CES 2010: Case-mate Hug, Wireless Charging Case, Hands On
Last year Powermat exploded on to the scene at CES and we were there to catch it in the raw. This year, Case-mate is trailing behind the competition with the Hug, an iPhone case that brings “wireless” charging to the handset. Essentially it uses the same technology – inductive charging – only it costs about $50 less; $89.99 to be exact.
Case-mate’s Hug is part of the Wireless Power Consortium, which should mean that the case or the pad will be compatible with future iterations. Expect the Hug this month.
