps Your USB Connector Attached By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-03-01 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerloop-iphone-case References: [quirky](http://www.quirky.com/products/455-PowerLoop) The standard smartphone protector adds a bit of bulk to your handset in order to absorb any impact, but wouldn't it be great if that extra thickness contributed something else to your mobile phone? The PowerLoop [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/obsoless-iphone-case) Case incorporates a [coiled USB cable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-magcable) that's stored in the back of the cover, escaping from a strap. In addition to getting a handy lanyard that can hook your device around your wrist, this slight accessorizing of the basic [silicone protector](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dango-adapt-iphone-case) equips you with the necessary tools for refueling your gadget on the go. Just unclip the band; plug the short end into the jack at the bottom of your smartphone; meanwhile, the long end can connect to a computer flash drive or USB-compatible charger. Made by Quirky, the PowerLoop iPhone Case ensures that your solution to a low-battery situation is always at hand. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Integrated Charger Cases:** The trend of integrating chargers into smartphone cases provides a convenient solution for users to charge their devices on the go. - **Mobile Device Accessories:** The market for mobile device accessories, such as innovative cases with added functionalities, presents opportunities for companies to offer unique and useful products to customers. - **Convenience-focused Gadgets:** The demand for gadgets that enhance convenience for smartphone users, like charger-integrated cases, opens up possibilities for disruptive innovations in the technology industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can explore investments in charger-integrated cases and other accessories to cater to the growing demand for convenient and practical smartphone solutions. - **Mobile Accessories:** The mobile accessories industry can tap into the trend of integrated charger cases to develop and market innovative products that enhance the functionality and convenience of smartphones. - **Product Design:** The product design industry can leverage the demand for charger-integrated cases to create aesthetically pleasing and ergonomically designed solutions that combine protection and utility for smartphones. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Grip-Enhancing Smartphone Batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popsockets-popgrip-jumpstart-lightning.md) - [Backwards-Compatible Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/obsoless-iphone-case.md) - [Three-in-One Smartphone Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chargepuck.md) - [Protective Tech-Charging Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powchell-charger.md) - [Magnetic Self-Folding Charging Cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ivycable.md) - [Folding Multi-Position Charger Cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keychain-charger-cable.md) - [Wearable Triangular Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mchaos-power-bank.md) - [Gorpcore-Inspired Smartphone Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-bounce-case.md) - [Patch-Style Smartphone Power Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battery-pods.md)
