The words "Do you have a charger?" are the new "Do you have a pen?". Twenty years ago, people would forget to carry pens around with them (and they nonetheless do) and the applied science race that followed thereafter has the states begging for chargers and charging cables instead, when our phones, our literal lifeblood, run out of battery.

The charging cable wasn't really designed to be an accessory you carry around with y'all. Phone companies brand batteries that final a day only and then that your phone doesn't have to be tethered to a power source, but what do you do when you've stepped out of the house but just to realize you haven't really charged your telephone? The problem simply gets worse when you realize you're at a friend's place, merely they don't accept the charger you lot need because they utilise a phone running a different platform. A San Diego based visitor named Nordic Matrimony wants to solve that trouble by identifying the most effective route… what if we got people to carry charging cables with them?

In comes the NILS, a small USB-based charging cable that was designed to be more than utilitarian. Sitting effectually your wrist, the NILS looks like a stylish bracelet, with its braided-leather design, just it conceals within information technology, a Kevlar-based charging cable. Fabricated to be a fashion accessory with a strong functional purpose, the NILS is a bracelet when you want, and a charging cable when you need. The USB and charger jacks dock into one another, forming a metal pendant of sorts at one end of the bracelet. Pull them apart, and the bracelet turns into a cable that you can use to either transfer data, or to juice your smartphone.

Available in a variety of colors, the NILS uses vegan leather around its exterior, giving it waterproof/water resistant properties (so y'all could footstep out in the pelting with your NILS bracelet and that wouldn't be a trouble). The USB buckle uses a magnetic closure to agree it in place, while the cablevision itself comes with a Kevlar weave, making it practically indestructible. The NILS too comes in 2 sizes (2 models and 5 sizes)… a smaller variant wraps around your wrist, while the larger variant, NILS Duo, circles the wrist twice before clasping together. Available in MicroUSB, Lightning, and the increasingly popular USB-C options, the NILS showcases a broad diverseness of colors too, allowing you to own multiple bracelets to go with your manner argument… and given that you lot're more likely to wear the NILS as a manner accessory, it automatically means you've always got yourself a cable to charge your phone wherever you go!
