  Made of plastic no doubt. How many barrels of oil does it take to save a ton of coal?

  A couple of Norwegian teenagers already produce a protection cover for iphone that contains a small solar panel and a back-up battery. Charges all the time in sunlight or under your desk lamp.

  @hop Agreed on the bulk comment, however the flexible films have about half the efficiency of the solid panels so you will need a bit more room to spread out. I think the issue with this concept is that it is limited to the desktop and not meant to be very portable.

  This looks like a over-designed novelty item, much unlike the "Glif" tripod mount that was simple and has a purpose. Honestly I wouldn't purchase or fund something of this matter.

  I think not being able to see the phone screen while the phone is charging is a big problem.
  
  I do like how the different aiming angles are built into the structure.

  This is a project for people who can't do math. Imagine, for $100 you can leave your phone out in the sun all day and it will slightly extend its battery life.
  
  This project has been done by others dozens of times, and every time it's become a meaningless novelty. You need a lot more surface area to get what people are expecting out of this.

  Why so big? This design is begging for a roll up flexible solar cell that it much more portable.
