Kickstarter-Backed iPhone Charging Case Has Compartment for AirPods

A Kickstarter-backed charging case has a molded slot to store and charge AirPods while it also charges the iPhone. Power1, from Brooklyn-based AXS Technologies, was available for preorder starting at $94 Monday, raising $22,097 from 212 backers, with a goal of $20,000. The case’s 3000 mAh battery is said to deliver 34 hours of talk time and up to 30 AirPod “fill-ups” on a charge. A power switch allows charging for both devices or the AirPods only. Retail price is $300 with expected delivery in October. It’s designed for X and later iPhones, said the company.
