These Ray Ban solar shades can charge your iPhone 5

If youre outside on a sunny day, theres a good chance that youre both wearing sunglasses and youre nowhere near your iPhone charger. Design student Sayalee Kaluskar has combined these two common occurrences into a product capable of shielding your eyes from the sun and charging your iPhone as well. She calls them Shama Shades, but in truth theyre a pair of modified Ray-Ban sunglasses that have been fitted with a solar panel, a built-in battery and an iPhone 5 charging plug.

The glasses perform their traditional duty while youre catching some rays, and the solar panel fills the small battery hidden within. When the sun sets, you can remove one of the arms of the shades and plug it into your iPhone for an extra shot of energy. As the glasses were made for a school project, theres little chance youll get the opportunity to buy them any time soon, but an idea this good seems like it deserves to find its way to retail sooner or later.
