People are generally reluctant to cover their sleek iPhones with protective cases - mainly because a “naked” iPhone is a sight to behold. But what do you do when something like the JuiceTank comes along?

You begin to rethink your priorities. This thing not only looks great, it also promises minimum bulkiness, protection against bumps and scratches and, best of all, power!

That’s right, the JuiceTank also charges your iPhone, and it doesn’t use wires. It’s a dual-purpose case that also acts as a wall charger. Simply pop out the outlet plugs and slide it in any socket.

According to its makers, the JuiceTank is “the first iPhone case to feature an integrated wall charger that folds flat to provide maximum portability.”

“The automated plug deploys easily and allows you to plug your phone directly into any outlet. No cords required,” say the developers.

“Poor battery life is one of the biggest complaints about the iPhone.  Help us get this product to market and together we will solve this problem once and for all,” reads the promo over at Kickstarter.com.

There’s also a Kickstarter Limited Edition JuiceTank that features green accents and is available exclusively for Kickstarter backers. Speaking of which, there are currently 499 backers who have raised  $24,212 to bring this KickStarter project to life.

The goal is to raise $125,000 and there are 55 days left to go. If you like the concept behind the JuiceTank, visit the product’s page here for more information on how you can secure your own, as well as help the developers bring this awesome product to market.

“We are using the funds we raise on Kickstarter for tooling and to begin production,” say the makers. “Kickstarter projects that do not reach their goal do not receive any of the funds, so help us get there with time to spare. With your help, we can begin shipping the JuiceTank as soon as Summer 2012.”
