With technology hitting its zenith, it isn’t surprising to come across a solar charging case for ipod Touch. This solar powered charger comes from the global manufacturer of energy alternative electronic devices, Novothink. The solar powered iPod case has been named ‘Solar Surge’ and is the first charger of its kind to get a license from Apple.

The charger allows you to charge your iPod Touch on the go. Like most of the solar devices the charger depends on the solar energy for its functioning. Novothink will soon be launching the Solar Surge for the iPhone 3G and 3GS in the near future.

The charger is a sleek device and rides high on looks. Along with its ergonomic design, the case is also eco friendly and easy to use. If you travel a lot, this might just be the ideal iPod case for you. The device does not take long to completely charge your iPod. In fact, check out their cool calculator to figure out how long it will take to recharge your device (based on usage).

The Solar Surge for iPods features solar panels that make use of the sun rays to charge the iPod. The device also has a USB 2 cable that goes well with standard USB charging ports and provides easy data exchange and fast charging.

The Solar Surge comes in a number of colors and has a price tag of $69.95 on it. The device is all set to hit the stores later this month. Make sure you get your hands on the case as soon as possible.
