`
`The PocketPlug was launched on Kickstarter in March 2012, which raised 130,000 dollars.[2] This led to the
`device being sold in Brookstone and Staples.
`
`The PocketPlug phone case features an integrated A/C charging plug which allows users to plug their phones
`directly into an outlet to charge their phone, removing the requirement for a charger. The case itself is
`manufactured with a soft-plastic rubber and features a sound funnelling design in order to enhance sound
`volume and quality.[1] While the case has received praise for the simplicity of the idea, critics have felt that the
`phone was lacking an external battery.[3]
`
`Prong, the manufacturers of the PocketPlug have developed a further accessory, the PWR case, which featured
`an external battery. The case will be rolled out at Best Buy starting in summer 2014.[4] CNET reviewed the case
`and felt that for "tired of dealing with wall warts, charging cables, and, especially, dead batteries, this might be
`just the case you need." [5]
