This review is from: Voltaic Systems 1001 Solar Backpack, Orange (Electronics)

I was a little skeptical about buying this backpack but i was giving a gift card( it was only $30 card) and that helped sway me into buying it. it didn't take too long to get. i say that because i was in a rush to get it. When i first got it i noticed how sturdy it felt in my hands. Even though it's made of 100%c recycled material, it felt strong. I did my research and discovered this to be the best one of it's kind. the solar panels are extremely efficient. it can charge the battery pack up in a couple hours. plus i can plug the battery pack into a Mini USB port to charge it faster. I examined all the stuff that came inside the backpack. it comes with several tips for everything. for example. theres 5 different cell phone tips and one of those works for the PSP. also theres Mini B and Micro and more. the battery pack has a USB port so if u have a cable you can plug it in. When i wear the backpack people ask me whats on the back of it and i tell them it's solar panels for charging all my electronics and they think that it's an cool thing. it's great for airplane rides when you stuff dies or when your cell phone dies. theres also a cell phone holder on the strap with a cord running up to it so u can put your cell phone nearby and charge it. it also has small pockets and the end of the straps where they meet the backpack. the only down fall so far is the cell phone holder is held on by on button that tends to pop off often. the holder doesn't fall off but it flaps around.

PRO's:
- Solar Power (there plenty of sun around)
- Hi efficiency panels panels >20%
- plenty of connectors
- Rugged and strong
- Lots of space and place for laptop.
- Replacement parts are cheap
- 100% recycled material (i don't care but it's a pro)
- Fashionable (available in multiable colors)

CON's:
- Cell Phone Holder button likes to pop off (it flaps around and it annoys me)
- Cell phone holder can be inconvenient to store and charge depending on the model and placement of charger ( hole for cord is dead center of charger)
