You might think Patriot Memory only has their hands in PC RAM and other computer related hardware. They have, however, been working diligently to break into the mobile space with a variety of accessories that bring consumers the same quality and exceptional performance that they are known for in the PC industry. We have had the pleasure of working with them to help introduce some of their mobile geared products since CES 2014. We showed you guys their killer Patriot FUEL+ battery banks and the Patriot 64GB USB 3.0 microUSB thumb drive. The team at Patriot has been hard at work to bring another product to market that might just change how you wirelessly charge your device. The most recent line of products keeps the Fuel branding going with the FUEL iON magnetic charging system.
At launch, coming in July of this year, will include a case and the charging stand you see above. Initially it will launch for the iPhone 5/5s and the Samsung Galaxy S4, but other device cases are in the works already and we hope to see the Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8 in due time. It is all pretty simple and easy to use. You set your phone in the case, click the connector into your device and you are good to go to place it on the charging stand. Patriot says the charge rates have a 99% charging efficiency, basically charging your device at just about the same speed as if it was physically plugged into the wall.
Both the iPhone 5/5s and Galaxy S4 kits will be $79.99. That includes the necessary case and the stand. To complete the system you can also pick up two addition charging accessories though. They will have a small FUEL iON Charge Pad, which is like a small hockey puck charge pad and a car mount for in use in your vehicle. The pictures look cool, but seeing it in a video doesn’t hurt. Check out the little video Patriot put together about the whole line.
I think it has a lot of potential. If it can charge at damn near full rates it would certainly be worth it. As I said earlier, the
Patriot FUEL iON case and stand kit is scheduled for a release coming up in July. As soon as they are available we will be sure to let you guys know. Until then, what do you think?
