You all know that we love gadgets and gizmos. Well, thanks to a BGR review that we recently came across, we discovered a Kickstarter campaign for one of the best iPhone accessories you will ever find.
A startup called Hevo Labs recently launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in an effort to make their idea, dubbed “Cabin,” a reality.
What is Cabin? In a nutshell, it’s a MagSafe system for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s. For those who have never owned a MacBook laptop, Apple uses a special magnetic charging system that allows the male end of a charger cable to attach to the female port on the laptop using magnets instead of a traditional plug mechanism.
The Cabin project includes a number of add-ons beyond just a MagSafe-like adapter that plugs into the iPhone’s Lightning port and a second adapter that connects to the charger cable. The company is also developing a gorgeous auxiliary battery attachment and a dock, which are each made available at different price points.
The Cabin charging solution starts at $25 for just the iPhone adapter and cable adapter, and they are expected to begin shipping in November. Of course, the iPhone 6 will be out by then, so people who plan to upgrade should consider that before placing any orders.
Hevo says it is already working on a new design for the iPhone 6, but the current Kickstarter campaign applies to the iPhone 5/5s version only.

That’s amazing! Wonder why no one has come up with this before!

What’s the great benefit? Charger cable will be heavier, paying for something you already got, timing suboptimal.. But the awesomness might outweigh that, if there was any..
The convenience of it seems wonderful. Plus, if you actually go to their kickstarter page, you can see their full plan of integrating this with a battery pack. Sorry you don’t find it as cool as we did though!
so it’s basically the same design as the Mophie but with a cool magnetic connector! Looks cool 🙂
