XOO Belt — Designer belts that charge your phone

The idea of wearing my power is interesting. I carry a 6000-mAh battery pack by Jackery everywhere I go, but it's a little bulky and cumbersome. Another solution is the idea of power hotspots via recent Techstars-grad Chargifi.

@kicksopenminds That's cool! Is that inductive charging built into public spaces?
@piersridyard Yes. Here's a 1-min demo video that explains it a little more and alludes to their business model.
I'm still bummed the Volt Buckle didn't get funded - https://www.indiegogo.com/projec... . This XOO would be a fun gimmick, but $250? WTF?
@seanalyn Here's a video with some of the styles on the catwalk. I've seen the belt - it's not too thick. It's like a normal belt.
Curious how much safer a ceramic polymer battery is vs. a conventional lithium ion battery. I've had unpleasant experiences before with external batteries malfunctioning and would not one that close to my important parts!
@rrhoover - for extra geeky kicks, you can see me destroy one of the batteries in the belt to demonstrate how cool the tech inside is too :-D http://youtu.be/kYf_XYO80ew
@rrhoover @piersridyard This is great — goes a long way to ease my concerns about malfunctioning batteries on my body.
