SOLIO Mono solar-powered charger

Like many other companies, Sprint knows the power of “green.” That said, they’ve recently launched new eco-friendly accessories, including the SOLIO Mono solar-powered charger and two new Nite Ize mobile phone carrying cases made from 100% recycled plastic water bottles.

We’ve already talked about the SOLIO Mono Hybrid Charger, so I’ll just quickly recap the main point — it uses the power of the Sun for recharging a mobile device and is hence better suited for sunny areas like California and Florida. As for the pricing, Sprint is selling the device for $59.99, excluding taxes.
