iPhone™ users everywhere can now charge on the go and enjoy at least double the battery life while keeping their iPhone™ safe and sound in a protective case.

Barcelona, February 17, 2009 – Today at the GSM Association’s Mobile World Congress,
Freeplay Energy and Intivation announced the iPhone TM TuffCharge™, a revolutionary solar
charging protective case with added battery capacity.

This new product is a first in offering effective solar charging to 14 million (and gaining)
power hungry iPhone™ users. The TuffCharge™ is based on highly innovative technology
from Intivation, allowing users to charge their phone in ordinary daylight conditions.
Exposing the case to an hour of sunlight throughout the day will add up to 60 minutes of talk
time (30 mins on 3G) or 2 hours of music playback!

Users can charge their phone anywhere, be it on a train ride or while they are out reading a
book in the park. The TuffCharge™ fully addresses the needs of the digital nomad, adding to solar charging
the benefits of at least twice the operating time and a sleek protective case. It is the ultimate
add-on for mobile individuals, giving them access to an unlimited, ubiquitous and renewable
supply of energy. “This device is a big step forward for iPhone users on the go. Solar charging is very
convenient, no cables needed, and I can keep using my phone when I visit far away
conferences. And of course it’s very cool because it’s a sustainable power source.”
– Boris Velthuijsen van Zanten, Serial Entrepreneur
The TuffCharge features:

•
Solar charger – only 1 hour of sunlight throughout the day can add up to 60 mins of
talk time or 2 hours of music playback
•
Extra battery – the internal battery equals the iPhone’s own battery capacity, giving
users double the juice so double the operating time.
•
Protective case – constructed of high quality, impact resistant materials keeping
iPhones everywhere out of harm’s way.
•
Dock connector – sync while iPhone is in the case, and charge the handset and
battery simultaneously.
•
Charge indicator – a series of LEDs shows when the case is charging and how much
battery is left.
The images shown are pre-production prototypes. The TuffCharge™ is still in final stages of
development; availability will be announced when development completes.
