The Surfr for iPhone 6 will be debuted at the EnerPlex exhibit at CES 2015 in Las Vegas at booth #36065 from 6th — 9th January 2015, along with the expanded line of EnerPlex portable power solutions.

The Surfr Battery and Solar case for the iPhone 6 is the first case to integrate both battery storage as well as solar charging capacity into a sleek, thin and compact case. Enabling more than 10 hours of extra talk time as well as doubled video and audio capacity, the Surfr keeps iPhone users powered up throughout their day.

Ascent Solar's President and CEO, Victor Lee, said: "The integration of Ascent Solar’s revolutionary photovoltaic technology into this case is another example of the multitude of applications for Ascent’s ultra-versatile thin-film solar.”

The EnerPlex Surfr for iPhone 6 is integrated with a 2700 mAh lithium polymer battery as well as an ultra-thin photovoltaic panel, allowing the case to be less than 15mm thick while still providing power and protection. Equipped with an incorporated micro-USB input, users can charge both their case and phone by simply plugging into any USB power source, reducing their need to constantly be looking for an outlet.
