Let's face it: the most multipurpose thing that most of us own is our smartphones and we'd be lost without it. But it will only last a day or two without charging. At full charge, the Solarprouse solar charger would have enough juice to give your smartphones at least 3-4 full charges, that's worth at least 4 days or screen time. Did I mention that the Solarprouse also doubles as a flashlight?
