For most people (definitely us!), a single charge of our phones won’t get us through the day. We walk around, with a big power bank in our back pocket connected to the cellphone in our front. Besides making you look like a tool, it’s just not convenient. Enter Rubix, a Kickstarter project designed to take the cable out of the equation.

Simply dubbed “ON”, the project features a cover, and a power bank which is designed to magnetically snap onto the back of your phone. Coming in at only 13.9mm, it’s small, but it packs 5000mah which, for the non-tech inclined, is a lot of juice. Rubix have also added a power receiver on the bottom for good measure, so you could theoretically snap the battery onto your phone and put them both on a power mat to charge both at once. Finally, if you’re boring, or if you have a sweet Breaking Bad cover already, you could use a USB cable with the pack.

The project launched yesterday and has already made over $5000 and is showing no signs of stopping. Rubix have until the 30th of May to reach their $80 000 goal, but we imagine they’ll hit their stretch goals which will allow for covers of the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge and the iPhone Plus (The iPhone 6 is the only currently planned phone to be compatible).

With only a $10 international shipping cost (about R120) we think it’s worth giving a look. The charger will cost you R830 and a cover will be another R480, but you could nab both for R1200. Sure it’s not cheap, but with wireless charging becoming increasingly popular, it’s a trend we’ll all have to succumb to eventually. Cables are pretty dumb anyway.

Get it: About R1 000
