Let’s face the fact that you can’t part from your phone unless you are a disciplined minimalist. While most phone users register around three to six hours of average screen time every day, avoiding mindless scrolling on your phone has become a rarity in modern times. While some employ the majority of this screen time for productive tasks, most of us out there are stuck in the vicious loop of going back and forth to social networking apps.
Anyway, all that screen time sucks your battery, and that makes carrying a charging cable something of a ritual. At times you tend to forget to keep the charging cable handy in your backpack, only to be left high and dry after all that phone usage. Now that can be scary when the battery is running out and you are expecting an important call from your client.

This cool concept wants to eliminate every chance of you forgetting the essential charging cable because now you don’t have to remember to carry one. Yes, the concept proposes a dual utility smartphone case with a lanyard that has a USB-C charging cable attached to it. The smart idea seems easy to implement for a phone accessory maker, and will surely have many takers. I know more than a couple of my colleagues who will fancy buying one as they are into the habit of forgetting their charging cables. Just that the cable doesn’t fly around hanging from the case, there is a small enclosure to plug in both ends for aesthetics and functional easiness.
The functionality extends beyond just protecting your device, or juicing up your smartphone though. It can be used as a secure accessory to hold your big smartphone while taking pictures, making videos, or even going to the extent of shooting action shots without the fear of your expensive phone falling off. If you frequently travel to places that are notorious for phone thefts, having this dual utility accessory makes complete sense. Jinkyo imagines the unisex smartphone case with a charging cable in cool color options like military green, baby pink, or papaya orange for every kind of user.
