Amber portable charging case for Apple Watch

The folks at Amber have created a portable charging station that looks like a jewelry case on the outside, sporting wireless a charger on the inside, with the ability to hold a charge on the go.

The watch-styled case measures in at 4.02 x 4.02 x 1.77 inches and weights 9.52 oz on its own. You might also compare it to the shape of an Apple TV, as its rounded corners and square body replicate the aesthetic of the television-based device.
This case comes in Black, Rose Gold, Silver, and Gold on the outside, white on the inside. In addition to being able to charge your Apple Watch, this case has a single USB 2A port that - with your own lightning cord - is able to charge your iPhone or iPad as well.

 

Inside is 3,800mAh worth of battery power. This battery is rechargeable, of course, and can be used just like a normal dock if connected to a wall socket. This dock can be found on KickStarter with 27 days left to go as of the posting of this article. They're well on their way to succeeding in their goal of $50,000 with over half pledged already.

This is a crowdfunded project, and as such may not deliver what its creators initially promise. Most crowdfunding sites, like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, have policies about what happens to your money if the project fails to deliver on its goals, but choosing to back a project is inevitably a risk.
