Smartphones may be mobile devices, but their short battery lives require users to constantly tether themselves to wall outlets. With this in mind, Velvetwire set out to design a more stylish, eco-friendly way to recharge. The Powerslayer uses a special software to ensure devices don't overcharge, which conserves energy and protects batteries. The Museum of Modern Art Design Store and Kickstarter recently announced the Velvetwire Powerslayer would be one of the products launched by their collaboration. <="" kit"

Until smartphones get longer-lasting batteries, a wall-plug USB charger and a charge cable remain a vital, though usually boring accessory. The Velvetwire Powerslayer distinguishes itself from the charger included with most devices by using special software to be efficient and environmentally friendly. The exterior design alone was stunning enough to earn it a spot in the short list of products launched by the Museum of Modern Art Design Store’s collaboration with Kickstarter.
