'smrtFOB' Charging Devices Provide Power, Cables and Flash Storage

— September 30, 2016 — Tech
The 'smrtFOB' charging devices are designed with a revolutionary set of features that make them exceptionally ideal for anyone who owns a smartphone. Fitting conveniently onto one's keychain like a traditional key fob, the 'smrtFOB' provides an internal power bank, a removable charge cable and even key-tracking technology.

The 'smrtFOB' can be recharged by connecting it to a USB port or by simply placing it on the accompanying wireless charging surface. This works to act as the spot to place your keys when you arrive home, which will automatically keep the 'smrtFOB' charged up and ready to operate when necessary.

The 'smrtFOB' charging devices work with both iOS and Android as well as other USB devices, and are currently available for preorder on Kickstarter.
