If you are into rugged gadgets, then you may want to check out Urban Armor Gear (UAG)’s latest power accessories for phones, tablets, and laptops. Dubbed the SRGE collection, the power accessories include a 3-in-1 travel/desktop charger, a rugged portable power bank, a wireless charging pad + stand, and a data and sync cable.
The 3-In-1 Travel/Desktop Charger
The 3-in-1 travel/desktop charger is what you expect it to be: it charges 3 devices, namely an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and Apple AirPods. The look is pretty standard but with a tinge of rugged element. The outer case is crafted with a smooth PU finish to help it withstand whatever life (or you) may throw at it. It packs up to 15 watts of wireless power—which is not enough to break any charging speed records, but it is pretty fast, according to Apple’s standard. It is foldable, making it convenient to take on the road. It even has a tech accessory pouch to for storing the included premium braided cable, and a global power adapter.
10K Rugged Power Bank
This power bank packs a 10,000 mAh battery that is good for up to 2.5 full charges for your smartphone, up to a full charge for a tablet, and more—wrapped in a rugged armor exterior shell and is IPx6 rated. The rugged power bank comes with a built-in stand to prop up your phone allowing you to watch videos, browse content, or message as it is being wirelessly charged.
Wireless Charging Pad + Stand
Experience fast and easy magnetic charging in UAG-style (i.e. rugged style). This wireless charging pad offers up to a blazing fast (for iPhone, that is!) 15 W charging, and is MagSafe case compatible (duh!). But it ain’t no ordinary charging puck; it also boasts a metal kickstand for hands-free use hence the description Wireless Charging Pad + Stand. It is not surprisingly, built for durability with a metal alloy housing, carbon fiber inlay, and braided cable.
Rugged Data and Sync Cable
In the world of charging, the USB cable is the weakest link. Wait. Or is it just the official cables from Apple? Never mind. In any case, if you are down for a tough cable, UAG’s Rugged Data and Sync Cable is for you. The cable is made with Kevlar and rated for 50,000 bends—thanks to the multi-directional Hex Matrix strain relief that offers advanced protection from repeated bends, fatigue loading, and failure. The double-braided nylon exterior further boosts the strength and durability. The Rugged Data and Sync Cable supports fast charging up to 60 watts safely, and it is available in USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to Lightning connectors.
